Hello, I am writing you…

Hello,
I am writing you today to let you know that I am totally opposed to you weakening any environmental laws around the Greenbelt in Ontario. Any business development in the province has lots of options for land before taking over protected areas. The Greenbelt is currently home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage and needs further protection rather than any sort of development. We do not need it to be taken up with factories or further urban sprawl. We need to be creatively looking at further in fill of existing cities and towns as enough green space and farm land have been taken over. I believe that our communities, businesses and government have what it takes to develop and implement far more creative and sustainable solutions for development. Opening up protected land for development lacks strategic leadership and vision and appears as inappropriate submission to the demands of businesses and investors.
