Fossil fuel prices are increasing, clean energy costs are plummeting. Yet Ontario is procuring 1,500 MW of new natural gas plants? No one wants these polluting plants, and they will surely be scrapped. But it's not too late to change course: taf.ca/ontarios-next-gas-pla… #ONpoli

City of #Vaughan's proposed design standards for new buildings is great for birds, but not so for the climate. Bird-friendly glazing on all buildings, but no mandatory #energyefficiency? City council should not let this fly. Vote is next week, take action: taf.ca/green-development-sta…

The next Ontario Government will be in power for half the time we have left to slash #climate-damaging emissions by 50%. Make an informed choice.

Reaching Ontario's 2030 climate target depends on the next government taking strong action on buildings, transportation, and energy. Look for these key priorities in the party platforms before you head to the polls June 2. #onpoli #OntarioElection2022 taf.ca/ontario-election-2022…
Gas prices and emissions from vehicles are rising, and #Toronto residents are making the switch to #EVs. But what if you don't have a garage or driveway to plug in? Take this 2-minute survey to show Toronto City Council we need a reliable charging network: taf.ca/toronto-ev-charging-s…
You can't make this stuff up.
As reported in today’s @globeandmail, ... we now know that the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) fully understood that its report on the feasibility of a gas-fired power phase-out was highly misleading and skewed to present a frightening worst-case scenario.
