- Thematic map: 16-201-XDescription:
Human Activity and the Environment (16-201-X) focuses on current environmental issues. The latest information and statistics are gathered from many sources to produce an in-depth analytical article.
Release date: 2022-01-25 - Table: 16-201-SDescription: Human Activity and the Environment: Detailed Statistics (16-201-S) is a collection of statistics focusing on human activities from an environmental perspective. Data are compiled from many sources including Statistics Canada, federal government departments, provincial governments and other sources. It is complimented by Human Activity and the Environment (16-201-X), which provides analysis on current environmental issues.Release date: 2011-06-28
- 3. Disposal of household special wastes ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-002-X200800110539Geography: CanadaDescription: Households across the country regularly produce special wastes ranging from dead batteries to old paint containers. This study focuses on four special wastes for which information was collected in the 2006 Households and the Environment Survey' leftover or expired medication, dead batteries, old computer and communication equipment and leftover paint.Release date: 2008-03-27
- 4. Water Management on Canadian Farms ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-021-M2007001Geography: CanadaDescription:
The analysis contained in this article is based on results from the 2001 Farm Environmental Management Survey (FEMS). It presents information on various practices used to manage water on Canadian farms. Practices surveyed are divided in two groupings: those used to protect natural sources of water - maintaining vegetation on areas adjacent to natural sources of water, management of grazing livestock, conservation measures for natural wetland areas, and disposal of milkhouse wash water and toxic wastes; and those related to the use of water for farming and household activities types of irrigation systems and testing of domestic water.
Results show that farm practices impacting water quality and quantity are significantly used by Canadian farmers. Higher adoption rates of environmental measures could likely be achieved to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint. These results can assist governments, farmers and non-governmental organizations in targeting actions and in the promotion and development of new farm environmental programs and practices.
Release date: 2007-11-06 - 5. Solid waste in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X20050008657Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2005-12-02 - Articles and reports: 11F0027M2004026Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper develops a production framework that allows for self-supplied water intake, an unpriced 'natural' input. The framework is then exploited to estimate the corresponding water shadow prices and to assess the extent to which water impacts on the multifactor productivity performance of the Canadian business sector's industries.
