Biodiversity is good for us. We need our nature fix. ‘Better than medication’: prescribing time in nature works, with improved mental health and wellbeing outcomes in a large public health study in UK.

Green infrastructure investments are proven solutions to flooding and integral to climate resilience. Politicians’ failure to adopt these measures makes flooding worse.
Make no mistake: the flooding we see in the city today is no surprise. It is an outcome of politicians taking a very very very shortsighted view of infrastructure planning and investment. Take a look at this vote from 2018 requesting an increase in stormwater infrastructure spending. It failed. Disinvestment in the city leads to the mess you saw today. Same with traffic congestion. Both are an outcome of a broken approach to municipal infrastructure financing - and a lack of leadership. Every politician who voted no to this - and many more similar votes that were about necessary reinvestment - should be held to account. They made this mess. This is entirely solvable. We even know *how* to solve it and we have the plans to solve it. But politicians refuse to fund it. Now we will waste billions cleaning up the mess.

About time we restrict gas powered leaf blowers in #ON. They pollute air, add to respiratory distress, damage hearing, and destroy soil #biodiversity. Meanwhile US towns and states are banning or restrict blowers that run on gasoline. @Gasp4Change
