“We’re now in a world where, especially with climate change, the past is no longer a good guide to the future. We have to get much better at preparing for the unexpected.”

A thread with ways you can help stop the development of a warehouse complex on the significant Pickering wetland @GreenInfraOn @envirodefence @ducanada @wetlandsontario @SustainMilton @henhere @TownOfAjax @TheBUnderwood @natural_assets @lucasmollame

[Green Roofs for Healthy Cities @GRHCna]

Wetlands are critical nature infrastructure. Paving over this #Ajax #wetland is a short-sighted decision that would undermine the community's resilience. Wetlands prevent floods, improve water quality and support local wildlife and biodiversity. #SaveDontPave #Nature #Resilience
