Take action
Tell the federal government to finish the job on “forever chemicals”
It’s time for Canada to act on toxic “forever chemicals.”
PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals,” are toxic, don’t break down, and are building up in our bodies and environment. Despite the growing evidence of harm, Canada has yet to meaningfully regulate them.
You can help change that.
Tell your B.C. MLA it’s time to pass a biodiversity law
Biodiversity is plummeting in B.C. The province has the most species at risk in Canada, and the weakest laws to protect them. Under B.C.’s current legal framework, habitat loss is accelerating at an alarming rate, while corporate profits are prioritized over the health of ecosystems that sustain our communities.
Your assignment? Write to your MLA and remind them that protecting biodiversity isn’t extra credit — it’s the core curriculum for safeguarding B.C.’s future.

Give the Southern Resident Killer Whales a lifeline
Both the federal environment minister and the fisheries minister know that these endangered orcas are long overdue for strong protections. A newly operational Trans Mountain pipeline means they can’t wait any longer.
Will you email those in charge now? The ministers must recommend that Cabinet issue an emergency order to protect the Southern Resident Killer Whales.
Tell your politicians to stop fuelling wildfires
Climate change has created the perfect conditions for “supercharged” wildfire seasons. And it’ll only get worse if we keep on burning coal, oil, and gas.
In a time of increased political uncertainty, it’s important political leaders do not lose sight of protecting public health and safety and the environment.
Politicians have the power to put us on the path to a safer future. But they’ll only act if you tell them to.
Urge financial institutions to stop funding fossil fuels
