Toronto Environmental Alliance

Description

Toronto Environmental Alliance is a Canadian non-profit environmental organization that campaigns on Toronto’s urban environmental problems.

It was formed in 1988 and began its local campaigning in 1989. It acts as an environmental watchdog at Toronto City Hall, advocating on behalf of residents for a green, healthy and equitable city. It works with concerned individuals, community groups, professionals and workers, encouraging local people to take part in local issues.

The organization focuses on five main areas: smog, global warming and energy, public transit, toxics, waste reduction and the Greenbelt. It publishes reports on these subjects, covering topics such as waste diversion, city council environmental performance and gravel extraction in the Greater Toronto Area. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors and relies on public donations and supporters to fund its work.

The organization operates in Toronto, Ontario, and describes itself as a not-for-profit that has campaigned locally for over three decades.
