The Problem
Plastic pollution is found in every corner of the globe, from the deepest ocean trenches to the remotest Arctic regions. Plastics persist in the environment for hundreds of years, eventually fragmenting into tiny pieces called microplastics. These plastic particles make their way into our food, our water, and even our bodies.
The Solution
To protect wildlife, our environment, and our health, we need to stop plastic waste from piling up all around us. Governments must create laws aimed at reducing plastic waste, and businesses must commit to reducing and eliminating plastic packaging, and being responsible for the mess their plastic products create.

People in Canada deserve more options to use – and discard – less plastic. Canada is on a good path to address the harms caused by plastic, including banning some harmful and unnecessary single-use products. But we must do more. Our federal environment minister must step up the fight against plastic pollution!
