| Environment Still a Priority For Canadians | 11 September 09 |
 A recent Canadian Press – Harris/Decima survey found 74 percent of the 1000 Canadians surveyed say the government is not doing enough and want more action on environmental issues.
Harris-Decima vice president Jeff Walker said the results are surprising considering more than 400,000 jobs have been lost since October of 2008. Despite real concerns about the economy, 73 percent of respondents said they were personally making an effort to be more environmentally conscious. The new poll also reveals 67 percent of Canadians think the environment should not be put on the backburner while governments tackle current economic problems "In contrast to prevailing views that environmental efforts recede in a recession, Canadians continue to integrate environmentally sustainable behaviours into their lives, and overwhelmingly believe much more can and should be done," said Walker.
