Hi Class,
The article this week comes from Canadian Geographic. According to the website, "Canadian Geographic is a voyage of discovery and exploration that features the latest science, environment, travel and human and cultural stories from across Canada. The writing comes to visual life through stunning photography and elegant art direction. No Canadian magazine rivals Canadian Geographic's production values. This award-winning tradition began 80 years ago" (http://www.canadiangeographic.ca/magazines/).
After reading the article, write a paragraph comparing the environmental problems the Don has faced with environmental problems you have seen near your hometown, citing specific examples.
