Alison became interested in property rights with respect to the environment when she analyzed the current Ontario Greenbelt land-use regulations around the Toronto area. Her biggest interest within the free market environmentalism framework is the application of water markets. Alison is very excited to be a part of the inaugural Impact fellowship program and is eager to further explore the ideas behind enhancing and conserving environmental quality through the use of property rights and markets.
