Last week TEA spoke up again about greenwashing & false claims in the City’s materials that make #incineration, a toxic #climatedisaster, sound like “clean energy”. Evidence shows the opposite. Councillors listened with Councillor Morley requesting a review of how this happened. ⬇️

This new report shows we're moving in the wrong direction. The changes we are seeing are scary but we have solutions to this health and climate crisis and together we can make it happen. Follow us and join our work! CBC's article: www.cbc.ca/news/science...

With allies we're getting the message to the ON government: Heat is deadly and growing worse because of #climatechange We have solutions to protect the health of seniors, children, workers, tenants, unhoused people & others at an increased risk loom.ly/KGSSO-o @cape-acme.bsky.social‬ ‪@cpche.ca‬

I’m at the Ontario Legislative building right now supporting a province-wide coalition calling on a series of measures to provide cooling in indoor spaces. While we cut emissions from sources like oil and gas, we need to protect everyone from extreme weather.

Summer should be a time to enjoy being outside, not feel anxiety & isolation under smoky skies. It's ok to feel like this isn't normal. These #wildfires are fueled by tinder dry forests from a warming planet. To fight them, we must stop burning climate-heating fossil fuels. But you're not alone!

TEA had a great time at the Coldplay show! Thank you to @livenation and @coldplay for inviting us. We loved seeing the tour sustainability initiatives, especially reusable cups! Way to show Toronto what's possible at large events (like the FIFA World Cup 26™ coming next year)! #reusableTO

You spoke up demanding bus and streetcar lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin, and yesterday, Council heard you! There's more work ahead, but this is an important step forward in moving more people faster and accelerating climate action. https://loom.ly/ame8Tu4

If you are one of the 75,000 people who take the TTC on Dufferin & Bathurst every day, you know this view: stuck in traffic. We urge Council to support these vital transit lanes today including plans from @MayorOliviaChow & @BravoDavenport to get moving on lanes north of Bloor.

Did you know that more people take the bus on Dufferin than any other method of transportation? Speak up today to get Council to vote for special bus lanes and get more people moving! Send a letter to your councillor: https://www.ttcriders.ca/lanes #rapidto #transitriders #dufferin #bathurst

Council votes Wednesday on these important bus and streetcar lanes,. Make sure to have your voice heard before then! Send a letter to your councillor: https://loom.ly/Qm056pU

It's #PlasticFreeJuly! Did you know that the Evergreen Brick Works has a reusable dishes at their farmer's market? They started in 2023 and have expanded to include other events, in 2024 they avoided 147,794 single-use items! Read our case study all about it: https://loom.ly/BHIkm8A#PlasticFreeJuly

Mayor Chow's Executive Committee just approved the first steps in the #RapidTO surface transit network. Now we need to make sure that City Council passes the dedicated lanes on Bathurst & Dufferin. Everyone deserves reliable transit! Reach out to your Councillor: https://www.ttcriders.ca/lanes#RapidTO

Toronto needs more dedicated transit lanes to move more people. Toronto Region Board of Trade just endorsed both Bathurst & Dufferin #RapidTO lanes up to Eglinton. Their message? These lanes are good for business because they are proven to reduce congestion. We need these lanes! #topoli

Check out TEA's Sarah Buchanan on CBC talking about the City's pilot program providing ACs to seniors: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Did you or someone you know participate in this program? We want to hear about it! Tag/DM us or use the contact form on our website! ➡️ www.torontoenvironment.org/contact

“These transit lanes are a win-win," says @HowSenChong from TEA. "They will move more people quickly to where they need to go, and help Toronto cut pollution and make important progress towards its climate goals." #topoli

TTC service on Dufferin and Bathurst consistently ranks among the slowest in the city. We are speaking up today with @ttcriders.bsky.social‬ asking City Council to speed up the Dufferin bus & Bathurst streetcar/bus with priority lanes up to Eglinton. https://loom.ly/7jnxZmY

TEA is here with our friends @ttcriders.bsky.social‬ calling for the City to implement bus & streetcar priority lanes on Dufferin & Bathurst all the way to Eglinton as designed! Here's why: - Good for our climate - Life-changing for riders packed into slow buses & streetcars on these busy routes!

Got waste questions? Just ask our waste expert this afternoon at 5pm on CBC radio in Toronto! TEA's Emily Alfred, will be answering questions on CBC's Just Asking! www.cbc.ca/radio/just-a...

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride, Toronto! 2024 celebrations used reusable cups keeping 27,645 single-use items out of landfill! 🌍🙌 The cups were back in 2025! With #FIFAWorldCup26 coming to Toronto & Vancouver, we’re sharing real-world wins like this. 📚 Case study ➡️ https://loom.ly/9wJX6JI

Congrats to @mayoroliviachow.ca & @alejandrabravo.bsky.social on sparking an overhaul of TO's Heat Relief Strategy, including checking on vulnerable populations, funding more water, & considering return of 24/7 cooling centres. Long overdue & needed! Agenda item: secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Join us in 10 minutes! loom.ly/_Xqk41Q ⬅️

Join us online tomorrow from 12-1PM to discuss why the incineration industry’s GHG math doesn’t add up: https://loom.ly/mB3jrZ4 New report: Ontario’s grid emits 30–67 g CO₂e/kWh. ON's newest incinerator emits 778 g CO₂e/kWh. 'Green' energy? The numbers say otherwise. #ClimateAction #GHG

We're happy to see the City's heat relief strategy getting a rethink, & hopefully stronger measures to protect Torontonians from heatwaves like this one. Protecting peoples means planning for a much hotter future. #topoli

In 1 year the #FIFAWorldCup is coming to Toronto! We are excited to launch our new report that shows adopting #reuse at stadiums & events could avoid more than 1 million cups over the course of the tournament. Here's our full report: https://loom.ly/v7QAGZg but stay tuned for more of our findings!

Here's the livestream for those of you who can't be there in person! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBVU... You can still speak up for #zerowaste

Happening NOW! Join us at the City's Long Term Waste Strategy Open House to speak up for zero waste and against incineration. Have your say about our garbage! We'll tell you why this is so important in our blog: loom.ly/_Xqk41Q It includes the registration link and more info! #TOpoli

Have your say about what to do with our garbage! The City of Toronto has a survey open to June 29, unfortunately 1 option is 'energy from waste' incineration (burning garbage), a false solution. Let us tell you why ⬇️ Here's our guide with the survey link: https://loom.ly/_Xqk41Q

Bill 17 will be voted on today, NOW is our last chance to raise our voices. Help us tell #dougford: -We DON'T want more money for developers -We DO support the rights of municipalities across ON to determine what is best for them when building a climate safe future ⬇️https://loom.ly/XFMinrc

Premier Ford is fast-tracking another gift for developers: Bill 17. He's pushing it through so fast it won't even go to committee to be discussed. Time is running out. We've broken down what this means for Ontario and how we can stop it: torontoenvironment.org/premier_ford... #ONpoli

The City is asking our input on managing our garbage but it's also looking at false solutions, like burning garbage, also called ‘energy from waste’. This will send Toronto backwards on climate action, zero waste goals, and put human health at risk: torontoenvironment.org/input_on_man... #TOpoli

#dougford wants to speed through a bill that puts developers before our climate safety. We need to be louder. Tell your MPP: Say NO to Bill 17. More money for developers does nothing for the extreme heat & flooding we're going to see more of this summer and beyond ⬇️ loom.ly/m8rJZVA

There's a disturbing trend in #Ontario: developers are trying to gut green building standards so they can make more profit and leave homeowners and tenants on the hook with higher energy bills. Please tell you MPP this is not okay, speak up for Ontario: www.torontoenvironment.org/climate-safe...

#DougFord has just released Bill 17, which could gut every local community’s ability to ensure that new homes are protected from local weather extremes like flooding. Use our tool to tell your MPP to stop Bill 17: loom.ly/m8rJZVA

The City needs to hear from you! The last consultation for the Dufferin Street transit-only lane is happening now! Can't make it? You can still fill out the survey online until May 26, find out more information and the survey link here: www.ttcriders.ca/lanes

The last consultation for a transit only lane for the Bathurst bus/streetcar is happening now! 4:30-8:30 (drop in anytime) Homewood Community School 15 Cherrywood Ave, Gymnasium Can't make it? Find out more and a link to take the City's survey here: www.ttcriders.ca/lanes (correct link this time!)

The Ontario government introduced a new bill today to gut green building standards and many other important municipal planning tools. This will be catastrophic for Toronto’s climate progress. See our statement here: loom.ly/dzlRjd4

Do you ride the bus or streetcar on Dufferin or Bathurst? The City needs to hear from you! The City is looking to implement transit-only lanes on Dufferin & Bathurst south of Eglinton! Join the public consultations happening until May 20 @ttcriders.bsky.social has more info tcriders.ca/lanes

Alongside 20 environmental groups, TEA sent a letter today calling on Toronto City Council to uphold our Charter-protected freedom of assembly, and vote against any bylaws that restrict this freedom. We firmly oppose any kind of protest ban in Toronto: www.torontoenvironment.org/letter_peace...

It is so disappointing to see the Province is intent on expanding a mega incinerator in Brampton. We should be reducing waste, not burning it. We'll continue to sound the alarm about this climate disaster, to fight against toxic incineration AND any intentions to send Toronto’s garbage there!

TEA is officially on BlueSky! Happy #EarthDay! Millions across the planet continue the legacy of work to make our home a better place for all. If you’re looking for inspiration, read this from our Executive Director, Emmay Mah, and see our vision of a greener and more equitable future for Toronto.
