Saving Ourselves, Saving our Planet: Stopping our Plastics Disaster
This October 2024, as our alternative to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Breast Cancer Action Quebec (BCAQ) invites you to join a unique project that connects health, social justice, and the environment. Entitled " Saving Ourselves, Saving our Planet: Stopping our Plastics Disaster " this initiative aims to educate and mobilize against the destructive effects of plastics on our health, communities, and planet.
This project highlights the links between plastic toxicity, cancer risks, environmental racism, and the urgent need to act for a healthier future. Together, we can make a difference by advocating for sustainable and equitable solutions and by calling on the Canadian government to take an ambitious position during the UN plastic treaty negotiations in Busan, South Korea, in December 2024. The treaty must, among other things, include bans on plastic production and plastic waste exports, in addition to being legally binding.
Join us over the coming weeks and month for a webinar, discussions, and concrete actions aimed at addressing the impact of plastics and building a future where health and justice prevail.
Be the change. Let’s end the plastic era.
