Possibility doesn't just
grow in Ontario's Greenbelt,
it abounds here. New ways of
thinking, new approaches to
old challenges - the
Greenbelt inspires us all to
look at our world
differently.
Wrapping around the Golden
Horseshoe, the Greenbelt is
1.8 million acres of
potential to make Ontario,
and the earth, a better
place.
Possibility Grows Here!
Food & Farming -- The
Greenbelt is important for
fresh, local food and the
diversity of food available
reflects the diversity of
Ontarians. Farmers work hard
to protect the quality of
source water, plant trees
and reduce pesticide use.
Buying locally also helps
reduce our carbon footprint.
Clean Air & Water --
These are two top concerns
for Ontarians according to a
2007 Environics Poll. It's
comforting to know our
children and future
generations have clean air
and water thanks to the many
lakes, wetlands, rivers and
trees in the Greenbelt.
Active, Healthy Living -- Green space provides
recreational activities for
all Ontarians including
hiking trails on some of the
most ecologically diverse
landscapes in Canada.
Protecting Species &
Habitats -- The
Greenbelt also helps protect
65 or so endangered species.
For many, the protection of
the Greenbelt may very well
be their last hope for
survival. All this adds up
to a world-leading
initiative: the largest
and most diverse Greenbelt
on the planet.
The Greenbelt is where
possibility grows and where
our future grows. Everything
we need to secure our health
and abundance is right here
in our own backyard, in
Ontario's Greenbelt.
