PHYSICAL
Every day young children around the world walk miles just to get water for their families, even though that water is polluted. Even sea going creatures are being killed by the diseases in the receive from the water they swim in. Animals, and humans like us are being killed from the water we drink. Infact, over 5 million people die from the sickness they receive from drinking. Part of the reason we have so much polluted water is because nature itself can pollute water. Nature pollutes water because of the terrain the water flows in. Also, plants are being killed from the water they absorb to survive. That is how polluted water effects Canada physically.
ECONOMIC
The citizens who became ill with this sickness sued the water company Citizens pay millions of dollars just in case they get the sickness. People spend over $25.00for the cure of drinking toxic/polluted water.Toxic sewage treatment factories were implanted to reduce the amount of toxic/polluted water.The bill of this implant costed over $10 million [ USA money]. Part of the reason we have polluted waters in Canada and all over the world is because of oil spills like in the gulp of Mexico, it happend one year ago when a bp oil drilling line had to much pressure on the pipe and it bersted and it spreed very fast. But that's only one of the reasons why we have so much polluted/toxic water. it also kills us humans because that oil can travel in to the sewer and travel into are clean water pipes, and in Africa some people take baths in the same wells that people drink in; don't you think that is gross. But we as a national community can stop POLLUTION by stop using dangerous hazards as a main energy source.
POLITICAL
The government didn't know what was happening until last minute and then didn't do anything. After,the government organized acts and put them into action. The federal level of government pays a low minimum wage of $10.25 per month. If people spend this money they won't have enough to go to hospital when there are ill or sick. Some people say to stop this the government should send illegal oil dumpers to court and make them pay for the damage.
SOCIAL
Some people live in a short drives distance from the great lakes, the reason they live there is because they love to swim there, BUT they don't know that the water they swim in is dangerous.The great lakes that they swim in are playing a big part in our lifetime and culture. Humans and animals can get killed by drinking the polluted water. Sometimes humans and animals can get killed is by other animals going to the bathroom. People can pollute the water by oil spills, toxic wast or normal wast, also people can pollute the water by gold mining(digging out gold). Also over 300 000 birds die each year from oil spills, there are also 2 ways oil spills can happen or increase 1)accidental leaks or 2)illegal oil dumping. Also in the picture when pollution happens moss grows and some people swim in that. But when it release dangerest hazards in the water to get moss out out of the water they also KILL 700 FISH! EWach time they do it.
