Repeal Bill 23.

It's a bad idea to start with since we're living in climate emergency. Where is the emergency if we act by taking 7400 acers of the green belt and convert it to concrete and asphalt?

Green belts have many important local functions:

1. Water sinks for floods
2. Prevent heat sinks in cities.
3. Ameliorate strong winds.
4. Excellent nature escapes beyond Mr. Ford's imagination.
5. If it's gone there's no turning back.
6. Wild life diversity.
7. Less animals coming to your house and staying in their home (the forest)

Global effects.
1. Sinks CO2
2. Slow down global warming.
3. Produce oxygen for breathing living beings (we learned that in grade 3)
4. Take out pollutants.

Please stop 🛑 this irreversible damage. Leave something to cherish for our kids.

Thanks,

Sam of Mississauga
