Plastic Pollution Removal: Restore Toronto's Urban Forests & Ravines
Help us remove 1 tonne (2,205 lb) of plastic pollution while protecting biodiversity and restoring natural ecosystems for future generations.
Join the Movement. Restore Nature. Create Lasting Impact.
Toronto’s urban forests provide critical habitat for wildlife, cleaner air, healthier communities, and beautiful green spaces for everyone. Unfortunately, plastic pollution continues to threaten these natural ecosystems.
Together, we’re working toward an ambitious goal:
♻️ Remove 1 Tonne (2,205 lb) of Plastic Waste from Toronto’s Urban Forests
Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we’ve already removed:
✅ 601 lb Collected
🎯 Target: 2,205 lb (1 Tonne)
Every bottle, bag, wrapper, and piece of litter removed helps protect wildlife, improve ecosystem health, and keep Toronto’s forests thriving for future generations.
