  1. Pollution solutions

  2. Reactive solutions • These are solutions which happen after the fact. People see a problem, wait for the problem to happen then try and fix the problem instead of preventing it.

  3. Dilution Solution to Pollution

  4. Dilution Solution to Pollution • The idea here is if the pollution is not concentrated that means it will have less of an effect. So to move pollution and waste to a place where it can be Diluted and thus make it less of a problem. • This often just exports the real problems

  5. Reclamation • Here what is done is a reactive solution to the pollution problem. • Pollution will contaminate until it becomes such a large scale problem or until industry is done with an area. Afterward everything is “put back to the way to was” • Mines often do reclamation of land after they are finished. • Harbour clean is another example

  6. Cuyahoga River • A Reclamation of a river • Ohio river so polluted it actually caught fire…………..9 TIMES • After the last fire people were so tired of the problem they decided to get together and clean it up.

  7. Polluter pays • This is how the government deals with most of the pollution problems • The idea here is if an industry or person pollutes they have to pay for the clean up and harm they did to the environment. • It is also a reactive solution

  8. Proactive Solutions • This means we see a problem, know it is coming and choose to prevent that problem as opposed to reacting to what is happening.

  9. Prevention of pollutants being used • CFC’s were found to deplete the Ozone layer so instead of fixing the Ozone layer we got ride of CFC’s • This is a proactive solution to stop the things which cause the problem from happening.

  10. Recycling • Reusing the materials we already have as opposed to scrapping them for new materials.

  11. Renewable energy • Instead of using stored energy like fossil fuels we can use energy directly where they got it from. • This means Solar, Wind, and Hydro • Canadian homes and industry is run of 50% Hydro. • Fossil Fuels and Nuke can be used when these are intermittent • Smart Grid.
