At the heart of the story is Pollution Probe, an organization founded in 1969 by students and faculty at the University of Toronto. In its first year of operation, Pollution Probe confronted Toronto's City Hall over its use of pesticides, Ontario Hydro over air pollution, and the detergent industry over pollution of the Great Lakes. The success of these actions inspired the founding of other environmental organizations across Canada and led to the development of initiatives now taken for granted, such as waste reduction and energy policy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774828080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774828086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Ryan O'Connor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658921259263,"sku":"9780774828086","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-first-green-wave-ryan-oconnor-9780774828086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
