The Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) is excited to announce our new Executive Director, Emmay Mah.

On December 4th, the Toronto Environmental Alliance announced the recipient of the second annual Greener City for All Award - an award to recognize and celebrate our allies in the movement for a greener, more sustainable and more equitable Toronto.

“While the government calls this a Made-In-Ontario Environment Plan, we see it more as a 'Not-Our-Problem' climate plan," said TEA's Climate Change Campaigner Dusha Sritharan.

And this is what we heard back.

TEA was one of the few environmental groups accepted to appear before the Standing Committee on General Government to address concerns about Bill 4. The Bill would dismantle the cap and trade program and repeal Ontario Climate Change Action Plan. The committee also soliciting ideas and insights to help inform the development of a new climate action plan.

As part of our work to put environmental issues on the agenda in the 2018 municipal election, we’ve compiled some election basics and environment-focused questions you can ask your local candidates.

Premier Doug Ford announced his government would slash the size of Toronto City Council from 47 Councillors to 25. While the Province has the legal right to do this, this proposed move is nothing less than an attack on local democracy, civic engagement in Toronto and a healthy environment.

TEA’s Zero Waste High-Rise project is well underway with 6 buildings from across Toronto rolling up their sleeves to tackle waste and climate change.

Toronto just passed a resolution to the Federal government asking for a national strategy on plastics. A national strategy on plastics could create a uniform approach for all provinces and cities, setting national targets and standards, and holding the multi-national companies that create plastics responsible for the environmental impacts.
