“ I, a concerned citizen, worried about the destructive and polluting nature of toxic greenhouse gases, demand that they be classified as pollutants.

I implore my government to classify them as such, empowering it to take action against their emission and take a leading global role in encouraging other countries to follow suit. “

We all know that greenhouse gasses pollute our planet. So why aren’t they regulated as pollutants? What we call things matter. And we should call toxic greenhouse gases, such as CO2 and methane, what they really are: climate change pollutants causing mass destruction, affecting both ecological systems and the livelihood of people around the globe.

This linguistic change is crucial, as it can have far-reaching impact and prompt drastic systemic change. A legally-binding classification of these gases will push governments to drastically alter legislation, enforcing a stricter regulation on both public sector and corporate emissions.

Citizens around the globe has been pivotal in pushing for urgency: changing the narrative from climate change to climate crisis added important pressure. Your voice matters. Our collective voice matter. The engagement and visible commitment from people around the world is crucial for attracting the attention of governments. 

Sign and share this petition. Addressing greenhouse gases as greenhouse pollutants, is essential for systemic change.
