Economy Verses the Environment: Canada's Water Pollution Dilemma
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper illustrating the dilemma facing Canada involving the protection of her environment and the provision for economic development. Recognizes that both economy and environment are important. Outlines the impacts to waterbodies which are currently occurring both as a result of direct impacts such as the discharge of domestic and industrial wastes and as a result of indirect impacts such as acid rain which results from air pollution. Emphasizes that although current regulations are simply not sufficient, their are economically viable alternatives to environmental protection. Two of these alternatives are the use of reverse osmosis and the creation of man-made wetlands to be used in the receipt and treatment of domestic and industrial wastes. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The acidic compounds that are the result of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, fall to the earth in either wet form (such as rain, snow, and fog or dry form (such as gas and particles). Winds blow such particles and gases onto all types of human and natural structures. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Aboriginal Consideration and Involvement in Environmental Conservation in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the consideration for Canadian aboriginals in regards to environmental conservation in Canada. Within the last century in Canada, there has been little consideration for the environmental concerns and land claims proposed by the Canadian aboriginals. Part of reason for this could be that generally, as seen in the work of the Group of Seven, Canadian natives were not linked with the Canadian landscape. While some artists like Emily Carr depicted the disappearing ecology and native cultures the west, generally that work was not well received until recently. The disregard for native concerns continues in governmental and corporate policies administered today in which Canadian aboriginals have had to fight for the preservation of their homeland after industrial legislation has been granted to destroy it either by logging or fishing conflicts. While environmental groups often work hand in hand with the natives in regards to conservation, often times, they too conflict and disregard the aboriginal perspective. While there are some cases in which Canadian aboriginals have been successful in their fight to retain their land and conserve the environment, these struggles are still considered secondary to the desires of the provincial and federal governments and industry.

Acid Rain
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the phenomena of acid raid. It has been a research topic for, literally, more than a century and therefore offers a wide variety of information sources for the student to choose between in presenting his or her argument about acid rain. That variety of sources allows any person researching the topic to discover conflicting and contrasting opinions and, in the process, reach their own conclusions. “Acidic deposition,” or acid rain as it is commonly known, occurs when emissions of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. This mixture forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
