Canada is heading in the wrong direction to avoid dangerous climate change. d Canadians continue to be large consumers and producers of hydrocarbon energy. Reserve levels are stable but their projected lifespan is declining due to growing demand. e Water quality is good, but supplies are shrinking in parts of the country and, combined with high demand, raise concerns for the future. f Canadians are consuming more and disposing more. There are some signs of reduced consumption in the last few years, but it remains to be seen whethe this was because of actual behaviour change or the onset of the recession. g Recycling is increasing but not enough to reduce total waste. Many Canadian species are struggling, especially freshwater fish, grassland birds, reptiles and amphibians. h Our rich forest ecosystems are not sustainable; depletion rates are exceeding growth rates. There is not enough environmental monitoring and existing data is largely old and inaccessible – in contrast to economic data.
