Hello to everyone, I am a bit late on submitting my monthly article on eco policies, I would like to establish for my nation. Some such policies, I think of as below. APPOINT ECO MINISTER AND OFFICERS BASED ON POPULATION Make it a global law to appoint an Eco Minister for every 1 million people and supported by one Eco officer for every 5000 or 10000 people. There should also be Eco Police and Eco Courts of Law in every village where people causing damage are punished and corrected TO BUILD SUSTAINABILITY OF LIVES. SAVE THE WORLD FROM E-WASTE: The world is getting drowned by the huge e-waste from using too many electronic devices and changing them frequently. Globally recycling facilities need to be created to be able to absorb the e-waste and recycle them efficiently. The funds for such facilities have to be partly met by allocation from government resources and partly by levy of duties on newer electronic products, especially the ones used for domestic luxury. CARBON TAX: Introduce a Carbon Tax for each individual and companies. By levying a carbon tax on each item according to the contents of each item, we can make people pay higher for more environmentally damaging items. Similarly by levying higher costs in cities, we can make people prefer smaller cities and bring in all round development. Carbon taxes collected can be used for funding research to manufacture eco-friendly products. SPREAD ENVIRONMENTAL CARE USING MUSIC and TV: Music soothes everybody’s mind. Use the television and film media to introduce at least one song in every movie highlighting care for sustainable life on Earth. All world news channels should spend a few minutes of air time to spread UN or other NGO publicity materials on environmental issues during news time. Only companies that sell sustainable products should be allowed to buy TV air-time. OPEN ECO FREE ZONE AND SUPPORT ECO FRIENDLY INNOVATIONS Eco free zones should be opened in every country. The eco free zones should be model cities working on 100% eco-friendly and long term sustainability principles. The benefits and subsidies given to such eco free zones should enable the companies therein to make new green innovations and sell eco-friendly products. |

Hello Neha it seems like you have read quite a lot of reading materials so far as I can see how much you have thought about national envirommental problems and feasible solutions for them.
Overall environmental pollution management has been suggestes really well in this report and I do also agree on carbon tax implementation since tax is basically what can warn people or make them be aware of something definite :)
Thanks for your report!

Hello Neha, good suggestions on environmental policies!
It would be really nice to have an expert authority who can actually look at environmental matters in an integrated overall view with the proper decision-making process.
With this authority, it would be even nicer if we could practically implement all the policies that you've posted!
Thanks for the report :)

Hey there Neha!
Your policy (ies) establishment is quite unique, especially how you have opted to have an Eco minister for every million citizen etc. But I do understand where you are coming from with is. That a person my conduct their work swiftly and with much more attention to the people if he/she has a selected few to serve.
I really like that lst to innovations you have proposed, because the television is one form of community that spreads awareness quickly. Moreover, music is a form of communication as well and it is widely used in our century.
We should definitely have more eco free zones as this will allow that Earth an area where it is not exposed to external anthropogenic activities.
Thank you Neha for your report... I enjoyed reading it!
Yours sincerely
Rosa Domingos!

Thank you Neha for your beautiful report.
I really loved your concept of Eco Officers. I feel it would be a great turnaround eco officers can be formed who truely work on rules and regulation to maintain our environment and punish the wrong doers. Awareness campaigns, carbon taxation and eco zone are also an important eco policies.
I believe that we must make our government focus on eco policies so that we can build a sustainable and green future for us.
Keep writing great reports Neha.
Best Wishes from your friend from Nepal
Green Cheers.
Yours,
Kushal

Hello Neha! As the saying goes, better late than never ) Thanks for the interesting report, it certainly deserves attention. It has a lot of interesting ideas. But what I can't agree with is the introduction of a carbon tax. I am afraid that measure is not applicable to developing countries where per capita income is already very low.
