Dear Friend,

Today, April 22nd, is Earth Day--a day dedicated to celebrating our
beautiful planet and uniting in the fight against environmental threats.

This year, the theme of Earth Day is focused on one of our greatest
challenges: plastic waste. Microplastics, tiny fragments from broken-down
plastic or manufactured products, are everywhere. Microplastics are in our
air, water, food and our bloodstreams. These particles not only harm marine
life and wildlife, they pose health risks to us all. The Green Party of
Canada is committed to ending this cycle of pollution and creating a
cleaner, healthier future for everyone.

It's important to remember that taking action to protect the planet makes
sense financially, delaying or rolling it back doesn't. Reducing plastics
pollution will reduce harm to human health and put less strain on our
healthcare system. Making our homes more energy efficient reduces carbon
pollution in the atmosphere and reduces the cost of heating and cooling.
Supporting active transportation options and better public transit reduces
pollution and improves well-being. Increasing local food production and
supporting local farmers makes us less vulnerable to drought and
disaster-induced price fluctuations. It also gives us an alternative to the
price gouging grocery monopolies.

What we're trying to say is this: the health of our communities, and our
financial health, goes hand in hand with the health of our planet.

This is why it's more important than ever to elect Green MPs who will
advocate for bold, systemic changes. The recent federal budget, filled with
half-measures, failed to address climate change and social
inequality​​. We need leaders who will push for the strong
environmental policies, affordable housing solutions, and economic justice
that Canadians deserve.

Your support makes a difference. By donating today, you're helping us
promote policies that protect our environment, improve affordability, and
foster a more sustainable future. Together, we can create a cleaner,
greener Canada for ourselves and future generations.

In addition to supporting our work to elect more Green MPs, we encourage
you to sign the Earth Day petition for a Global Plastics Treaty. [2] This
petition urges the United Nations and Governmental Organizations to commit
to reducing plastic pollution and supporting solutions that protect our
planet.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let's make this Earth Day a
turning point for positive change.

Warm regards,

YOUR GREEN PARTY OF CANADA TEAM
