Green 13 brings together residents of the west side of Ward 4 (former Ward 13) in Toronto. We are concerned about the impact humans are having on our climate and environment, and are therefore working together for a sustainable future.
Green 13 incorporated under the name “Green 13 Environmental Group (Toronto)”, with the following purposes:
- to increase public awareness about climate change and other environmental concerns
- to encourage public discourse on sustainability
- to advocate for policy and behavioural change in relation to climate and environmental issues
- to collaborate with others to develop and/or implement programs to reduce our community’s ecological footprint
- to build resilience in our community
Our projects have included: piloting residential carbon-footprinting, promoting energy efficiency, envisioning Junction Geo project (district geoexchange network); urban forest (Junction Adopt-a-Street-Tree, Tree-for-Me, Save Our Ash…); building an extreme weather preparedness network… We have organized many events with environmental topics (Earth Hour walks, monthly screenings/talks, workshops, panels, debates and more).
