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.

Air Pollution In Mexico City
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Considered to be one of the world's most polluted cities, Mexico City has long experienced the detrimental impact of its overwhelming air pollution problem. The most prominent pollutant throughout the city is automobile exhaust, which still to this day maintains high concentration levels of lead from before gasoline went lead-free. Sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide present two additional pollutants hanging in the air over Mexico City, as well, proving "very difficult to control and are still very worrisome from the point of view of the health effects…because they penetrate deeply into the lungs" (Air Pollution: Mexico City). This inability to dissipate such toxic substances is due to the city's proximity; a synergistic combination of high altitude and abundant sunlight create an "ideal environment for these dangerous compounds to accumulate and linger" (Air Pollution: Mexico City), ultimately proving extraordinarily damaging to the ozone.

Al Gore’s "Earth in the Balance"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper reviewing this work by former US vice president Gore. Gore’s publisher places on the book jacket glowing terms such as “intellectual brilliance” and “impeccable scholarship” to describe the contents of Gore’s 1992 work. The positions and sentiments that Gore presents in the work are admirable and do indeed deserve greater attention before the world of the future transforms itself into the present. Gore’s suggestions are so unworkable, however, that even Gore himself abandoned all but the rhetoric throughout his eight years as Vice President, during which time he had immense opportunity to, in essence, “put his money where his mouth is.” As has been the case with so many other self-styled “environmentalists,” Gore has demonstrated that there is little semblance between what he writes in the pages of “Earth in the Balance” and what he, as politician, businessman and individual, chooses to practice.
