with focus on emission reduction and the USA Congress 1965 passed, “Pollution and Control Act”, hence becoming the first Act to benchmark on setting industry standards. Following 1970, Congress again passed the clean Air Act as the automobile industry is growing fast and high competitive hence having these laws enacted in curbing behavior change and instilling sense of responsibility to the users and the automakers, with focus on sustainability of the environment.

Legislation and regulation regarding immigration into Canada have been major issue and a growing topic of discussion in recent years. Canada has a population of 33 million and has needed a large influx of immigrants to help support the workforce. With more skilled immigrants arriving to Canada, more would be able to contribute to the economy of Canada. In 2002, the number of immigrants was 229,000. In 2015, Canada has welcomed over 285,000 new citizens to live in Canada. Just last year in 2015…
affordably reduce carbon emissions on US soil through the restriction and regulation of energy production. The Clean Power Plan should not become a law because it goes to extreme measures in order to achieve a nominal environmental impact, all at the cost of destroying the energy sector. While it has numerous flaws, most significant downside to the CPP is its impact on the energy sector. The bill calls for all energy plants to either upgrade their machinery to meet new CO2 emission regulations,…
global warming. However, the impacts of high emission don’t fall on these countries. According to the report from the Center for Global Development (2015), the developed countries are responsible for 79% of global CO2 emission. In contrast, the developing countries suffer most from the impacts of global warming: in the last 25 years, 95% of fatalities from…
Of all the means through which humans perceive the world, sight is perhaps the most important. It is our primary means of understanding the physical nature of our surroundings, both immediate and distant. It is only natural that the great thinkers of antiquity were curious about the nature of vision, and inseparably, that of light itself. In the manner characteristic of ancient science, many common ideas about optics were “hit or miss”, so to speak. Certain Greek thinkers had hypotheses about…
basis of five key indicators: energy, water, waste, CO2 and emission of solvent” (Volkswagen Well Built: Production. Retrieved from http://en.volkswagen.com/en/company/responsibility/environmental-responsibility/production.html) Environmental indicator CO2 Emission From the bar charts (see figure 1), we could find both direct CO2 emission and total CO2 emission per vehicle are reduced year by year. However, the total CO2 per year emission per year have risen “due to increased consumption of…
Genferal 1 – environmental impacts from the use of automobiles has centered on emissions, climate change and fuel economy. 2 – About three-quarters of the average car can be recycled. 2 - Eighty to 90% of a vehicle’s environmental impact comes from fuel consumption and emissions that lead to air pollution and greenhouse gases. Brake Debris and Tire Particles 1. Substances raise toxicity levels in nearby soilds and in the case of timre particles, lead to the formation of black carbon. Cause…
Introduction – Environmental Protection - Environmental Victory This reflective paper will address several issues associated with environmental protection and the perceived environmental victory of a Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision to support stricter emissions controls. First, it will discuss how the law must balance competing scientific opinions and make decisions in light of uncertainty. Next, this paper will discuss the different stakeholders who have concern in this situation, delineating…
of Concerned Scientist reported that USA released approximately 5490.63 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. In addition, the USA has one of the highest per capita for carbon emission, which is around 17.62 metric tons of carbon dioxide per person. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that carbon dioxide emissions are causing the gradual heating and change of the Earth’s climate since it is a greenhouse gases that locks in the thermal energy from the sun. the heat caused by the gas…
