<br>
This week, Toronto City Council resisted cuts to programs that conserve energy and address climate change. After months of hard work, over 80% of Councillors voted for a new program that could dramatically increase energy retrofits for buildings across Toronto. They also funded Forestry programs to address the Emerald Ash Borer crisis facing our tree canopy. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://torontoenvironment.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=239fcde060248dde5946f406e&id=4c5149bf9b&e=29f28d3325" style="color:#3a8d18;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:normal;">Read more on our website.</a><br>
