Tony Blair has called for a "global environment revolution"

The former prime minister has been joining international experts on climate change in a bid to drive forward efforts to reduce global carbon emissions.

Mr Blair said: "We have reached the critical moment of decision on climate change. There are few if any, genuine doubters left.

"Even on the mildest application of the precautionary principles, failure to act on climate change now would be deeply and unforgivably irresponsible."

Ottawa wants to do 'better job' on environment

The report, released Thursday by environment commissioner Ron Thompson, gave the government an "unsatisfactory" grade in nine of 14 areas, including protection of endangered species, Great Lakes cleanup, control of invasive species such as zebra mussels and just keeping its own operations green.

Progress has been made in assessing dangerous chemicals, managing pesticide safety and cleaning up contaminated sites, he said.

While the report examines the actions of past governments, much of it examines action taken since 2004-2005.

Make environment safer for children

Children should have a right to develop in an environment that allows them to reach their full potential. As adults, we have an ethical responsibility to provide a healthy and safe environment for our children. Yet somehow, we haven't been able to provide that safe environment.

Children do not get to choose that a toy is made with lead or cadmium. Toxic metals are permitted in plates, coffee mugs and cookware. Harmful chemicals and toxins are added to plastics that babies are exposed to.
