Prevent Cancer Now
Hi fellow Green supporters,
You may know that I am big fan of sickness prevention, rather than sickness treatment, the approach predominantly used by our current health care system in this country. The Prevent Cancer Now organization is devoted to the cause of preventing cancer in Canada, probably the closest thing to a cure we are ever going to see. I have an association with the PCN and we are actually working on a project to train people to make public presentations on preventing this deadly disease. Look for that coming out this summer.
PCN, launched a new website today to help provide Canadians with resources to fight for that cancer-free future – www.preventcancernow.ca. You should take a look at it and consider the advice it freely provides.
Among the new materials are:
· A toolkit to help fight the dangerous technology of incineration. Incinerators emit hundreds of pollutants into our air, land and water every single day, including cancer-causing agents that build-up in our bodies. Health Canada states that the large-scale burning of municipal and medical waste is the biggest source of dioxins and furans. Despite this, many Canadian cities and municipalities are now facing new incinerator proposals.
· A renewed call on the Canadian government to phase-out and eliminate all known or suspected carcinogens in manufacturing and industrial processes, food production and consumer products. Please sign the declaration.
· Information on the continued shameful practices of our federal government to actively promote the use of asbestos nationally and internationally. Visit the new website and Take Action on asbestos.
Please visit the new website today and help yourself and help make a difference. Sign up for their newsletter.
