Carnivorous plants - like all plants - can make food from the sun's energy and carbon dioxide in the air and water from the ground. The insects that the carnivorous plants eat are devoured not for food but for the minerals they provide.
Ontario smog puts treaty at risk
Ontario smog puts treaty at risk The emissions from three of Ontario's coal-fired
power plants falls far short of U.S. pollution standards and is
jeopardizing the renewal of a cross-border smog treaty between
Ontario and New York. New York Attorney-General Eliot Spitzer
reminded Environment Minister David Anderson in a letter that he
promised the power plants would meet or exceed U.S. smog
requirements. "'It is beyond dispute that Ontario Power
Generation's coal-fired power plant's emissions also cause
considerable damage to public health and the environment on both
sides of our shared border,' he wrote." OCTOBER 6, 2000
