You probably don’t question whether you have the right to a healthy environment, to breathe clean air, drink clean water, to have productive soil that grows the food you eat. So you may be surprised to know this is not actually your legal right. Not in Canada. What does this mean to you?
Over the next several months, Ecojustice will be engaging Canadians on this very question, starting with our short animated video, A Tale of Two Valleys. Our goal is to get thousands of Canadians to join the growing movement to have our right to a healthy environment recognized by governments at all levels.And you can help.
Please take two minutes to watch A Tale of Two Valleys and then share it with friends, either by email or on social media.
Click to watch the video:
From Norway to Nicaragua, more than 100 nations have taken action to recognize and protect their citizens' right to a healthy environment. And in countries where this right is recognized, the benefits are clear: Laws that help fight things like pollution and toxic chemicals are stronger and ecological footprints are lower.
Now it's time for Canada to take action, too.
That's why Ecojustice is using its unique expertise to ensure Canada joins the ranks of other global leaders. And we want you to be part of the movement.
Please take two minutes to watch this video and share it with others. To learn more about your right to a healthy environment, visit our website at www.ecojustice.ca/envirorights.
Thanks for taking action,
