THE PROBLEM
Ontario’s environment includes some of Canada’s best farmland, abundant freshwater and one of the world’s largest protected Greenbelts. But our environment is under threat from the Ontario government. Environmental rollbacks are allowing more sprawl to pave over prime farmland, aggregate operations to threaten water supplies and industry operations to threaten endangered species.
The Solution
Ontario is Yours To Protect. Let your MPP know that you value clean water, protected wildlife, local food, climate change action and a healthy future for all Ontarians.
Stop Highway 413
Stop Highway 413
Highway 413 (GTA West) will pave over farms, forests, wetlands and a section of the Greenbelt, while doing little to ease traffic congestion. Ontario must cancel this redundant $6 Billion dollar highway.
Stop the Big Sprawl
Stop the Big Sprawl
Increasing density in existing urban areas, instead of building low-density sprawl on green space, will help preserve farms and forests, combat climate change and improve quality of life.
Protect the Greenbelt
Protect the Greenbelt
Ontario’s Greenbelt helps prevent flooding, fights climate change, provides us with local food and preserves beautiful natural heritage areas we can all enjoy. Let’s make sure it stays protected.
