Environment Policy

 

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realize that we can’t eat money

All the money in the world will be of no use to us if we do not have our health. That is why our environment is so important. CAP’s decisions will take into account the environmental protection of the air, water and land and all the species that live in Canada.  We will work towards the elimination of burning fossil fuels; support a Green Economy of Solar, Wind and Tide Power, and work towards developing other Earth friendly systems. The Canadian Action Party will continually monitor all aspects of the environment and re-instate or introduce, and enforce stand-alone environmental protection laws. We will work with all countries towards a common goal.
