In this letter, I will discuss the current environmental sustainability project, specifically its coal policy, its strengths and weaknesses, and the areas that can be improved. With numerous

Embrace new technologies to improve efficiency, maintain environmental stewardship through green practices and sustainable operations, support continuous improvement of the business processes, develop employees’ capability, and provide excellent customer services.” (Hillsborough County, 2015)

We once lived in a world lush and plentiful where we enjoyed all the natural resources peacefully. However at the beginning of the industrial revolution more people moved to the cities therefore increasing their dependency load. Fastforward to today and the world has seen a drastic change in the loss of natural resources as well as a number of health related illnesses like asthma. This is mainly due to the effects from carbon pollution, greenhouse gases and global warming. Canada as a country is thought of as environmentally aware and progressive. Actually has many issues regarding this topic and if it is not taken care of it will affect the future of the nation. I care about this topic because it has to

Air pollution is a major threat to the atmosphere, causing damages to the environment by emitting harmful substance to human health. Alberta has become a vulnerable society that has resulted in an increase rate of illness caused by poor air quality from asthma to lung cancer. Although Alberta is one of Canada’s largest growing industries, Alberta produces the most greenhouse gas emissions, which has made Alberta to position as the worst air quality management in the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) (Esrd.alberta.ca).

The plan that is being focused on is called Ontario Coal Phase Out. The Coal Phase

The Globe and Mail’s article, “Why Canada needs a new alcohol strategy,” discusses the imposing threat alcohol has on Canadians. Marijuana and its harmful effect continue to be the topic of discussion amongst Canadians when in fact alcohol attracts the largest number of youth. Alcohol is a harmful substance that poses a greater threat to young Canadians than the likes of marijuana, prescription drugs and cigarettes. According to a 2012-13 Health Canada survey, 41 percent of grade 7 to grade 12 students said they drank alcohol at least once in the previous year, compared with 19 per cent who had tried marijuana and 13 per cent who had smoked a cigarette. Of the students who drank, 30 per cent had binged. Binge drinking is defined as five or more drinks at a single sitting. There are many risks alcohol poses, but the major ones include, drunk driving, increased risk of alcoholism, learning and memory impairment, sexual assault/abuse and suicide. Adults are drinking harmful amounts of alcohol, putting them at high risks of health. According to stats Canada, nearly 20 per cent of Canadians are heavy drinkers. One in four Canadians exceeds national safety drinking guidelines. Many Canadians don’t realize we drink unsafe amounts of alcohol and its increasing chances of harm that comes with it. Majority of Canada’s citizens don’t realize there is a drinking guideline. Most cases regarding alcohol are turned a blind eye and only receive attention in the media when there is a

It has adapted to the times to maintain success for over seven decades. Being such a busy tavern, The Pilot produces a great deal of waste from straws which can easily be diminished. Therefore, The Pilot must now adapt to ensure it does its part to be environmentally sustainable. Reducing and discontinuing the use of straws in the tavern is a simple practice to do its part. With the understanding of needs of The Pilot’s loyal customers and its business focuses this proposal will outline what can be done to satisfy the establishment, customers, and the environment. Furthermore, The Pilot is a highly regarded establishment in the city and can use its clout along with other establishments to pioneer the anti-straw movement in Toronto that is currently taking place around Canada and globally.

Canada is one of the best country to live in terms of its social, political, economical and cultural aspects. The good living condition and the social harmony are the most known description of today's Canada. The invention of this livable country faced lots of contradictions and problems. The great development of Canada rely upon its geographical, and environmental features. Besides from these advantages the economical, and political objectives were correct. From the whole course content, i have noticed that the unification is the common process in invention of today's Canada. The social, political, economical and cultural aspects all have some relation with unification process. In other words, the key for this country's development is unification.

Canada is one of the developed nations in the world and with that comes a certain type of lifestyle that its citizens are accustomed to and often expect. This lifestyle is definitely not conscious of the environment at most times, however is trying to improve or at least find some kind of alternative to environmental problems that we can’t actually fix because they’ve become an important part of our everyday life. For that, our lifestyle has been measured by way of an ecological footprint and the results obviously haven’t been something to be proud of. Although there are many reasons why the ecological footprint of Canada is so high, one of the reasons is because of our excessive fossil fuel emissions from our cars, trucks, busses and planes.

As a result of this growth, Ontario has struggled to manage the volume of green bin waste to the point where it is sometimes not technically even recycled anymore. According to Welsh, in 2008 York region and Guelph shipped their kitchen waste to an incinerator New York State because their own facilities had to close (2009, para. 12). This is a shocking finding and is clearly a step backwards for recycling initiatives in Canada.

Ontario has its own creative and effective strategies to combat climate change. One of Ontario’s goal is a low-carbon future. To accomplish this the province started making carbon reductions in 1990 and are on track to reduce carbon emissions by 15% in 2020, 37 per cent in 2030 and 80 per cent in 2050 (Climate Change Action Plan, 2017). Ontario’s target of reducing emissions by 6% was met on schedule in 2014 (Climate Change Action Plan, 2017). One of the reasons this has been made possible is because of Ontario’s investment in carbon reduction. For example, in 2015 Ontario committed $325-million payment to Ontario’s Green Investment Fund to support programs that help households and businesses implement

I consider myself as someone who cares about the environment therefore, I understand the difference that York is trying to make. I agree that York should be one of leading post-secondary institutions in sustainability. The approach that the university is taking is a great way to get people in the York community interested in this growing problem. When we are talking about the environment it is important that our plans work for the long-term as well. York has successfully included in its policies that they are thinking ahead for the years to come (“The Sale and Distribution…”, 2015). I came across a book called “Blue covenant the global water crisis and the coming battle for the right to water” written by Maude Barlow. The argument that stood out the most to me was that our landfills in Toronto are not able to support bottled water (Barlow, 2009, p.89). More specifically, it states that municipalities are having trouble finding space for garbage generated by bottled water. It has a quote that paints a picture of how big of a crisis this is, “as few as 50 percent of the water bottles Torontonians consume everyday are actually being recycled, as many as 65 million empty plastic water bottles per year end up as garbage in a landfill waste site.” (Barlow, 2009, p.90) These statistics stuck with me since Toronto is a city of approximately 2.8 million people and yet we are able to use roughly 65 million single-use water bottles (Barlow, 2009, p.90).

The community, business partners, customers/guests, and employees all have low power, high importance. The community expects a high level of quality products and services that provide significance to their area. This includes having both involvement and support towards the community growth. The protection of the environment and a conservation of natural resources is a concern of the
