TEA has written an open letter to Toronto's Budget Committee urging them to support our Polluter Pays motion so that companies who send polluted water down the sewers finally pay the full cost of cleaning it up. Why should ratepayers like us pay for their $1.6 Million discount each year?

At a Council Meeting last week, Councillors approved the next phase of the Long Term Waste Management Strategy development. Several Councillors used TEA’s materials and messages to call for reducing and recycling more waste.

This week, Councillors are voting on the framework and options consultants will use to draft a long term waste strategy for Toronto. The strategy will come to the public in early 2016.

Last Thursday’s close Council vote on the east Gardiner’s future was disappointing. There is one silver lining to this bad decision: Mayor Tory and the 23 Councillors who voted with him were not afraid to invest in public infrastructure.

The City wants to hear from you on the Long Term Waste Plan this summer via an online survey that will close on July 24. You don't have to be an expert, and your opinion matters!

Next week Toronto City Council decides what to do with the Gardiner Expressway. You can help shape the outcome.

The future of Toronto’s entire waste management system is being decided over the next 12 months.

Community groups across Toronto are a great inspiration for showing what we can achieve by working together to create a Waste Free Toronto

What should guide Toronto's waste management over the long term? Local green jobs? Health and social equity? The City wants your opinion.
