  1. this is sad that our pollution is make there area bad it sounds like good place to be but what we have done to make the area bad thats wrong!i think that we should try to make less things to let people them to live happly. I mean they have short trees and the bears grow very very bigg and they eat carapo.So let the area be fresh

  2. I was suprised when I read the article. Who knew that a place as far away from the pollution as Kuujjuaq, could be affected? The chemicals may be slow and silent and make kids do bad in school. the people there have 5-10 times as much chemicals in their bodies as the people who live in the polluted cities.

  3. I too think it's sad that human impact is not just in the immediate area of pollution. When it's affecting areas so far away, we're looking at a serious problem. Analisa and Eubene, what do you think should be done?
