TEA and our allies sent a letter to the Ontario Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks asking for answers about the Etobicoke chemical spill.

The Canadian government has outlined a plan to make major grocery retailers cut down on the plastic packaging filling store shelves, and offer more groceries in bulk and refillable containers.

This is a big step towards eliminating plastics and single-use packaging.

As a fellow resident of St. James Town, I intimately understood the challenges and discomfort associated with heatwaves.

Less than half of non-alcoholic drink containers in Ontario are collected and recycled in the blue box. This is simply not good enough. Better deposit-return systems could be the solution we need to keep these containers out of landfills.

For the last 8 weeks, TEA’s summer hires, along with the interns at U of T Trash Team and Green Neighbours Network, set out across various neighbourhoods in Toronto to survey restaurants and cafes about their efforts, challenges & understanding of single-use waste reduction.

City Council has voted to ban some of the dirtiest engines on Earth. Now City Staff will put together a plan.

We need to retrofit buildings across Toronto. But far too often, retrofits have been used to justify evictions and steep rental increases. That needs to change.

This month marks a big change in how recycling works in Toronto - though most Torontonians won’t notice a thing.

What will it mean for Toronto to have Olivia Chow as our new Mayor? Since her victory on June 26th, there has naturally been a lot of discussion centered on this question.

Toronto keeps trying to burn its garbage, but TEA, along with our allies, keep coming together to prevent that from happening. This is a toxic, unnecessary and reckless move which can be prevented with stronger action to reduce the amount of waste we produce in Toronto.

Extreme heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change, along with other impacts like escalating storms, floods, and wildfire smoke. In cities like Toronto, heat waves are intensified by pavement and tall buildings which trap heat.

For immediate release.

June 26, 2023 

The 2023 Mayoral election is heating up. As you get ready to vote on the June 26th election day (or the advance polls from June 8-13), new platform ideas are coming out from candidates every day.

The May City Council meeting was jam packed with climate and environmental items. Here’s a rundown on what happened.

Toronto's mayoral election is an opportunity to advance and accelerate environmental action. We’re looking for Toronto’s next Mayor to bring new energy and ideas to Toronto at a critical window for equitable environmental and climate action. 

As of today Monday March 27, 2023, TEA’s new office will be located at:

Toronto Environmental Alliance
Centre for Social Innovation
192 Spadina Ave.
Unit #212
Toronto, ON
M5T 2C2

TEA and TTCriders have gotten City Hall to move forward on a new funding source for transit.

On Tuesday, January 10, the 2023 city budget was released, which lays out the year’s spending on everything from bike lanes to sewers. While this budget is bigger than ever before, it’s missing vital support to meet the growing climate, affordability, housing, transit, food security, and other big challenges that we face today.
