Once the green belt is lost,…

Once the green belt is lost, there will never be an opportunity to reclaim these lands. The environmental damage will be immediate and the downstream impact to the quality of human life is undeniable. If the government’s goal is to build more homes, use the non green belt land more efficiently. That includes building up, repurposing buildings, and creating smaller, livable units. Task the developers and construction industry with this goal. If they can figure it out, there are private, voting citizens than can. Environmental issues are not fringe passions of small groups. It is in everyone’s interest to preserve the place that we call home.
