Involved in Ontario
A friend of mine just introduced me to something most surprising: Ontario's Environmental Registry.
If you are an Ontario resident, check it out. It's been around since 1994, but I'd never heard of it, and I admit to being impressed. The site lists all the recent applications made by companies for equipment, operational or other changes that will effect the environment. It then gives the public a chance to respond with letters that will be added to the official proceedings--similar, I suppose, to the way building and zoning permits work.
A quick look at the last week's postings turns up several requests to increase exhaust emissions, and a curious little application by a group called The Brethren of Early Christianity, who are renewing their permit to extract water from four wells in the town of Bright.
