Environmental reasons reducing inequalities 90784. People's Climate March London. 29th NOVEMBER 2015:
March 7th 2015. 2015 is a pivotal year.
With the UK general elections and COP21 climate talks in Paris on the near horizon, CCC, along with its UK allies, are organising a mass creative climate action on March 7th 2015. 'Inequality is not just bad economics – it’s bad for the planet too' When we are in the midst of economic strife, as we saw in 2008, the health of our environment often gets shunted down the priority list by tough-talking governments.
Environmental problems are often characterised as oppositional to raising living standards. Whaling Information and Whale Hunting Facts - WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Whaling is cruel and the demand for whale meat is falling.
But, despite bans on commercial whaling and the trade in whale products accepted by most countries, whaling is still carried out by Japan, Norway and Iceland, who kill 2000 whales between them each year and also continue to trade in whale products – it has to STOP. Once it became apparent that the numbers of whales being killed were putting whale populations under threat, a ban on commercial whaling (hunting for commercial profit) was introduced in 1986 by the body that regulates whaling – the International Whaling Commission. However, over 30,000 whales have been killed since the ban came into effect because of loopholes that have allowed some countries to carry on whaling. The International Whaling Commission currently allows Norway to hunt under an ‘objection’ to the ban, and Japan uses a loophole which allows countries to hunt whales for ‘research purposes’.
Frequently asked questions about whaling. UK average sources. The table summarises other estimates of UK average emissions (tonnes per person per year).
Some sources give merely the CO2. Others include methane and nitrous oxide greenhouse gas emissions converted into an 'equivalent' quantity of CO2 ('equivalence' being according to standard formulae), and so give a total as tonnes CO2 equivalent per person per year. There is reasonable agreement with our estimate of 9.84 tonnes CO2 per person per year, and with our estimate of total greenhouse gases of 13.4 tonnes equivalent per person per year (given on our Basic information page.
The range of figures reflects the difficulties in calculating an accurate up-to-date average figure, as follows. Five Unexpected Ways That Wildfires Affect Wildlife, Ecosystems of Forests.

Mary Robinson: Why climate change is a threat to human rights. 10 Current Environmental Issues. It is high time for human beings to take the ‘right’ action towards saving the earth from major environmental issues.
If ignored today, these ill effects are sure to curb human existence in the near future. Our planet earth has a natural environment, known as ‘Ecosystem’ which includes all humans, plant life, mountains, glaciers, atmosphere, rocks, galaxy, massive oceans and seas. It also includes natural resources such as water, electric charge, fire, magnetism, air and climate. Engineering developments are resulting in resource depletion and environmental destruction. Modern technologies used in the engineering and manufacturing industry have a major impact on our life in past few years. Engineering and manufacturing industry have increased the use of materials like metals, plastic, oil and rubber. Crucial environmental issues are no more a blame game. Here are 10 significant current environmental issues, where human beings play an important role in its cause.
