Freshwater is a precious resource

A British Columbian poll by the Vancouver Foundation and WWF-Canada shows that over 90% of British Columbians want protection of the environment to be a top priority in the province’s new water rules.

The poll, outlined in an article on the WWF website also shows that 2 out of 3 people feel that the current rules are not enough to protect against future sustainability threats.

These polls need to be carried out on a much larger scale. Since 94% of people in B.C. feel that nature, wildlife and animal protection is a top priority, maybe researchers should also ask the rest of Canada how they feel.
