Abstract
Description: Canadians are getting sick from toxic substances in the air, food, water, and consumer products. In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier: A Prescription for Stronger Canadian Environmental Laws and Policies听(UBC Press, 2015), David Boyd sets out to remedy Canada鈥檚 environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then compares Canada鈥檚 environmental laws and policies with those in the US, Australia, and the EU, delivering a provocative diagnosis of the causes of Canada鈥檚 second-rate standards. Finally, he prescribes legal remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the world鈥檚 environmental leaders while delivering substantial health and economic benefits.听
