Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The types of energy used and produced, where it comes from, its costs, the jobs created, and the reliability and affordability of supply, are all important factors to consider when examining the relationship between energy and economy. [...] Health and Environmental Indicators The production and consumption of energy, regardless of the source, always has some impacts on human health and the environment. [...] It is hoped that the development of these institutional indicators will strengthen the role of the Nova Scotia government both in setting the rules and targets for a sustainable energy system and in ensuring that these rules and targets are implemented, supported by financial instruments, and enforced when necessary. [...] Conclusions and Recommendations The evidence presented in this document shows quite clearly that Nova Scotia is not making significant or adequate progress towards sustainability in its energy system, and that the production and use of energy are the leading causes of a number of serious environmental problems. [...] Equally importantly, the current rate of non- renewable energy consumption must be drastically slowed to delay the advent of peak oil production and the end of cheap non-renewable supplies, and to decelerate and then reverse the serious environmental consequences of fossil fuel combustion including climate change and air pollution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran journalist Jim Lotz tells the history of how the forests of the province have been both ravaged and occasionally preserved over the centuries. It begins with the Mi'kmaq people who relied on the woods for game and useful products. Green Horizons then traces the history of the forests in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the ethic of "cut and run" ran rampant, destroying huge numbers of trees as did massive forest fires. The story moves on to the time of saw millers who "took the best and left the rest." In the first decade of the twentieth century, concern arose among those in the forest industries that the province would run out of wood to sustain them. The first scientific survey by a forester revealed the deplorable state of the province's woodlands because the government's policy towards the forests was one of benign neglect. Green Horizons also recounts the history of the past 50 years in Nova Scotia's forests through interviews of those directly involved in forestry. Environmentalists add their perspective to the debate that still rages today about fair use of our forests. In recent years, the woodlands of Nova Scotia have been the scene of conflicts and tensions between those who seek to preserve them and others who simply see trees as sources of wealth, to be cut down and made into commercial products. Born in Liverpool, England in 1929, Jim Lotz has held 25 different jobs ranging from grouse beater in the Scottish Highlands to glacial meteorologist in the Arctic. Coming to Canada in 1954, he was fired from his first job (for just cause) and crashed his car on same day. Since 1960, he has been actively engaged in community-based development and has taught at the Coady International Institute. His travels in search of learning have taken him from Alaska to Slovakia and from the High Arctic to Lesotho. He has written 20 books.

Book excerpt: Physical account Estimates of the land area suitable for crops and tame pasture in Nova Scotia range from a low of 138,000 ha (current land in crops and pasture) to a high of 1.6 million ha (including potentially suitable land not currently in crops and pasture). [...] Estimates of land area suitable for crops and tame pasture in Nova Scotia range from a low of 138,000 ha (land in crops and pasture in 2006) to a high of 1.6 million ha (including potentially suitable land not currently in crops and pasture) (Tables 1 and 2, and Figure 1 below). [...] The 35% estimate has been extrapolated by the author to the total farm area data for the 1921 to 1971 period to provide estimates of the land in crops and pasture during that earlier period. [...] Therefore, the shaded statistics on land in crops and pasture for the 1921-1971 period are extrapolations by the author based on the percentage of farm area in crops and pasture in 2006. [...] In 2006, 35% of Nova Scotia's farm area was in crops and pasture, and the percentage of farm area in crops and pasture remained between 32% and 36% for the period 1976-2001 (column 6 of Table 2).
