TEA paragraph （“ Tarmageddon”）

[honeycani]

      A Canadian journalist Andrew Nikiforuk’s impressive article “ Tarmageddon” that published on May 17, 2010 in the CCPA Monitor, author analyses the environmental impact of tar sands in Canada. He reports that tailing pounds (toxic waste released from the mines) is a nightmare to the nature. For instance, he illustrates that it contains chemical hazards that can kill fish and make cancers, including arsenic, cyanide, naphthenic acids, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. I used to think the government has great respect for the environment. However, I’m disappointed at them after I read this article because they are destroying the millions of hectares of forest to gain profit from tar sands. The government will pay for their horrible behavior one day.



question: Do you think which one is more important? environment or development of economy?

I think both of them are important, government should strike a balance between both.
