6. Canada: Great Lakes Pollution
Waste from industries, sewage treatment plants, runoff, pesticides, fertilizers, oil, grease, salt.
Canada and the US are working together to clean up the pollution and the acid rain
Regulating industry
Replacing coal
Adding lime to rivers

7. By the 1970s, the Great Lakes became known for their pollution
In some places, fishing was unsafe; in other places there were no fish left alive
The factories around the Great Lakes had been using the lakes as a cheap dumping ground

8. Improving Air Quality Acid Rain causes many problems: Kills plants
Damages or kills trees
Pollutes lakes and rivers
Kills fish
Buildings are damaged
Acid Rain is a serious problem in Ontario and Quebec.

9. Canada has passed laws to limit the pollution
Government has worked with the factory owners to build factories that don’t pollute the air
New laws passed require automobiles to produce less pollution
Government also encourages Canadians to walk, ride bikes, or take the bus instead of driving their cars

10. The most valuable minerals available in Canada are located within the Canadian Shield
minerals (gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, iron ore, uranium, and nickel)
About 1.5 million people make their living in the mining industry (most in the Canadian Shield)

11. The Canadian Shield’s minerals are also located near the most populated areas of Canada, meaning that these environmental issues also impact the people living there
The government has made new laws about mining, some reduce the amount of pollution allowed into the waterways

12. The Timber Industry Issue with clear cutting include:
Reduced water quality
Erosion
Loss of wildlife habitat
The government & logging industry spend money to protect the forests
Some environmental groups want smaller groups of trees cut down rather than hundreds of acres at a time

13. Canada’s government & the timber industries are working together to manage the use of the forests
Hundreds of millions of seeds and seedlings are planted each year
Billions of dollars are spent managing and protecting the forests
Over $100 million is spent each year by the logging industry to protect wildlife and their habitat
