[[link removed]] John,
We have worked hard to make plastic pollution a priority in Canada. You, along with thousands of our supporters, continued to call on our leaders
to take action on plastic waste. And your demands were heard. Last fall, the federal government committed to banning six single-use plastic
items and to list plastic as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) as a first step in fighting plastic pollution. Nearly six months later, there is little sign of progress. The plastic industry
is pushing back against federal regulation — a sure sign the government is on
the right track. The time to act is now, before a federal election interrupts
the government’s work.

and the natural environment. It’s time we put the health of our environment before the industry’s bottom
line. Canada needs to transition to a circular economy, where reduce, reuse, and
repair are prioritized, and problematic single-use plastics are banned. Tell the federal government we can’t afford further delays on plastic
pollution.
[[link removed]] It’s time to act now.
