Laws for environmental preservation The government has implemented new policies that have comprehensive rules to try to prevent the pollution to the environment. The State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) is in charge of coming up with laws. After the laws are drawn up, they await approval from the State Council. The purpose of SEPA is to circulate environmental laws and rules, gather information and statistics as well as contribute guidance on environmental problems. The Chinese government have propose the Cleaner Production Promotion Law in June 2002 to kick start demonstration plans for the management of pollution in major urban areas. Some areas are also deemed as priority regions such as certain river valleys. Laws on the conservation of energy While the country has to continue to develop and progress its economy, they must also preserve the environment and reduce pollution as much as possible. In order to prevent the exorbitant development of industries that use excessive amounts of energy and contribute a lot to the pollution of the environment, the authorities urge that the utility of land has to decrease. The authorities also has to appoint environmental requirements for upcoming projects while trying to curb the fast development of industries that consume too much energy. China plans to constrain these industries by modifying the export reimbursement, and bringing in more exports tax and lowering the limit on exporting. The chinese government has implemented a scheme to observe the emission of contaminants. However, the supervising system is not foolproof.. To discourage industries from releasing the harmful gas sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, the authorities has implemented large fines with respect t... ... middle of paper ... ... seen both as an important energy source to meet the demands of China’s growing electricity consumption needs and a way of taming the Yangtze river (which is known for its catastrophic floods). However, the controversial dam could also prove to be an environmental disaster, as there have been concerns raised regarding the accumulation of toxic materials and other pollutants from industrial sites that will be inundated after construction of the dam. The use of hydropower (and the dam) can also lead to other social costs such as the displacement of people and impact on fisheries. By 2025, the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity is expected to increase about 3% from the current percentage of a little over 1. If we can find a way to dispose of and properly handle nuclear waste, nuclear power can prove to be a very promising alternative energy source in future.
Central Idea: Nuclear energy only contributes a small amount to the world’s electricity yet it has hazards and dangers that far out-way its benefits. There are many other alternative power producing sources that can produce energy more efficiently and more safely than nuclear power plants can.
Not only is nuclear power friendly to the environment, but it is almost always available, and many countries are starting to use it more. Renewable energy sources like solar and wind en...
The U.S. and global world are in the state of epidemic environmental issues where global warming and climate change is a threat to our biodiversity. Globalization is advancement to the global world in helping our economy; however, it also produces a threat to our environment. One of the threats to our world is pollution. Three of the major types of pollution that are hazardous to our environment are air pollution, land pollution, and water pollution. Air pollution is a result of carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, arsenic, nitrogen dioxide, mercury dioxins, and leas being released into the air due to massive amounts of fuel combustion, industrial production, and amount of vehicles being used (Mooney, et al., 2015). The soaring levels of air pollution
The relationship between inheritance and environment is a constant bond that, taken together, will be the determinants of a person's behavior, of what will be and how it will be. The truth is that the destiny of a being is dictated by inheritance patterns from the moment of the conception of the individual, and after birth, the environment is a crucial factor in determining the development of the behavior of being, as is the raising in the infantile stage. The effects of heredity and the environment are difficult to separate, the mechanisms by which the environment operates cannot be described as accurately as inheritance. The environment is the one who determines the other fifty percent of the characteristic behavior and traits of being, not as physically as the genetic inheritance, but rather in attitudes, customs and traits in the environment where the being develops. The prenatal and postnatal environment plays a vital role in what a man is and will be. The incidence of nature and upbringing depends on multiple factors, but these two will be endlessly inseparable, they will always be taken hand in hand to determine an individual. A trait of behavior where the environment influences is the personality, which in addition to inheriting it is modified and joining with the environment where the person develops. We can conclude that it is
Today our society is using more energy than ever. With the increase in demand for energy, problems are presented that have to be addressed. One of the biggest and most prevalent problems is the need for clean, renewable, sustainable energy. On the forefront of these problems comes the following solutions: nuclear energy, hydro-electric energy, and photovoltaic energy. With the need of energy in today’s current world, exploring different ways of producing power are necessary. The differences and similarities of nuclear energy and alternative energy are important to look over and examine in depth, so that it is plain to see the positive and negative effects of energy production.
The population of China continues to rise at an exponential rate because of the prevailing economy. Ironically, China is known as one of the worst polluting cities because of its economic growth. Even though China residents have already been through many air pollutions in the past, citizens were shocked by the recent event. It is time for the Chinese government officials to step up to prevent the unstoppable air pollution by changing China into a “greener” country and saving millions of lives. While the economy is a top priority in China right now, Beijing citizens have to keep the balance between safety of their lives and fighting against the pollution.
In recent decades, air pollution has increasingly become a problem in modern cities. Air pollution is any type of gas released in big enough quantities that it becomes detrimental to human health. In the People’s Republic of China it has become one of the leading causes of death. High-levels of particulates and sulfur dioxide are recorded in many Chinese cities. These cities are often regarded as the most polluted in the world. Much of this pollution is generated by power plants and automobiles unregulated by the post-1978 reform era.
In recent decades, the harmful effect of human activities on the environment and the connection between environmental health and human well-being have become well known and of international concern . Therefore the need for governmental restrictions on environmentally harmful activities has become one of the main measures to tackle this concern .

Since the rise of environmental awareness, business and industry have always considered environmentalism a waste of time, only getting in the way of profits and production. From the perspective of business, environmentalists push for regulations and restrictions on businesses, which cost them more money and frequently restrict some of their practices. What business and the economy don’t know is that they can actually save money by being environmentally responsible, while protecting the very resources they depend on. The protection of the environment not only has intrinsic value, but also economic value. Business and industry, can also benefit.
Environmental protection is both an individual and government concern. Environmental pollution is experienced mostly in countries where businesses are advanced. This is true from the history course since in the past businesses were environmental friendly. Modern technology contributes to environmental pollution (Roach, 2003). The government should therefore come up with policies in order to protect the environment. Environmental protection is necess...

The relationship the Native Americans had with nature was different than the type of relationship we have with nature now. The Native Americans respected nature and took care of it, and they were very thankful of the land they lived on and the natural surroundings that they had. "Seventh generation sustainability, the idea that decisions should be considered for their impact on the seventh generation to come, inspired by the laws of the Iroquois." Taking this into account we should really think of Earth 's Energy Balance which is that our planet has a budget of how much energy comes into the planet, how much energy is lost in space, and how much is on Earth and its atmosphere. On the other hand we think what we are doing is best for us but
The environment today is not in a good condition, Climate change is evident, and oceans are getting polluted. Rainforrest's are decreasing in size due to deforestation and illegal logging. Animals are getting extinct due to the destruction of their habitats. Natural resources are being consumed at very large amounts, and get wasted. There are different ways these problems can be addressed, one option is environmental management. Environmental management focuses on conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats, and impact of humans on the environment. Conservation of natural resources is the smart use of the world's resources by humans, through this waste production is limited, and there will be less garbage in the world. By conserving
