I find it nothing short of shocking that our provincial government is going in the exact opposite direction it should be going in regards to the environmental issues facing out planet today. This is a shame. It is unforgivable to be leaving the next generation with a planet that is carved to pieces by industry.

On the contrary, at this point we must urgently respond to climate change in a global, systemic way. Not just for us, but for all other life on earth.

We need to intensify our cities, reduce our consumption as a species, protect as much of the remaining natural areas that we have left as possible, and much more. In terms of protection, this includes the greenbelt. Bill 66 must not pass.

Earth overshoot day last year was August - in 8 months we consumed more than the planet can replenish in a year. I will not write an essay here, but it must be entirely clear that this is a moral issue, and this is not an issue we can ignore. It is for all life that we must act on this however we can. We are certainly on the precipice of ecological collapse.

We need the natural systems upon which we depend, and that means curtailing growth. Do not open the greenbelt for business.
