Toronto Environmental Alliance projects
Feb. 09, 2023 12:30 p.m.
Emily Alfred is the Waste Campaigner for the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA), a non-profit organization that has been working to build a greener city for all for over thirty years. Emily works with communities, researchers, businesses and elected officials to research, implement and advocate for zero waste programs and policies at the municipal and provincial level. This includes working with resident and staff teams in high-rise buildings, and convening the Reusable Toronto initiative to advocate for a shift from single-use foodware to reusable alternatives. Taking action on waste as a community to meet our climate goals
Learn about the current state of waste in our city and how it ties into Toronto's climate goals: from high-rise buildings, to organics, to moving beyond single-use plastics. We'll also talk about what you can do, and what we can do as a community. |

Our “5th Thursday” dinner social meeting will be held Thursday, March 30. This month’s theme has switched (temporarily) from Persian to Italian. We have made a group booking at: 42 Main St. N. Markham, ON L3P 1X5 This is a quality, family-run Italian restaurant, now in its second generation. To whet your appetite, here is a link to their latest flyer: The restaurant is located in an old house, a short distance north of Highway 7 on the west side of Main Street (Highway 48) in Markham. There is limited parking behind the restaurant (accessed by a laneway immediately north of it) or on the street but more extensive parking a three minute walk further north on Main Street. The restaurant cannot provide a separate room but will try to seat any reasonable number of us together. To that end, please email me (lyonrex@rogers.com) your intention to attend by next Monday including any guests. The cost will be individual based on whatever you choose to order. Please try to arrive between 6 and 6:30 PM. Hope to see you there, Bill. |
