Sign the petition to stop fossil fuel advertising

There’s no sugarcoating it: fossil fuel advertising is making us sick.

Fossil fuel air pollution causes up to 34,000 premature deaths in Canada each year. And just like the tobacco industry, fossil fuel companies are still lying to us about the known health and environmental hazards of their products.

Case in point? Gas companies advertising that ‘natural gas’ is a clean fuel, while not telling their customers that children living in homes with gas stoves have up to a 42% increased risk of asthma (that’s comparable to living with a smoker).

It’s high time we take action to stop the misinformation and greenwashing in fossil fuel advertising: the health of our communities and our planet depends on it.

Join over half a million Canadian health professionals and sign the petition to stop fossil fuel advertising, just like the government did with tobacco.

I stand with over 700,000 health professionals calling for limits on the advertising of fossil fuel products and industries.

We call for:
-A comprehensive ban on advertising by fossil fuel industries, products, and services (such as gasoline and gas utilities) and internal combustion engine vehicles.
-A robust regulatory response to address misleading environmental claims by fossil fuel companies.
-Regulations mandating the disclosure of the health and environmental risks associated with fossil fuel production and use.
