July 2020
We all know how big a problem plastic pollution is – and it has not gone away while we’ve been trying to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Which is why we invite you to join the Plastic Free July Challenge, a series of activities and actions being organized by the Sierra Club Ontario and the Great Lakes Forums’ Plastic Pollution Team.
Reducing plastic pollution will generate savings for businesses, towns, and governments, and generate tens of thousands of new jobs in Canada - a great way to build back better after COVID.
By joining the Plastic Free Challenge, you will be joining others in pushing for solutions to plastic pollution. You will get tools to reduce plastic pollution by pushing for much-needed policy change, asking local stores to reduce unnecessary plastic use - plus have access to film screenings, educational materials, and ideas to reduce your personal contribution to plastic waste.
This July, I hope you will join us in getting Plastic Free.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lino Grima
Chair, Ontario Chapter
