The Greenbelt is one of the…

The Greenbelt is one of the most important and I would argue, well known environmental regulation in Ontario. Ontarians hold pride in the strict regulations provided by the Greenbelt legistalation protecting environmentally sensitive regions. Undoing this in the name of suburban sprawl would not only be devastating for the environment, but also the future of Ontario. We need to be talking about rezoning existing land use and making current sources of housing more dense. Once the precendant of enviromental damage in the Greenbelt is authorized, it begins a slippery slope of further damage to the environment, especially when the reasons for doing so are so argumentatively weak.
