 Acid Rain – rain that is polluted by gases released in the air by the burning of fossil fuels like coal or oil

 Polluted farmland and dying trees  Dead plants and fish in lakes  Damage to buildings  Leads to lower profits because industry is effected

 Stricter emissions standards  Encourage people to use busses, trains, bikes  Environmental standards for factories  Must work with US – pollution travels both ways

 Pollution of the Great Lakes -Dumping of trash and chemicals led to high levels of pollution in the Great Lakes

 Animals and plants killed  Fish unsafe for eating

 Canada and US working together  Cleaner factories  No more dumping pollution in the lakes

 Extraction of Canadian Shield - Taking mineral from the Canadian Shield
