diamondprincessashley asked:


1) How do marginal control costs and marginal damage costs determine pollution policy?

2.) Compare emission charges (tax) & transferable permits n terms of cost-effectiveness & desired level of reduction?

3.) How does the assignment of property rights help to solve environmental problems? Give an example. (5 lines)

4.) The US sells its surplus foodgrains to poor countries vide PL480, which allows payments in local currencies. These currencies are practically non-tradables, so the PL480 grains turns out to be a free gift. Is this an efficient and ethical way to dispose of the agri surplus?

5.) Is privatization an economically and environmentally viable solution for forests?

    Air Pollution

    We can certainly prevent further environmental crisis through a disciplined lifestyle and the promotion of laws that protect the common good.To mention a few we must consider the avoidance of toxic materials,the proper disposal of garbage,the checking of pollution in the atmosphere and in the water,the preservation of our forest and plants.My personal message is that responsibility for the proper waste mgt.is not solely the government responsibility but it is everyone responsibility.Nature does not need us we need mother nature more.
    the greed for profit sometimes pushes peaple to simply disregard the care of the environment.In the meantime that we experience environmental crisis,we can simply keep pointing an accusing finger to one another .We have to reach out to the victims of all these calamities doing waht we can and sharing what we have to alleviate their suffering.Its time for human solidarity and charity.
    hopefully the concern for the preservation of the environment does’nt start and end on earthday as its something that involves all of us in our daily lives.We will help educate peaple especially the young on what is currently happenning to our environment.Makes everyone more aware of our responsibilities to preserve our environment.
