CanadaAccording to the OECD environmental ranking (2010), Canada ranks 24th out of 25 countries. Canada ranks poorly in waste and pollution emissions, such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, volatile organic compounds, nuclear waste, etc. However, has high rankings for producing healthy foods, meaning that the pesticides and use of fertilizer hasn't caused much damage to the ecosystems around the area of usage.- The Green Party - M.P. Elizabeth May Environmental policies Reducing financial support for industries that pollute Funding for environmentally-free technology Carbon fee Goals Energy security Enhancing renewable sources of energy (wind, solar, hydroelectric) Maximizing energy productivity (improving energy efficiency)ScandinaviaDenmark, Sweden, and Norway placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively on the OECD ranking and have fairly high rankings in all of the categories. With a past that was dependent on oil, Scandinavia is now well known to use green energy, efficient buildings, and low fossil fuel use.Denmark - efficient buildings and outstanding bicycle foundation where the citizens of Copenhagen, the capital, frequently travel by bike.Sweden - lowest usage of fossil fuels, instead uses nuclear, hydropower and wood as fuels.Norway - usage of electric vehicles and exports lots of oil.Kyoto ProtocolThe Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change where the committed Parties work to reduce GHG emissions. In 2002 the Canadian Liberal government had officially ratified the agreement, but as they lost power in 2006 to the Conservatives, the Kyoto Protocol had been discarded. The initial goal had been to reduce the GHG emissions 6% from the 1990 level of 461 Mt (megatonnes) by 2020; but as Harper took over, the emissions rose by 26.2% from 1990-2007. Harper officially withdrew Canada from the agreement in 2011, and instead promised to reduce the emissions by 17% from the 2005 level of 747Mt by 2020.
