Transportation is the single largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Canada and anyone can help reduce their harmful effects by choosing sustainable transportation over car use. Transportation accounts for about 25 percent of total emissions, and Environment Canada has estimated that for every 2,000 litres of gasoline consumed, the average car produces 4,720 kg of carbon dioxide, 186.6 kg of carbon monoxide, 28 kg of volatile organic compounds and 25.6 kg of nitrogen oxides.

What is a stormwater management facility?

Stormwater management facilities include wet ponds, dry ponds, wetlands, underground storage chambers and other stormwater infrastructure implemented to drain stormwater runoff.

A stormwater management facility reduces volume, flow rates and pollutants from stormwater runoff.
