Hi, This Humayl Syed from CBC News talking about the 5 major oil spills in Alberta. The First major oil spill happened in 2011 in a place called Little Buffalo where 4.5 million liters of crude oil was leaked and is the largest oil spill in Alberta in 35 years this oil spill affected beaver ponds and forest areas. The Second oil spill is in Red Deer Lake were about 461,000 oil was spilled and was soon tracked to Jackson Creek which flows into Red deer river. The third oil spill was in Elk Point which leaked 1,400 barrels of crude oil, Alberta was still recovering to the Red Deer spill which happened earlier in the month. The Forth major oil spill is in Slave lake were Canadian Natural Resources spilled 70,000 of oil but 68,000 was processed water and all of the oil was cleaned up. The Last major Oil spill was Red Earth Creek where 1000 barrels of oil was spilled and it was said it affected 150 cubic meters of area. this disaster is the most resent happening in 2014 but it still did a lot of damage to the wild life. Those were the 5 major oil spills in Alberta thank you listening this has been Humayl Syed

One thing I found in was this graph which shows Greenhouse emissions in every province and territory in Canada most provinces are doing better than they were in 2005 and 1990 and some are close but the one province is doing worse is Alberta.Alberta has the most oil reserves in the country and third most in the world so it produces a lot of carbon dioxide, But if we try to make Alberta lower there oil collection then it means less for Canada and the world.
This photo is in Sweden, On the day of Christmas a 13 meter tall goat is built in the center on Gävle Castle Square for the advent. But this Christmas traditions has led to another one people try to burn the goat since 1966 the goat has been burned down 29 times, the latest time was 2016. What I found interesting was that it size it just kept getting bigger in 1971 the goat was 2 meters tall (6.6 ft) and now the highest its ever been is 14 meters.

I think plastic is very useful but when people start throwing it away like it won't do any harm, To the person they don't care because it doesn't affect them but what they don't realize is what there doing is hurt the life in the sea, Animals are dying when we throw that one plastic water bottle in the sea not knowing how much damage we are doing, if this keeps going on the whole sea life will be gone and the way you can fix it is stop using plastic bags and water bottles use a reusable bags and a refillable able water bottle.We have to solve this problem now before its to late and we have polluted to much.
The biggest issue in my opinion is heatwaves because it affects Canada more in the summer there more than 30 days that had a temperature over 30 c and some days have gone to 40. In 2017 73 people in Quebec died from heat waves. Heat waves are also connected to periods of drought.
If there is Higher temperature which means increase in the amount of moisture which evaporates from land and water, this will cause change in rainfall patterns will cause a droughts and with hot temperature and dry conditions will cause wildfires. I think that Public transport is a good thing it helps get places faster in a large quantities but a lot of company are trying to stop transport like Koch brothers because there company manufacture asphalt,gasoline, tires and seat belts so they can make more money and now a days the government doesn't spend as much on public transport and all of the location are old and not up to date and they need to fix that
I think the ancient style was better i think now a days you can't walk to places and in the old days all your needs were close to you like stores,restaurants and family. In the modern day you can't go anywhere with out car now biking and walking are less common and the government spend more money roads and highways then biking areas or sidewalks.
