Recently, we launched a campaign to lobby the Federal Government to require warning labels on paper cups. Please join our
FACEBOOK application.

You can also show support by
signing our petition!
We want people to know that, not only are paper cups NOT made from recycled material, but they're also NOT RECYCLED because of the
polyethylene coating
on them. In addition, paper cups give off methane gas in landfill, a greenhouse gas with
23 times the heat-trapping power
of carbon dioxide. In North America, 20 BILLION paper cups are used annually. We really do need warning labels on paper cups! Please support this campaign by sending an email to a friend, someone in the media and/or your Federal Environment Minister (In Canada, Peter Kent) - see links above. We also have a Facebook recommend button above to help spread the word to your friends. It only takes a second to click it!
