The Greenbelt of Ontario is a proven necessity in these days of extreme population growth, and its ensuing living space, which should be contained near public transportation, where jobs are located, and where shopping areas are located.
The Greenbelt is needed for its ability to provide needed clean water, shelter for wild animals, vegetation to slow the melting of snow and prevent erosion, as well as an area of semi-natural land as a refuge from the vast over-peopled landscape of most of southern Ontario.
People need to feel or sense a connection to the natural landscape as an antidote to the concrete jungle that occupies most areas not in the Greenbelt.
