Amazing news to hear that there are cities out there that are taking ACTIVE actions to change the way our day-to-day lives work! Congratulations Montreal on taking a firm and progressive step towards ending plastics use. Lets see more of this! #HTM402
Montreal to ban all plastic shopping bags this year, Mayor Valérie Plante says. Lightweight bags were banned in 2016, but most retailers switched to thicker ones instead. https://t.co/KfLjHlway2
#HTM402 had a guest speaker two weeks ago that spoke about his experience working at PepsiCo. I wonder, does morality and ethics play a part in the field of work we will go in to? We learn about sustainability in #HTM402, plastics are NOT sustainable! #plasticpollution
Coca Cola produces 3 million tonnes of plastic packaging a year – equivalent to 200,000 bottles a minute. They say they can't change because customers wouldn't like it.
Send coke a message. End #plasticpollution.

Regentrification is all over, glass skyscrapers changing the skyline of Toronto. To hold our population we go upwards, but we need to preserve the past. Height restrictions are needed, preservation is a must so that we can keep the beautiful Toronto architecture! #HTM402
On Queen St. West, the City of Toronto is restricting the height of buildings to six storeys by turning the section from Bathurst St. to Roncesvalles Ave. into a heritage conservation district.
What do you think?

Ms. Thunberg is truly an inspiration for all generations! She demands us to look up once in a while and appreciate and preserve the wonderful environment we live in. Climate change is real, sustainability is possible. I ask, where can we go from here in our travels? #HTM402
Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg nominated for 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. Thunberg founded student-driven movement demanding faster action on climate change. https://t.co/srXEqSNI4l
Had an eventful weekend at the #RHTC2020 hearing from a variety of industry professionals and getting the chance to network with them! It was an informative and exciting event. Happy to have been encouraged to attend by #HTM402
As someone who is interested in the cruising industry, this article really spoke to the truths about the floating megastructures. I hope that one day we can find a sustainable solution, so that we can both preserve ecosystems and help save the oceans! #HTM402
A fun read for cruisers and others: Cruise Ship Pollution: Why the cities of the sea must be silenced! @HTMRyerson #HTM402 @SustTourism @TTRATweets #Impactnational https://t.co/JrQpjMtYbl
Seasonal tourism is real! Toronto can face serious repercussions due to their extreme winter weather. As the impact of climate change continues to show, Toronto as a large VFR destination can find a lower influx of tourists in the winter season #HTM402.
Interesting to see the impacts Coronavirus has had on different sectors of the way we live and travel. Suspending tourism activities effects the industry's companies, but how can we support this? #HTM402 spoke about 'putting your eggs in different baskets'.
China will suspend all tourism activities, including international tours, starting on Jan 27th. The domestic tourism activities are suspended from Jan 24th.
As we discuss with #HTM402 students the importance of company beliefs and values in setting strategies, it is good to remember Isadore Sharp’s words...
Terrible news about Venice floods, puts everything into perspective. With the overcrowding of tourism, can we continue traveling to places that may not be able to handle us? Can we market sustainably to ensure we don't harm these cities #HTM402
Interesting to learn and share about our common responsibilities when it comes to #flightshame. A continuous conversation that touches upon our awareness for our carbon footprint, travel habits, and social awareness when travelling. #HTM402
