Good morning everyone,
Just received an email from the David Suzuki Foundation.
Toronto, Ontario has became the 100th community to
pass a Blue Dot municipal environmental rights declaration — a significant step
towards ensuring that all levels of government recognize your right to breathe
fresh air, drink clean water, eat safe food and have a say in the decisions
that affect your health and well-being.
This means that, so far, 8,000,000 Canadians live in cities that have said formally that citizens have a right to drink clean water, breathe fresh air, eat safe food and have a say in health and well-being decisions.
This is pretty great. The initiative was launched in September 2014 by the David Suzuki Foundation, and there's more information about it here
I'm going to do some checking at London, Ontario City Hall to find out how it is that London isn't on the list!
Best regards,
Why's Woman
