Since 1988 TEA has been campaigning locally to find solutions to Toronto's urban environmental problems.

Our Mission is to promote a greener Toronto. We work with concerned individuals, community groups, professionals and workers, encouraging the participation of local people on local issues.

Our Vision of a healthy community is based on equity, access, safety and a clean environment.

We've accomplished lots in 20 years. And we've also had lots of praise.

TEA focuses on five major campaign areas, where we undertake research, education and action on Smog and Climate Change, Public Transit, Toxics and Urban Pesticides, Waste Reduction and Greenbelting Toronto. Because Toronto is a critical centre for environmental change in Canada what we do here can help shape what happens elsewhere.

We have a membership base of 5,000 individuals that donate every year. These unrestricted public donations allow us to pursue our core mandate to promote a greener Toronto enabling us to spend time talking to City Councillors and engage residents in public policy debates.

TEA would like to acknowledge the support of The Ontario Trillium Foundation.
