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.

New rules to ban or put fees on harmful single-use plastics could be coming to Toronto within the next year.

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about our recycling system since China, the world’s biggest recycling market, has stopped accepting more plastics. This decision has a huge impact on recycling systems around the world - including here in Ontario-  and it highlights the problems that arise from not holding producers responsible for the packaging they create.

On a cold January evening, TEA and ClimateFast hosted over 50 people from every district in the city to learn how to advocate on the City Budget process. Together, we’re working to ensure Toronto invests in the TransformTO climate plan!

The staff and board of 430 Mayfair on the Green were the recipients of TEA's first-ever Greener City for All Award.

We are thrilled to announce a new three-year project that will help Toronto’s high-rise buildings reach their zero waste goals.
