The Greenbelt is important to the health of Ontario. We need to increase the size and quality of the Greenbelt.

- Local food produced on the Greenbelt reduces carbon emissions.
- Moraines such as the Paris Galt and the Oak Ridges filters water before it reaches urban centres.
- Moraines moderate water flow thus preventing flooding in rivers passing through urban centres.
- Agrarian industry can provide more local jobs and reduce migration of youth to urban centres
- Land trusts and trail associations can provide socially distanced exercise opportunities.
- Wine produced in Ontario are internationally competitive.

We have a chance to re-engineer our economy with low carbon footprint, profitable businesses. Let's not lose the opportunity to make Ontario healthier.
