Every time your family can't swim at the beach on a hot summer day, you are reminded. Or if your drinking water has a funny smell or is cloudy after a big storm, you'll pay attention. And, if you've ever had to boil your tap water, or have had a sewer backup into your home, you'll never forget.
Waste water that you send down the drain is treated before it gets recycled into the lake or streams. Most stormwater runoff is not -- it's not filtered or treated at all. Because we've got to get rid of it quickly, it just gets rushed into our waterways and lakes. On the way it picks up all kinds of pollution: animal waste, automobile oil and grease, pollution, pesticides and herbicides that have a direct impact on local water quality.
The first thing to do is to make sure your downspouts aren't...

The economic crisis and the ecological crisis are intimately connected. Both are a direct result of our refusal to accept responsibility for our appropriation of what we call resources -- whether it's executive remuneration or petroleum. We are now running up against the fact that Earth is finite. Money taken by some impoverishes others. Mineral riches get used up, and in the foreseeable future we will run out of oil altogether. Industrial processes, whether in manufacturing or agriculture, contaminate ecosystems and plants and animals become extinct.
Our refusal to recognize this connection has led governments to spend massive amounts on infrastructure -- sewers, bridges, roads -- designed to bolster our current system of urbanization, dependence on the private automobile, and the mark...

Two other significant taxes that we deal with on our tax returns are the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance. For one reason or another, we are forced to prove that we paid the correct amount of CPP and EI at income tax time. In addition, residents of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec also pay health-care taxes through either direct premiums or payroll taxes. All told, the average Canadian family paid some $7,900 in CPP, EI, and health taxes in 2006.
In addition to personal income taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes, which are all visible to a certain degree, there are a host of taxes that we pay but do not see. For instance, profit taxes amounting to approximately $2,790 in 2006 were assessed indirectly on average Canadian families. Taxes on liq...

This paper empirically examined the level of Japanese work organization and management techniques as practiced in PROTON. It has been argued that the Japanese work organization has been practiced and transferred more successful in the automobile industry because of its higher technicality. The PROTON-MITSUBISHI alliance has now been going for more than two decades (since 1982). Although PROTON has not yet been able to produce its own engine unless the CamPro engine with Waja model in 1999, this alliance is the best case to test the extent Japanese work organization is practiced to test the degree of transfer in the best sector and the best project to be studied. The discussion on Japanese influence on PROTON manufacturing systems to access the role of technological transfer done by Mits...

In Greek mythology, Eos is the winged goddess of the dawn. At first, it seems like an odd name for an automobile. However, hold the power hardtop button for 25 seconds and it is as though the sun rises. With the five-panel hardtop in place, the Eos's cabin is a tad tight. Go topless and it is a very different car. It also differs from its peers in that it is the only convertible that comes with a sunroof.
Usually, lopping off the roof reduces the body's structural integrity. The Eos has been strengthened in all the right places. Yes, there is some cowl shake when the road takes a turn for the worse, but it is minimal and does not upset the car's delicate balance.
The Eos's highlight is its willing powertrain. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder delivers 200 horsepower and 207 pound...
