  • 9. Solid waste in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 16-201-X20050008657
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Waste has always been a by-product of human activity. Indeed, all aspects of our lives - working, playing, eating - generate some form of waste. Managing it has been a challenge for millennia, more so since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century gave rise to unprecedented industrialization and urbanization. Canadians are concerned today about many waste-related issues. These include: The generation of waste - how much garbage is produced in Canada, and is production going up or down? The impact of waste on the environment - has the way we deal with garbage changed over the years? What are governments and others doing to address these concerns? This article examines these issues by creating a statistical portrait of solid waste in Canada.
