Some leading events in Toronto are already switching to reusable cups and dishes instead of single-use to cut waste. So what can we do to get ALL events to go waste free? Join Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA) as we share results from our new report “Kicking Off with Reusables” – about what impact reuse can have to cut waste (a lot), whether Canada’s reuse sector is ready (it is), and key factors for success when adopting reuse at events. We’ll share some of our key findings, and some great case studies of Canadian leaders already showing that reuse works. We’ll also talk about how policy is propelling reuse in other jurisdictions, and look at what Toronto is already doing to support a shift, and where it should go next.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/fgbh1DJIQ2GSi2dCANF2WQ#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/fgbh1DJIQ2GSi2dCANF2WQ#/registration</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>The People's MOU National Day of Action<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Thur.

What is lesser known is that Daniel, at the tender age of 27, had one of highest level security clearances in government as a top nuclear consultant and strategic analyst to the Rand corporation, the Pentagon and the White House. And then later went on to be one of the most vociferous voices decrying the insanity of planning for a war that would effectively end civilization as we know it. Now, 3 years after his tragic passing from pancreatic cancer, his son, Michael Ellsberg, in conjunction with Jan Thomas, one of Daniel's earliest assistants, have collected and curated a volume of never-before published personal and professional musings, notes and warnings that give deep tremendous insight into the thoughts behind this brilliant mind.

June 26, 3 p.m. ET<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>From the mid-1980s to 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev initiated the time of Perestroika (“reordering”) and Glasnost (“transparency”) in the Soviet Bloc. During this era, there was a new openness to Western ideas and influences, including a greater freedom for young people to hear popular music. Musicians like Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen moved behind the Iron Curtain for concerts. A fresh shift to a more empathetic and curious view of the Russian people in songs like Joel’s “Leningrad” overshadowed some of the fearful attitudes in songs from earlier periods. Other songs like Sting’s “They Dance Alone” drew attention to the global effects of the Cold War in nations like Chile experiencing proxy conflicts. In this discussion, Joanna Smolko will talk about individual songs, as well as pivotal events, such as Billy Joel’s tour of Russia in 1987, Amnesty International’s Human Rights Now tour (1988), and Bruce Springsteen’s 1988 concert in East Berlin.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SsXVTdrPRMeAIIcSBDoq5A#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_SsXVTdrPRMeAIIcSBDoq5A#/registration</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#E97132'>Pride: Fireside Movie Night <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.

The film follows a group of LGBTQ+ activists who raise money to support struggling mining families, despite facing prejudice and resistance from both communities. As the two groups begin working together, unexpected friendships and solidarity form, highlighting the power of unity during times of political and social division. Through humour, heart, and activism, the film explores themes of acceptance, community, and collective resistance. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UBnFMc1ORJu172DVumvanA#/registration">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/UBnFMc1ORJu172DVumvanA#/registration</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#0070C0'>Fight Ford Protests <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Sat.
