We live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, with some of the largest reserves of fresh water, natural spaces and remaining populations of wild animals. This image of Canada is an identity we hold dear. For this reason, we are very excited to announce this contest inspired by the Blue Dot Movement ? and funded by the Cooperators Investment Group’s Impact! Leadership Program .
The Blue Dot movement started with a simple idea: that everyone in Canada deserves the right to a healthy environment — the right to clean air and water, and safe food — and that this right ought to be protected.
What does living in a healthy environment mean to you? Why does preserving and protecting the environment matter to you?
Show us why you Love the Earth!
For us, it starts with: “Clean Air?, Clean Water ?, Safe Food ? and a Healthy Environment ? for All.”
