The Clean Air Act

Many companies switching to using Green raw

materials and bio degradable end products (waste) By 2015 all products listed on the Clean Air Act will

have this label on them:

WARNING : contains or manufactured with (the chemical

would go here.) For example chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs), a substance which harms public health and the

environment by destroying ozone in the upperatmosphere.

Initially adopted on 11 December 1997 in Kyoto,Japan and entered into force on 16 February

2005.

OBJECTIVE: Establish a legally bindinginternational agreement, whereby all theparticipating nations commit themselves totackling the issue of global warming andgreenhouse gas emissions.

Kyoto ProtocolKyoto Protocol


17/22

187 countries have signed and ratified the

protocol. Including 37 industrialized countries

committed themselves to a reduction of four

greenhouse gases by 5.2% from their 1990 levels

The Protocol allows for several "flexible

mechanisms", such as emissions trading, theclean development mechanism (CDM) and joint

implementation

SetbacksSetbacks

Lack of crucial scientific data regarding

emission US did not ratify the protocol

China did not agree to cut emission

Every country focused on own economicgoals, ignored adverse effects on environment

ConclusionConclusion

So long as industries are strictly development oriented,global warming will not reduce inspite of all theenvironmental summits.

It is predicted that by the end of 21st century the earthtemperature will rise by 6C

Companies should go ECO FRIENDLY using innovative

technology

We should be proud that India will cut its emissions by2020 as per statistics.
