Getting Off the Bottle

Reducing our use of bottled water is one of the easiest changes we can make to protect our own health, to protect the environment from plastic waste and to protect the planet from global warming. To find out more, download our 8 page brochure, Toxic Footprint Brochure

read our full research report (pdf) about the toxic footprint of bottled water in BC. Make a pledge to reduce the number of PET plastic water bottle you buy.

Pesticides

Please support our pesticide campaign

Research has shown that pesticides pose a significant threat to human health. Pesticide exposure has been linked to cancer, including childhood cancer, developmental defects, and behavioural disorders. Children are most at risk from pesticide exposure because their smaller, developing bodies are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of pesticides.

Toxic Free Canada asks you to support a provincial ban on cosmetic pesticides by signing our petition to ban the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides in the province of British Columbia.

Please take action to protect your health and the environment by signing our petition , joining our hotlist or newsletter list and asking your friends, colleagues and family to sign up in support. We can make a difference and now is the time to get involved!

Right-to-Know

If your household products were exposing you or your children to toxic chemicals that could potentially cause cancer or reproductive damage, shouldn't you have the right to know? We believe you should. We're Toxic-Free Canada, the new voice of the Labour Environmental Alliance Society (LEAS). We believe that the right to know is a fundamental right — and with it, the power to change.

That's why we're working with other groups and campaigning for federal right-to-know legislation that would require ingredient and hazard labelling for household products. We believe that any hazardous ingredients, such as carcinogens or reproductive toxins, should be identified, so that consumers can make informed choices.

You Can Help!

Join our right to know campaign and work with us to create a Toxic Free Canada. Take action by signing up to our newsletters or hot list so you can keep up to date on what's happening with legislation, new product research, or what's up in your community. If you care but don't have time to get involved, you could support us with a gift or monthly donation. Even joining our mailing lists helps us receive additional funding from our sponsors.

Get Informed

To find out what's in your household products, order our CancerSmart Consumer Guide, also available in french entitled Diminuez les risques de cancer : guide du consommateur averti.

You are invited to share your story and questions with us and become part of the greater dialogue, much like our friend Raffi Cavoukian has done (Letter from Raffi Cavoukian).
