16-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, May 30, 1990 Report from Ottawa by Ross Stevenson, M.P. Durham As Canadians we have respon- sibility for a significant part of our, world 's environment. Canada has 16 Per cent of the earth's entire supply of fresh water, and 10 per cent of its forest resaurces. We are the worid's third iargest producer of miner ais. Our major resource-based in- dustries -- agriculture, forestry, mining, and energy --1 pravide jobs for mare than four million people, which is one of every three worldng Canadians. Therc's an unfortunate flip side ta aIl this. The average Canadian ranks as the world's heaviest user of energy, and in burning fossil fuels is the fourth largest producer of car- bon dioxide. And when it cames ta garbage, that average Canadian is a world beater. He or she produces twa kilograms of' soiid waste each and every day.

In 1985 the Canadian Acid Ramn Contrai Program committed the federai gavernment and the seven eastern provinces ,ta reducing suiphur diaxide emnissians 50 per cent by 1994. Faliawing strang representations fram Ottawa, the U.S. Cangress naw is-debating acid rain contrais that, by the year 2000, wiil cut in haif the amaunt of suiphur diaxide biowing across aur barder. I have just tauched an a few highlights, and the federai gavern- ment was by no means alane in dispiaying this cancern about the environment. Provincial and municipal gavernments, industry, eduicators, citizen graups, cam- munities and individuais ail have jained farces ta meet taday's' en- vironmentai challenges.
