Take action this Earth Day: Local climate champions you can support

Earth Day is a powerful reminder that the climate crisis isn’t a distant threat—it’s here and it’s happening now. But alongside the urgency, there’s action. Local organizations are on the front lines, creating lasting change through climate education, food justice and low-carbon solutions that are reshaping how we live in our city. This Earth Day, let’s support the planet—and the organizations working every day to protect it. 

And stay tuned: We are excited to share that Toronto Foundation is partnering with Evergreen, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority to re-imagine Toronto’s ravines – our great green corridor and the largest urban ravine system in the world. You can learn more about the project here. More to come this fall. 

Here are some of the organizations you can support this Earth Day:
