Canada’s Green Plan for a Healthy Environment: In Brief. Government of Canada.. 1990.

Canadians have many concerns and ideas for cleaning up and protecting their environment. This resource, Canada’s Green Plan for a healthy environment: In brief, summarizes 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. The original Green Plan was the most important environmental action plan ever produced in Canada, it provided more than 100 important and well-funded initiatives. The original presents the targets and schedules that would drive environmental initiatives within federal jurisdiction of Canada for years to come. This resource summarizes all that, and then briefly outlines detailed descriptions of the Green Plan initiatives in clean air, water, and land principles; sustaining renewable resources; species; and global environmental security. Also included is a Green Plan news release.
