Make Church Street a Clean Air Zone
Low emissions zones are a very quick way to bring down pollution ( NO2 ,PM2.5) and avoid cognitive decline and cancers from combustion traffic.

"Higher emissions from industry and residential combustion, as well as biofuel, coal, and oil and natural gas combustion, were associated with worse language scores."

Would you drink this B.C. water tainted by mining waste? The company says it's just fine

The Copper Mountain mine has been repeatedly fined by the province for polluting nearby waterways; in 2021, its operator at one point exceeded the legal limit of copper waste discharged from its tailings pond into Wolfe Creek by more than 4,500 per cent.

European citizens face increasing exposure to PFAS pesticides through fruit and vegetables

A study by PAN Europe and its members reveals a bitter truth: European citizens are increasingly exposed to cocktails of PFAS pesticides through their food. This subgroup of ‘forever chemicals’ are deliberately sprayed on food crops, making fresh fruit and vegetables a direct and systematic route of exposure for consumers. The findings raise serious environmental and human health concerns. In response, PAN Europe urgently calls for a ban on all PFAS pesticides.
