The Supreme Court under Article 32 and the High Courts under Article 226 of the Constitution have passed a number of orders and directions for this concern. Like the conversion of all public transport in the Metropolitan City of Delhi from diesel engine to CNG engine on the basis of the order of the High Court of Delhi to ensure that the pollution level is mitigated and this is being totally observed for the last several years. Now only vehicles running on Compressed Natural Gas are given permission to ply on Delhi roads for public transport.
Louise Erdrich Bigogress, who is an environmentalist has quite aptly observed that "grass and sky are two canvasses into which the rich details of the earth are drawn." In 1980s, the courts paid special attention to the problem of environmental degradation and passed a number of directions and orders to make sure the that environment ecology, wildlife are saved, preserved and protected. Every day hundreds of thousands of industries are functioning without pollution control procudures. Lakhs of Indians work in mines and do hazardous work without proper safety protection. Each day lakhs of litres of harmful raw discharged effluents are dumped into our rivers and lakhs of tons of hazardous waste is simply dumped on the Earth. The environment around us, as a result become so degraded, that instead of nurturing us it is now poisoning us. In this context, in many cases, the Supreme Court has intervened in the issued and has issued many
“Could it be that we are supposed to be talking to the plants and animals, interacting with them, accepting the gifts they offer, and using them in ways that further their growth?”(Starhawk, 162). I feel this quote from “Our Place in Nature” is a great way to start the topic of how artists uses plant life in their work. It shows how artists might try to interact with the environment for ideas on the works that they come up. I feel also that they are trying to be one with the environment. I feel if you spend enough time in nature, you will build a strong connection with everything around you. This comment is justified when Starhawk said, “I can walk into any forest where the trees are strange and understand something about the relationships
Landscapes are complex phenomena. In addition to the assemblage of physical features on which geographers and others focused until the last thirty years or so, it is now widely accepted that landscapes reflect human activity and are imbued with cultural values. They combine elements of space and time, and represent political as well as social and cultural constructs.
Many cities in the U.S. are ramping up to develop an infrastructure that will support compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Though there are very few CNG-compatible, or even hybrid OEM passenger vehicles (Honda sells a CNG Civic and General Motors has started to produce a dual-fuel Chevrolet Impala), the market is growing for CNG powered fleet trucks. From long-haul tractor trailers, to regional or local same-day shippers, to garbage trucks, CNG is becoming a fuel of choice among companies who carry the cost of fuel as a major operating expense. Even in the second half of 2014 and now the first half of 2015, while oil prices are at their lowest in over a decade, CNG remains significantly less per gallon equivalent than diesel.
The rule of law is seen as being one of the most fundamental components of the UK constitution as well as being a principle that is concerned with restricting parliamentary action. Though the rule of law is seen to be a component in the constitution; the actual meaning of the rule of law has been very problematic to interpret. This is considerably down to the fact that it means different things to different people as since the nineteenth century, academics, politicians and judges have proposed diverse definitions and explanations in regards to the rule of law and the role it upholds in the UK constitution.
Pollution refers to impurity into the environment of particles which has harmful effect on health. There are many forms of pollution, like air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution which impact health and environment. High air pollution level is responsible for health issues in Delhi. Over the last few years, the level of pollution has changed significantly in India and specifically in Delhi.Due to increased traffic on roads, traffic movement is slow which forces vehicles to move in lower speed which reduces efficiency and emission level increases. Another cause of vehicular pollution is increase in number of diesel vehicles, which is also a major contributor to ai
It wasn’t until the early 1970’s that car manufacturers saw a need to restrict the pollutants from their automobiles. Thus came the advancements of new emission controlling components in the vehicles. There was the catalytic converter which changed carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, this change still resulted in pollution but significantly decreased the harm done. Next came EGR which is Exhaust Gas Recirculation and forces unburned gas from the exhaust back into the engine making the car far more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately the next thing to follow was a serious toning down of the power of the engines. The earlier thoughts were that bigger and more powerful were better, however these types of cars sent pollution caused by automobiles into an exponential growth. The internal combustion engine vehicles that are on the road right now account for the vast majority of the air pollution around the world. The electric vehicles, however, have zero emissions. If this proposal is passed, then the condition of the urban airways will be
The typical view of nature is a place that has been untouched. The connotation of nature is green, animals,
The above rule of equality is however not an absolute rule and there are number exception to it
Artists all over the world explore different concepts though their art. The environment is increasingly becoming an important topic of discussion; as well as a much more personal subject for everyone, let alone artists. Because of the increasing amounts of damage to the earth, many artists have participated in this movement in hope to show the public the beauty in nature. Three artists, in particular, express their concept of environment in a physical representation to be interpreted by their audience in all sorts of ways. William Robinson, shows the beauty of simplicity in everyday life, Nancy Holt allows her audience to interact with the beauty of being in nature and Andy Goldsworthy brings nature to his audience.
In Bangladesh there are more than two hundred environmental laws and several policies for the protection of the environment. But environmental destruction is increasing day by day. The state cannot protect the environment by legal rules and policies as long as the citizens do not practice reduce, reuse and recycle in their own consumer
The constitution of India through its directive principles of nation coverage (DPSP) mentions that “it's far the responsibility of the country to protect and improve the environment and to protect the forests and natural world of the country and bestow upon the citizens the responsibility to shield the environment”. In truth the implementation of DPSPs at once after independence changed into a difficult mission for government as there were many other problems that have been given precedence over the surroundings. to overcome the basic troubles of poverty, illiteracy, unemployment and to provide primary fitness care facilities, environment problems had been no longer for the reason that a great deal importance. with the intention to boom the
The author will investigate and analyse the topic under consideration by using observations from earth sciences, socio-legal studies, socio-economics and critical legal theories. And blend textual, and intentionalist approach to discuss the possibility of criminalizing extensive environmental degradation.
In today's society there is a great need for environmental protection. Things that happened during our parents and grandparents age have caused a great concern for our ozone, our air, and our environment. You constantly hear about the many sources of pollution, but we hardly ever hear about the solutions. In this paper I will present one possible solution to the air pollution problem that has been caused by too many automobile emissions being released into the air. This possible solution deals with switching from diesel gas, to fuel trucks and bus fleets, to natural gas. I will discuss how this switch would assist in the reduction of air pollution and in this way help the environment.
Economic development will damage the environment more or less, so the choice between the economic development and environmental protection has always been a difficult social problem that challenges many developing countries. China has been suffering by its air pollution for years because people burn too much fossil fuels with few regulations before it become a serious social problem for the whole country. United States as the top of developed countries is also not an exception. Burning coal to produce electricity has been an important economic source for Rust Belt and Appalachian states. However, coal is not only polluted the local, but also the pollutants blow via the wind to the downwind states. People who live in the downwind states are suffering the air pollution. Year 2014 was a big year for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because United States Supreme Court ruled to maintain the power of the EPA to regulate the pollutants including carbon dioxide, discharge from the power plants and even crossing the states lines. It was a good news for people who live in downwind states. Many people considered that it was a huge victory for Obama administration and EPA. The judgement of Supreme Court is completely reasonable. The case will be analysis in an ethical way. I believe that government as a social manager should have authority through EPA to regulate the pollution for public health.
With the creation of the Constitutional Court in the Constitution of 1991 of Colombia, this became the highest court of constitutionality. In practice this meant that from that moment the constitutional jurisdiction is special. The Constitutional Court as a Constitutional Court has competence know of actions of unconstitutionality of the legal norms that have the material force of law and at the same time, the power to review the actions of tutela.
