On Friday, the Canadian dollar fell by a third of a cent to close at 83.21 cents US after Mulroney told The Canadian Press in an interview that interest rates would begin falling sometime after next week's federal budget.

On Monday, the dollar opened at 83.18 cents US and dipped as low as 83.10 cents before closing up slightly at 83.28 cents US in light trading. The dollar recovered after the Bank of Canada signalled it was ready to push interest rates even higher this week to bolster the dollar. “+I expect the next couple of weeks to be very volatile,”” said Mark Eller- beck, a dollar trader at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. In the Commons, Finance Minister Michael Wilson said financial markets simply misread the statement by Mulroney as a shift in interest-rate policy. Wilson told the Commons that the government remains committed to keeping interest rates high ‘until in- flation “There was pretation by the market of a very limited, edited version of what the prime minister said,’’ Wilson said. The Bank of Canada has been following a controversial policy of keeping interest rates at @ five-year high to cool the economy and prevent a surge in inflation — currently at an annual rate of about five per cent. t flap comes just as the Canadian economy is slowing. The Conference Board of Canada ued a report: Monday saying Canada will have the second worst economic performance of the seven major industrial countries. The board estimated that Canada’s economy will grow by 1.9 per cent, less than half the 4.5-per-cent pace projected for Japan. Only the United Kingdom, at 1.5 per cent, will grow slower. The Canadian dollar has fallen about three cents US since Jan. 12, when John Crow, governor of the Bank of Canada, signalled that in- terest rates were on their way down. Foreign investors, who had been enjoying interest rates almost five percentage points higher than those in the United States, decided the party was over and began pulling their money out of Canadian bonds.

It's a paradox that also extends to industry in this country. By DENNIS BUECKERT The Canadian Press Michael and Cathy Purves are ty — caring parents, weekend skiers and champion polluters. Their picturesque old house in Courtenay leaks energy like a sieve. It contributes to a sobering statistic: the energy used to heat and cool buildings produces 23 per cent of Canada’s carbon dioxide pollution. Michael, a meteorologist, is well aware that this” heat-trapping gas causes global warming. He hopes to install better insulation — soon City to Montreal, or from Calgary to Edmonton. Much of that travel is in short local trips. The paradox is inescapable. People worry about the environment, yet everyone in everyday life con- tributes to the problem. The same mix of good intentions and flawed prac- tices pervades Canadian industry. Inco, the giant nickel producer, is spending $500 million over the next five years to reduce acid-rain- causing emissions at its mines and mills in Sudbury, and the rejuvenated landscape around that Northern Ontario city is a symbol of hope. But there are less happy symbols, like the beluga whales that wash up dead on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, their carcasses glutted with industrial chemicals. “What is a beluga whale worth?”’ asks Deniel Green, a biologst who heads Societe pour vaincre la The Purveses put about 13,000 on their 1979 Chev last year. For family outings, they relyona gas-guzzling van The result? The velficles spew out 3.6 metric ton- nes a year of carbon dioxide — almost twice the Chev’s weight “1 keep the car well tuned so the gas consumption isn’t high,"’ says Michael. “*We try not to use the van much, but for longer trips we need a larger vehicle."” Cathy, pausing from the frenetic demands of a household with four children ranging in age from five to 13, says she avoids plastic garbage bags. “Have you heard they take 100 years to decompose? But she’s obliged to burn waste paper because there’s no paper-recycling program in the'area FALLING SHORT Despite the Purves’s good intentions, they admit that they often fall short in their desire to respect the environment. Most Canadians face a similar problem: how to change—theit—lifestyle and help shake off _ their reputation as the most wasteful people on earth Canadians use more energy per capita than any other people in the world. About 40 per cent of the energy produced by a conventional oil furnace goes up the chimney, say Energy Department experts. The average Canadian household throws out one tonne of garbage a year, a world record. Each Canadian car is driven an average of 294 kilometres a week, roughly the -distance-from- Quebec (Society to O P , Quebec's most outspoken environmentalist group. Factories and power plants still spew millions of tonnes of chemicals and metals into Canada’s air and water. On the Prairies, farmers use 32 times as much pesticide and herbicide as they did in the early 1950s. Those chemicals, many of them considered a threat to wildlife and perhaps to haman health, enter the water supply — and the food chain. TREES DWINDLE Across the country, forests — a cherished symbol of Canada’s natural bounty — are being cut faster than they are being replanted, according to Auditor General Ken Dye. ‘And poll after poll shows that Canadians are worried about their future and that of their children. Indeed, the rise of concern about the environment is one of the most spectacular shifts in public opinion in modern times. “I think it’s a profound change,"’ says Adam Zimmerman, the k id of Forest Inc., which runs pulp mills and logging operations across the countrty. Zimmerman says he understands what motivates the environmentalists. “You see what is happening as these cities like Toronto and Vancouver spread like cancer, gobbling everything in their way, creating stress and chaos. continued on page C3 FAMILIAR PROTEST .

Environmentalist groups are growing fast in membership and influence. VANCOUVER (CP) — Once, they were seen as eccentrics subsisting on the fringes of society on a meagre regimen of bean sprouts and oatmeal. No more. Today’s environmentalists — often more comfor- table in a boardroom than in a protest march — are smack in the middle of Canadian life. Their ranks include business executives in pin- stripes; union officials and respected scientists. “Our role no longer is to be the voice crying in the wilderness, saying there’s an environmental problem,”’ says Janine Ferretti, articulate president of Pollution Probe, the Toronto-based group with 45,000 members: —* “Everybody knows that there’s a probiem. Our role is bringing out solutions.” There are 1,800 environmental groups in Canada, with a total of as many as three million members, the ‘Canadian Environmental Network estimates. That figure includes, some overlap, since some people belong to more than one group. But it’s clear that major expansion is under -way..All the major groups tell of surging membership rolls and donations “I's incredible,” says Julia Langer, executive director of Friends of the Earth of Ottawa, with a broad smile. That group’s membership has increased sixfold in the past 22 years, and now stands at 16,000. “The phone never stops.”” In its early days, the environmental movement was seen as being headed by angry people with long hair and weird clothes, unconventional notions and sometimes unreliable information. Today's leaders have precise scientific data at their fingertips, sometimes obtained by their own highly touted researchers Langer and Ferretti, for example, both hold degrees in environmental sciences, a discipline barely known 20 years ago. Proof of the respectability of environmental con- cerns can be found in recent marketing trends. Giant retailers like Loblaws are turning so-called green products into big business. Fast food chains like McDonald's are taking out full-page newspaper ads to explain their environmental Policies.
