Preserve the Green Space

Preserve the Green Space, Forest and Woodlands, and Farmland that remain.

It is imperative that we enact measures that guarantee stopping our conventional land use patterns of sprawl. The most crucial component of Sustainable Growth is preservation. Nature controls more pollution and green house gases than any man made measure technology can invent and produce. What is presently ‘Green’ must stay green. Especially in urbanized areas, Canada cannot afford to lose any more natural green space. It is imperative that we enact measures that guarantee stopping our conventional land use patterns of sprawl.

Proposal: The areas within communities that are presently being used as residential, commercial or industrial are the boundaries of the community. No further expansion for any reason. The present amount of “Green Space” within a community may not decrease.
