To fragment The Greenbelt is…

To fragment The Greenbelt is criminal. It will not only negatively affect the many species that call it home, it will indefinitely do the same to our health and overall well-being. Affordable housing is important, but we can't afford to destroy the very ecosystem that provides our home and so much more. The development in Ontario is already at extremes as I witness animals being pushed from their homes and people become more disconnected to nature. We must preserve what natural area we have to ensure we have a safe place to live...a place worth living. There's a reason people leave the city...people inherently need nature. If the development continues like it has been and at the cost of our environment, there won't be much incentive to actually living in the areas you plan to develop. The line needs to be drawn, and the line is a belt.
