a) How did the post-war environmental zeitgeist contribute to the construction of the PEI Ark, as described in the Trim (2016) reading?b) From the Trim (2016, p. 157) reading on the PEI Ark: “These ‘countercultural environmentalists’ […] were enamoured by the possibility of constructing whole systems incorporating man, machine, and nature within a single sustainable structure. In their view, such systems had the potential both to protect the environment and to realize the counterculture’s goal of a participatory society. [T]heir approach argued that technology had a deep impact on both the environment and society.” This is now called ecological modernization. Do you think the New Alchemists expected mass society to catch on? c) By the 1980s, Atlantic Canadians’ illnesses were increasingly linked to industry, such as Sydney Steel. Briefly, why do you think the provincial government of Nova Scotia “refused to acknowledge that environmental causes may play a significant role” and instead suggested “lifestyle factors, including heavy smoking, poor diet and genetic causes were responsible [when r]esearch revealed that Steel workers in Sydney were inhaling what could equal smoking 30 plus packs of cigarettes a day” (q.f. Pearstein, 1999)?d) We examined the reading, The Tar Ponds Kids: Toxic environments and adolescent well-being. Who are the Tar Ponds Kids? AND, What did the researchers want to find out? AND, Why did the researchers select a comparison group?e) Write one suggestion for future academic research on any the Tar Ponds Kids AND briefly justify how it could benefit the making sense of Atlantic Canada.
