A short (15min) presentation on examples of market based instruments for addressing environmental problems. Definitions, caveats and popularity are covered.
Market based instrument for pollution controlAbuzer Ansari
This document discusses different market-based instruments that governments can use for pollution control, including price-based instruments like taxes and subsidies, and quantity-based instruments like tradable pollution permits. It provides examples of each type of instrument and how they work according to economic theory. The document also discusses India's industrial pollution problems and the institutions it has established for industrial pollution abatement, including various environmental laws. In conclusion, it argues that market-based instruments are important for curbing environmental pollution during economic development while still allowing enforcement of regulations to improve the country's overall environment.
The document discusses several issues regarding plastic pollution in oceans:
- Tiny pieces of plastic can travel great distances and threaten ocean ecosystems as they do not easily degrade. Sea turtles often mistake plastic for food and ingesting just a dozen pieces can kill them. Over half of sea turtles and nearly all seabirds have consumed plastic.
- A floating device has successfully collected plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch for the first time.
- A boat made entirely of recycled plastic and flip-flops raised awareness of plastic pollution along African coasts.
- An Oregon nonprofit collects garbage on beaches and transforms it into animal sculptures to highlight how trash endangers ocean species.
The National Environmental Policy seeks to extend the coverage, and fill in the gaps that still exist, in light of present knowledge and accumulated experiences.

Transboundary pollution is pollution that originates in one country but causes environmental damage in another country by crossing borders through air or water pathways. It refers to pollution problems that are transboundary in scale, meaning an environmental issue originating in or contributed by one country that affects another country. Chief Seattle's quote from 1855 reflects that whatever is done to the natural world affects all parts of it, as all things are interconnected.
This document is a graduate report on environmental audits submitted for a course at the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology in Surat, India.

The Pacific islands were once paradises, with abundant resources and few cares for inhabitants. However, when white people arrived, they disrupted the islanders' way of life, introducing religion, laws, diseases, and other harmful influences. As a result, island populations declined rapidly as the people lost their carefree happiness and health. The missionaries, traders, soldiers, and administrators who followed exploited the islands and oppressed the native people. The document criticizes missionaries for coming with attitudes of superiority rather than guilt, given the harm their forefathers caused, and calls on them to wipe their slates clean.

boats which havebeen introduced recently.

While inside the island, there are no good roads but some roads which can be
accessed by foot, bicycle, and motorcycles arethere.
The roads are not good, thus sometimes it is not easy to ride using a motorcycle
because of too much sand on the road and bushy roads.
4. THE ROAD WHICH CANBE ACCESSED BY FOOT.
The people in the Island expressed need for tools like; slashes, hoes, rakes for
clearing the roads. Also if there are other modern possible ways of constructing
good roads in the Island it would be morehelpful.
They wish to have good boats of engine which could make navigation into the
island easy, in addition, if good rowing boats are provided it would be more
helpful for transport into the island.

missionaries to volunteer and visit the Island then teach their Church leaders and
members.
On the other hand, the population of Muslims is quite small but with an

due to many diseases, poor sanitation and lack of health service providers.
The people in Tisai are depending on local herbs for cure and treatment for
women in labor and other disease attacks on the people.
Women are at a risk of losing their lives or the lives of their babies because there

the water to find the good hospital on the other side of the lake at Ongino
hospital.
