 What options to people have when choosing a place to live in Montreal? DID YOU KNOW?  Over 13, 500 people in 2004 did not find housing in Montreal that was within their budget  Low-income housing, the suburbs or cheaper regions of the island.

 Look at the charts on p. 46 and 47 of your textbook  How much and what types of waste are produced by Montrealers?  Does it shock you how much waste is produced?

 What are some things we can do to reduce waste in Montreal?

 Which issue do you think is the easiest to fix and why?  Which one do you think is the most difficult to fix and why?  Is the city of Montreal doing enough to help fix the issues?  Do other metropolitan cities face the same issues?
