Living Green Infrastructure provides economic, environmental, social and health benefits to Canadians by reducing energy costs; managing stormwater; creating cleaner air and improving the population's health and well-being. Natural assets such as urban forests, wetlands, and other green spaces play an important role in supporting traditional greywater systems infrastructure. These infrastructures provide a range of benefits, including air purification, water filtration, and carbon sequestration, all of which contribute to a safer and healthier environment.
