our cause
My name is Ella and I have created a special project to show our love for our green space. This project is called Arms around Withrow Park. At the Withrow Park Farmers Market we plan to start a circle of people and slowly turn it into a huge circle by adding and asking more and more people walking through the park to join and help the cause. My idea is that the circle will show our commitment and love for our green space and show that we need to help our struggling environment. We are going to have a stand at the Farmers Market with the David Suzuki Foundation with more information about the event and their movement.
All the money we raise will go to the David Suzuki Foundation. You may know that they have a very special movement called the Blue Dot Movement. Over 110 countries have a law which is a citizen's right to a clean environment. A lot of countries have this right - but not Canada. Some communities in Canada have already signed the petition but only 3879 people have signed the petition in Toronto (out of the 2.79 million people who live in Toronto). Their ultimate goal is amending the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to recognize Canadians’ right to a healthy environment. There are so many global problems that the government is not paying attention to and those problems are affecting our environment a lot.
We will have the petition at the stand and have people sign it at the Farmers Market. For more information about the Blue Dot Movement visit www.bluedot.ca.
