Ontario’s environment appears to be at risk in various ways, according to a report by auditor general’s office.“Just as past actions have impacted the environment, future actions too will affect the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we live and grow crops on, how we handle waste, the changing climate, and the state of nature and wildlife in Ontario,” reads the report.
The quality of water in the Great Lakes has been improving. However, algae blooms have been worse along parts of the Lake Ontario and Lake Erie shorelines.About 60 per cent of monitored rivers and streams in Ontario are rated as “fairly poor” to “very poor” when it comes to biological health. When it comes to water chemistry, 41 per cent are rated as “marginal” or “poor.”
Between 2002 and 2020, the amount of waste diverted from landfill to recycling has risen from 19 per cent to 29 per cent. However, according to current trends, Ontario’s landfill capacity can only accept up to 10 to 13 more years of waste.
