Your Questions About Sustainable Energy Development

Ruth asks…

What is Canada’s role in sustainable development projects?

I need to study for my Biology test (grade 12) and I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.
If someone could give me a link or something helpful, that would be great.
Thank you!

You would have to be more specific, sustainable development of what? In an energy sense, Canada pursues many alternative energy techniques (for example wind farms and solar energy). The best way would probably be to talk about government incentives on sustainable projects. You would have to research them, but the Canadian government provides subsidies and tax breaks on sustainable powered homes, cars, business, etc.

Hope this helps.

I am glad you are interested in this question because it is important that we should reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources. Future generations will not thank us for wasting such resources.

Coal and oil are examples of non-renewable energy sources. They are fossil fuels obtained from the ground and were created millions of years ago during a phase in the earth’s development that is over. So as we use these resources less is available for the future. Furthermore burning fossil fuels creates pollution.
Solar panels and wind mills are examples of renewable resources because collecting such energy has little or no impact on its availability for the future.

But it may be worth pointing out that the term “renewable” is confusing. What we really mean is “sustainable”.

Best wishes for a more sustainable future.
