CouncilWatch - Council lobbied by industry, votes against the environment
November 30, 2012
Council lobbied by industry, votes against the environment Bag Ban By-law rejected Combined with the elimination of the plastic bag fee in June 2012, Toronto has taken some major steps backwards for the environment. See media coverage of the issue in TEA's News Room. The good news is that Council will discuss ways to reduce plastic bag use again in June 2013. Hopefully this is a time for considered discussion about what is good for the environment and for Toronto. 2013 Waste & Water Budgets Waste budget limits future capital investment

Toronto Capital & Operating Budget 2013
In the coming weeks, Council will be faced with more important environmental decisions as they vote on the tax-supported budget for all other city functions. Read more about the budget process on our website. TEA will continue to research the issues, talk with the media, and meet with Councillors to ensure the environment is on the agenda at City Hall. We'll do our best to continue fighting the influence of powerful industry lobbyists who are working against building a greener city for all. Get Involved! Become a TEA member!
