Canada’s Green Plan for a Healthy Environment. Government of Canada.. 1990. 174 pp.

Canadians have many concerns and ideas for cleaning up and protecting their environment. This resource, Canada’s Green Plan for a healthy environment, was the federal government’s response to these concerns and ideas. In preparing this environmental action plan, they worked hard to ensure the priorities expressed so eloquently by Canadians are reflected in the many Green Plan initiatives. In fact, 400 of the 500 recommendations made at the national wrap-up consultation were incorporated into this Plan. This resource was the most important environmental action plan ever produced in Canada, it provided more than 100 important and well-funded initiatives. This document presents the targets and schedules that would drive environmental initiatives within federal jurisdiction of Canada for years to come. This resource is organized into two main sections, first an overview and then an incredibly detailed description of the Green Plan outlining clean air, water, and land principles; sustaining renewable resources; species; and global environmental security.
