Voilà, c’est fait. En ce 15 mars, le Canada a déjà consommé l’ensemble des ressources naturelles renouvelables que la Terre peut lui fournir en une année pour ne pas puiser dans ses réserves. Sortez les bulles… et jetez-les aux poubelles après en avoir bu une gorgée !
Something else at play here is accuracy in reporting. Canada has strict reporting regulations, which means the pollution reported matches the actual pollution pretty well (but this ignores that Canada releases a LOT of CO2 into the atmosphere through natural processes as well — forest fires and permafrost methane off gassing for example).
Also, worth noting that where I live in Canada, there’s lots of public transit, minimal food waste, single use plastics aren’t legal to sell, and neither are single use plastic shopping/grocery bags. A lot of people drive electric vehicles, and electricity is generated by hydroelectricity.
Most of the pollution (and there IS a lot) is industrial, a lot of it related to tar sands oil extraction.
