David Suzuki: Canada has no environmental health policy

To quote a passage by the David Suzuki Foundation:

Many Canadians will find it disturbing to learn that their country has fallen behind in protecting its citizens from environmental threats to their health.

While most developed countries have adopted national health and environment strategies, Canada has not.

Each year, millions of Canadians become ill or disabled after being exposed to environmental contaminants linked to asthma, gastrointestinal illness, poisonings, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, developmental disorders, birth defects, and reproductive problems. read more

This great environmental leader has launched a campaign to get the Canadian Government to protect citizens especially children from daily consumption of highly toxic substances.

We especially love his fifth solution “To promote environmental health on the international stage”. Enter 287 The Movie!
