Nurses see the health impacts from fossil fuel pollution on patients.
They are joining the call to ban fossil fuel advertising.
Bill C372 will treat oil/gas greenwashing like we treat Big Tobacco - as a threat to human health.

The many benefits of plant-rich diets are (still) underemphasized by the climate community.

'Were Brazilians to align their beef consumption with health recommendations, national emissions would drop significantly without affecting the economy.'

We can't let heat-related deaths become part of the new normal in a warming 🇨🇦.

Canada is falling behind on adapting to climate change. We still have a chance to save lives while tackling the root causes of the climate crisis.

#Plastics jeopardize our #health & Canada must help push for a solution.

So glad to see progress here.

“In recent years … researchers have begun to acknowledge that consciousness may also be widespread among animals that are very different from us, including invertebrates with … far simpler nervous systems.”

Congrats to Animal Justice and others for their work on striking down Ontario's ag-gag law.

These laws aid and abet animal cruelty, and are a disaster for transparency.

The Canadian Partnership for Children’s Health and Environment (CPCHE) and its partner orgs have issued an urgent call to action Thursday, in a bid to improve indoor air quality. #pollution #health

Alberta Education Demetrios Nicolaides 🇨🇦 🇨🇾 Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health Alberta Health Services ASBA

💔 This is heroic. However, Moms should not need to educate people about #airpollution after losing a child.
The health sector needs to vastly accelerate curriculum change so all medics know how to respond to #wildfires .
Dr. Kathleen Ross Jane Philpott AFMC Mark Holland

Wildfire season means poor air quality for everyone, but kids and vulnerable populations are on the front lines.

Great to see CPCHE calling for better indoor air quality.

Let's also tackle the root cause: the burning of fossil fuels.

Hats off to Montreal for showing great leadership on getting fossil gas out of buildings!

And hats off to the great organizers for helping make this happen!

Association QC des médecins pour l'environnement @CAPE-ACME Nature Québec Coalition Sortons le gaz!

This is a Code Red for Canada.

Wildfires and other climate impacts are not inevitable. We must tackle emissions from burning coal, oil and gas.

In 🇨🇦, that means a strong Emissions Cap ASAP while we adapt with interim measures.

'Every sign is pointing to another summer of deadly smoke. And we need to start preparing now.'
Thanks Nicole Ireland for interviewing me about Carter's Project.
We must prevent more deaths by:
⬆️ wildfire smoke protection
⬇️ fossil fuel use

Thanks to Caroline Metz of Intact Centre | Centre Intact for raising the alarm on heat-related deaths.

As Canada enters what could be another brutal season for climate-induced severe weather events, her list of solutions is so important.

My dream is for all parties to be racing to outcompete one another on climate solutions.

As Margaret Atwood once said, 'Everyone's an environmentalist. Some people just don't know it yet.'

Floods are a climate impact w/ real consequences for health + finances.

🇨🇦 needs to step up $ for its National Adaptation Strategy + do much better on climate-resilient housing.

Good to see Canada take leadership here. Plastic is in our blood, and all around us. There needs to be a limit to this pollution. Plastics treaty without production limit is unacceptable, says Guilbeault | iPolitics ipolitics.ca/news/plastics-…

Dr. Lyndia Dernis of @CAPE-ACME Association QC des médecins pour l'environnement said most #plastic additives are #EndocrineDisrupters , which cause everything from diabetes and obesity to high blood pressure, infertility, #cancer and immunologic disorders.

This was a brilliant and sobering documentary. Congrats to Rick Smith and team for the hard work. Proud to see @CAPE-ACME as one of many supporting organizations at last night’s screening.
