The city of Toronto is working on a project called "The Blue Edge", this project will be working on the revitalizations of Toronto's waterfront and water lands.Its purpose is to open Toronto's poorly maintained water lands (hence the don river)which usually can be found along the Don Valley Parkway. They will be adding greener and cleaner initiatives, while using environmental instruments to help play a role in improving the worlds Climate Change. Along the don river path way their will be a restoration and maintenance of the water and re planted trees while adding accessory plants for an additional feel of a greener community and will also include a path along the don river.
This project is stated that it will build water conservation measures,and more effective and creative storm water management systems, and also the use of grey water recycling. As a part of the project the Don river will restore the wetlands that were destroyed in the 19th century, this will be a beneficial effect for the environment, it would support the area growth of wild life species, moderate the effects of erosions, and mitigate climate change through the storage of carbon dioxide.
The Blue Edge project will help the pollution rate of the city decrease through the greener initiatives said to improve the climate change and give a great role in re- building the lost eco system's of the city's wet lands and green area's, therefore it will restore the homes of the wild life and the aquatic features of the wet lands of the city. From my opinion this project is a great step for inviting wild life species while also inviting human's into the new attraction, giving Toronto a more greener and reluctant product to show off, while giving back the features of nature that human took away from wild life species, or from destroyed wet lands/ wild life home's that should be seriously restored.
