The goal of the Environmental Protection Act and EASR in Ontario
Introduction In 1970, the United States Congress passed the Environmental Protection Act in response to the growing awareness of the need to protect our environment. The primary goal of the act was to create a federal agency, the Environmental Protection Agency, which would be responsible for setting and enforcing environmental regulations. The Environmental Protection Act was designed to protect the environment from pollution and other forms of degradation. This act is to help prevent businesses and industries from releasing harmful pollutants into the air, water, and land. There are standards set and rules that businesses have to follow if they are using facility equipment that can harm the environment. This act also requires businesses and industries to have permits and documents in place before they can use the equipment. The Environmental Protection Act is an important tool in the fight against pollution, and it has already helped improve the quality of the air, water, and land in the United States.

Above the Clouds
We’d hit the end of the trail officially recognized and maintained by the state of Hawaii in about an hour and a half, at around eleven in the morning. A wooden bench played host to an older couple, and small families milled around with phones raised for pictures, children and parents smiling against the wide view of the ocean and the town of Hanalei nestled twelve hundred feet below in the sweeping lap of the valley. They’d all come equipped for the trail; shorts and tennis shoes abounded, backs unencumbered by packs that only would have served to free the hands which clutched twelve ounce water bottles. Eyes followed Charlie and I with curiosity.

Destiny and Mollusks
She tapped on the glass. Gently, but firmly. Nothing happened. She tapped again, a bit more firmly. A woman behind her said “no tapping on the glass!”. Turning to sneer at the woman, she tapped again. This time, it was more like knocking on a door. Loud and abrupt. The woman shook her head in disgust and walked briskly away, she muttered as she went. “Some people’s children, such a shame”. The young lady raised her fist to the glass wall of the aquarium tank and stared longingly into the teal water. She leaned forward, and rested her forehead against the tempered glass.
