Canadians and Americans agree that the environment needs more attention
Both Canadians and Americans feel that their governments are ignoring the environment, a recent Angus Reid poll has found. A majority of Canadian (66 per cent) and American (53 per cent) respondents feel that their federal governments are paying too little attention to the environment. A total of 40 per cent of Britons feel the same way.
Most Canadians (80 per cent) and Americans (72 per cent) place the pollution of rivers, lakes and reservoirs as their biggest environmental concern, while deforestation and the clearing of naturally occurring forests ranks the highest for Britons (67 per cent).
