Waste ReductionTEA works to create a waste free future for Toronto. Reducing, reusing, recycling and composting our waste uses fewer natural resources, generates less greenhouse gas emissions, and creates good green jobs.
Waste is a growing problem - it is increasingly complicated, disposable and toxic.
TEA connects with communities, other environmental groups and businesses to push for policies and programs that help us to deal with our waste in a way that is safe for the environment and our health.
-
We advocate for good policy that makes companies take full responsibility for the products and packaging they design and sell.
-
TEA advocates at City Hall for effective programs so that all residents and communities have waste diversion services, like green bins.
- TEA promotes Zero Waste - that waste is a resource, not something to be disposed of in incinerators or landfills. TEA opposes waste and sewage incinerators that create air and water pollution, and slow efforts to reduce or recycle waste.
