It is urgent that we protect the health of children and the environment by preventing the installation of #artificialturf in Toronto and beyond #NoToxicTurf

Bill 23 attacks wetland protections, Conservation Authorities, green building standards & more!

I signed this @envirodefence petition demanding a real housing bill instead of a Wetland Destruction Act!

@climate Artificial turf requires lots of water & chemicals to clean the snot, spit, bird/dog crap & other grossness that remains on its impermeable surface - unnatural grass which is permeable!

It may be decriminalized but there are many barriers to abortion care in Canada. Add your name to the open letter calling on @JustinTrudeau and @jyduclos to expand access to abortion care for everyone. #RoeVWade #CdnPoli https://t.co/xLdeam0T4X via @leadnowca

With Roe v. Wade overturned, the Canadian public needs to know where @CPC_HQ stands on abortion rights. Add your name to urge them to respond. #CdnPoli #RoeVWade https://t.co/tGc0ckt3CC via @leadnowca

@TPSOperations @TrafficServices I don’t know if this is useful information, but we drove past that intersection shortly before the terrible accident and noticed a woman in a wheelchair crossing Dundas deliberately and illegally, a bit west of Sherbourne. We slowed down and waited for her to reach the sidewalk.

FIFA report showing that 3G rubber crumb artificial football pitches cause marine pollution and harm our environment

Eunomia measure for an EU-wide ban was rejected

Why is this being ignored by our government?

Think about the future, do something NOW!

Why are we polluting our beautiful country by covering so much of it in rubber crumb?

Our oceans too: FIFA Report shows they know this pollutes our world.

BPA banned in some things, but there are tonnes of it in 3G artificial football pitches

Where do you think children are more greatly exposed to this? When playing on 3G rubber crumb pitches, of course.

We need to keep our children safe by banning children from playing on 3G. https://t.co/l3F71z1KIy

RUBBER CRUMB ACCOUNTS FOR 72,000 TONNES OF POLLUTION ANNUALLY.

THIS IS HARMFUL TO HUMAN HEALTH AND OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR OCEANS.

WE REALLY NEED TO BAN RUBBER CRUMB NOW. https://t.co/JGyEbmWcx5

#ToxicRecycling: Recycled rubber used in #artificialturf contains toxic #PAH, #cadmium, #lead & other substances. "The analysis of rain water collected directly from the football field, showed the presence of a high number of the target compounds" https://t.co/XTPbFixXK0

@BlueJays please just get rid of this artificial turf. Its starting to look bad. It isn't helping player health....it's time.
