The International Seabed Authority (ISA), working with countries around the world, is developing regulations for deep sea mining to prevent destruction of ecosystems. @TheMetalsCo wants mining without any regulations. #StopDeepSeaMining @AIClimateJustice @ISBAHQ

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

@TheMetalsCo says the US can “reclaim its leadership role in the deep sea and set a global standard for responsible, science-based deep-seabed resource development.” Interpretation: “We will ignore science and destroy ecosystems to make lots of money”. #StopDeepSeaMining

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

@TheMetalsCo wants to start deep sea mining when most countries are calling for a moratorium on this practice. Whose side are you on - the side of science, protection of underwater ecosystems and international agreement - or the side of sea life destruction? #StopDeepSeaMining

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

US Govt “Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources” will allow companies like @TheMetalsCo to profit from deep sea mining, destroying sea life and environments that the world does not understand. Why would we do this? #StopDeepSeaMining @AIClimateJustice

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

The Metals Company is a Canadian company planning deep sea mining projects. Much of the world wants to ban deep sea mining. Amnesty International supports The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition working to protect the ecosystems in the ocean depths. @TheMetalsCo @DeepSeaConserve

Deep Sea Mining is a disaster waiting to happen. It will destroy ecosystems before we even understand them. Stop The Metals Company from moving forward with this destructive and inefficient mining. Stop deep sea mining now! #StopDeepSeaMining #DefendTheDeep @TheMetalsCo

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Scientists warn that deep-sea mining would cause permanent loss of biodiversity in the deep sea. We cannot allow a Canadian company, The Metals Company, to undertake this mining in the seabed of our world. Stop deep sea mining now! #StopDeepSeaMining @TheMetalsCo

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Deep Sea Mining for source metals will result in one of the largest environmental impacts of any industrial activity on our planet. DSM is not necessary, desirable, or economically viable. Stop The Metals Company from pursuing this environmental disaster. #StopDeepSeaMining

Gas flares risking lives in the Ecuadorian Amazon. 50+ gas flares are located within 5 km of populated areas. Ecuador must stop sacrificing its population! #RemoveTheWick. @AmnestyCanada https://t.co/GRZvxQ3Jhg

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Gas flares generate 500 million tons of CO2 per year. Gas flares are like the wick of the climate time bomb! #RemoveTheWick. Demand Ecuador eliminate gas flares that threaten the Amazon: https://t.co/GRZvxQ3Jhg

Plastic is killing wildlife, harming our health and fueling the climate crisis. Plastic production is expteced to triple by 2050. World leaders need to step up and finalize a strong, meaningful Plastics Treaty. @Amnesty @ClimateJustice https://t.co/zpOcukyx39

Tell the media to ban ads promoting fossil fuels @CBCCanada @globeandmail @TorontoStar. #greenwashing #amnesty

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Tell the federal government’s Competition Bureau you want regulations changed so the fossil fuel industry can’t put out false advertising @CompBureau #greenwashing #amnesty

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Fossil fuel companies spend millions on PR+Ad campaigns to disguise their pollution and harm done to communities. PR companies working with the fossil fuel industry are part of the problem. Take action @HipHopCaucus: https://t.co/PP6afzUaDq #greenwashing #amnesty

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

Canada’s largest media outlets are failing us on climate. Postmedia owns 15 of our 22 daily newspapers. Their Board is allied with Big Oil. They have interest in supporting fossil fuels and climate skepticism. Take action @Leadnowca: https://t.co/z5x1SE9DAE #greenwashing #amnesty

[Amnesty Toronto @AmnestyToronto]

We need a climate movement powerful enough to cut through even the slickest fossil fuel PR campaigns. @350Canada is building a people-powered campaign for a Just Transition. See: https://t.co/3DJw72b5RU #greenwashing #amnesty
