Document Summary
Describe how damien hinkson is solving environmental and social problems in his home country of barbados. Barbados depends on importation for most of its food, hence the ships cause pollution and they run on coal or oil and emit co2 gases. Canada has a very poor climate change performance (we are doing nothing to improve our current condition) Canada"s main economy is based on the production and extraction of fossil fuels (oil) Canada has no limit or restrictions (fines) of the amount of co2 that can be released into the atmosphere. Awareness could also be a factor in affecting out current condition of climate change. Many people are denying that climate change is happening and others agree it exists but don"t feel that we (humans) are responsible for causing it. Our government is cutting funding for science research of climate change and pollution. Canada has very few sources of alternative green energy. Canadian emissions are increasing by 30% and rising.
