As the world gears up for the fourth round of UN negotiations on a Global Plastics Treaty in Ottawa from April 23-29, we need Canada to champion progress towards a cleaner, plastic-free world. With time ticking, we need your voice to ensure our leaders take bold and decisive action.
From production to pollution, plastic is detrimental across its whole lifecycle. Over 51,000 voices have joined us and spoken in support of a strong Global Plastics Treaty. [1] Now, let's urge the government directly!
Join us in urging Steven Guilbeault and Justin Trudeau to champion a robust Global Plastics Treaty. As the host country, Canada has a unique opportunity to help set the tone of the negotiations and drive meaningful change.
By sending a message to our Environment Minister and Prime Minister today, you're urging them to take a bold stance to ensure the Treaty:
🚫 Cuts plastic production
🥤Sets global reuse targets
🌱 Upholds Human Rights and Indigenous Rights
🔄 Respects the zero waste hierarchy in its implementation
⏩ Accelerates a just transition to a zero-waste future
Previous rounds of negotiations have been thwarted by lobbyists and industry interests [2], but, together, we can overcome these obstacles and pave the way for a cleaner, greener future. Let's hold our leaders accountable and demand that Canada leads with courage and conviction at these critical negotiations.
Let's send a powerful message: the time for leadership is now. By sending an email, you're not just advocating for a cleaner environment—you're demanding justice, equity, and a healthier future for generations to come.
Join us in the movement against plastic pollution. Email Justin Trudeau and Steven Guilbeault Now!
