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.

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.
