HOW DO OTHER COUNTRIES RESOLVE AIR POLLUTION OVER THE WORLD?
1. In The United State and Japan.
In order to protect the resources and environment in Vietnam, we have to learn from The United State and Japan. Vietnam need to make changes to it’s new approach.
America is headed for green economy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental protection science and have clear plans according to the stage.
Firstly, people have to understand plans. Secondly, there is scientific intervention. Finally, follow the plan already. However, each regions has different plans.
For example, regions need to protect source water will have own plans, protected land or maintain biodiversity for each land type.
2. The United State follow the trend to save energy, using solar energy is popular.
Since 2010, the average cost of solar PV panels has dropped more than 60% and the cost of a solar electric system has dropped by about 50%.
Markets for solar energy are maturing rapidly around the country, and solar electricity is now economically-competitive with conventional energy sources in several states, including California, Hawaii, Texas, and Minnesota.
Moreover, the solar industry is a proven incubator for job growth throughout the nation. Solar jobs have increased about 123% since November 2010, with nearly 209,000 solar workers in the United States.(1)
PV can also be installed on rooftops with essentially no land use impacts. Concentrating solar power (CSP) is the other method for capturing energy from the sun, and seven southwestern states have the technical potential and land area to site enough CSP to supply more than four times the current US. annual electricity demand.(2)
Technological advances and innovative solutions are still needed to increase efficiency, drive down costs, and enable utilities to rely on solar for baseload power.(3)
3. There are Biogas systems provides clean energy in agricultural production and breeding larger scale.
Manure, organic waste from livestock will be turn into gas and through the impure filter system.
Then, gas will be en ergy to generate electricity, use for transports, for daily activities, fertilizer for plants and other activities.
After that, CO2 will be plants absorb and supply oxygen for us. This is reusable energy.
The US is currently home to over 2,200 operational biogas-producing sites, according to the American Biogas Council, including 171 on-farm digesters, 1,500 digesters at wastewater treatment plants — only 250 of which use the produced biogas — 563 landfill-based energy projects (26 pipeline, 537 electricity), and there are well over 11,000 potential sites for new projects, prospects being eyed by both domestic and foreign developers.
Different states and regions will soon or have recently become home to new projects that produce a variety of end products, from electricity to renewable natural gas, based on available feedstocks, incentives, funding and power prices, as well as building momentum to reduce waste and create renewable energy.
The following is a roundup of some of the projects to come online or begin construction during the past year.(4)
4. Japan establish the legal framework and agency environmental management.
The Japanese government has issued strict laws about standard waste, water, air and pollution monitoring of toxic substances.
Specially enhance the sense of community on environmental protection. Each individual or organization must know to prevent and efforts to protect the environment.
Japan’s environmental policy and laws are based on the following three fundamental principles:
- The polluter pays principle. Examples of the application of this principle can be found at paragraph 1, Article 8 and Article 37 of the Basic Environment Act and other laws, including Article 2–2 of the Act on Entrepreneurs’ Bearing of the Cost of Public Pollution Control Works and paragraph 1, Article 7 of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act.
- The precautionary principle. Examples of the application of this principle can be found in the provisions of the Act on the Evaluation of Chemical Substances and Regulation of Their Manufacture, etc., and the Act on Confirmation, etc. and of Release Amounts of Specific Chemical Substances in the Environment and Promotion of Improvements to the Management Thereof.
The law has achieved certain success and resolve environmental issues in Japan.
Vietnam have to learn from Japan and The United State, we need to have the new changes after this:
- Remove method of old economic, towards a new development model that the developed countries are approaching is “ Green economy”.
- We need to develop ecosystem.
- Besides mining need to pay back to recover resources.
- For those non-renewable natural resources need to keep and investment.
- Change the perception of people, pay attention to moral, education when they were a kid.
- Harmonious combination between develop economic and protect environment.
- The Vietnamese goverment has issued strict laws.
5. In conclusion:
In summary, people need to have a sense of protection environment. Vietnamese people have to learn ways from The United State, Japan and other develop countries.
