Finding The Middle Ground: The Use of Market Incentives to Protect the Environment
Because environmental resources—air, water, soil, ambience, and so on— are available at little or no cost, not surprisingly they are over-used. This means less clean air, clean water, uncontaminated soil, and fewer quiet environs than we should like. It follows that proper pricing will reduce the use of environmental resources by providing the correct incentives for firms, for organisations, an...
متن کاملAir pollution and watershed research in the central Sierra Nevada of California: nitrogen and ozone.
Maintaining healthy forests is the major objective for the Forest Service scientists and managers working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Air pollution, specifically ozone (O3) and nitrogenous (N) air pollutants, may severely affect the health of forest ecosystems in the western U.S. Thus, the monitoring of air pollution concentration and deposition levels, as well as studies focused on...
متن کاملRegional assessment of the response of the acid-base status of lake watersheds in the Adirondack region of New York to changes in atmospheric deposition using PnET-BGC.
Understanding the response of soil and surface waters to changes in atmospheric deposition is critical for guiding future legislation on air pollution. The Adirondack region of New York experiences among the most severe ecological impacts from acidic deposition. The region is characterized by considerable variability in atmospheric deposition, surficial and bedrock geology, hydrologic flow path...
متن کاملLack of basic amenities: indicators of health disparities in low-income minority communities and tribal areas.
North Carolina has numerous low-income minority communities and tribal areas where basic public health amenities are lacking. Disparities in clean air, safe drinking water, and toxin-free soil create human exposures that result in poor health, depressed property value, and more contaminated environments than are present in higher income communities.
متن کاملPlants + soil/wetland microbes: Food crop systems that also clean air and water
The limitations that will govern bioregenerative life support applications in space, especially volume and weight, make multi-purpose systems advantageous. This paper outlines two systems which utilize plants and associated microbial communities of root or growth medium to both produce food crops and clean air and water. Underlying these approaches are the large numbers and metabolic diversity ...
