Eco Tip from LUC Green Team for Global Wellness

The recent report from the UN on climate change is telling us we must make significant changes now in order to save our planet. Voting “green” is one important action we can take towards environmental well-being. Before you vote in the municipal election on Monday, find out where the candidates stand on important environmental issues. Do they support the creation of bike lanes, pedestrian-friendly streets, and significant improvements to public transit access throughout the entire region? Do they support development that creates affordable housing for families close to where they work? Do they support venues that allow local farmers to sell produce directly to the consumer, reducing food miles and supporting the local rural economy? Do they have the courage to raise taxes, if necessary, to ensure that our region is part of the climate change solution? Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) is ranking Candidates on their policies and identifying the greenest one. Please consider these factors and please take the time to vote.
