Environmental activities: the concept, principles and objectives

Modern humanity can no longer imagine life without the achievements of scientific-technical progress, but not all understand that at the moment all these achievements has provoked the emergence of a serious ecological crisis. Constant development of production capacities without considering the subtle influence any of his actions on the environment and the continuous pursuit of maximum profits has led to the fact that the planet's natural resources were largely depleted, the Earth's atmosphere has become much more polluted, disappeared a number of species of animals and plants, and there are plenty of other issues. It is for this reason, any environmental activity, which tries to maintain a balance.

What is a crisis?

The Ecological crisis is a tense state of relations of man and nature, which is characterized by a lack of conformity of the relations of production and productive forces in society ecological and resource potential of the biosphere. Thus it is necessary to understand correctly that this is a reversible state, and as the most active part here is the man himself, as it can prevent environmental disaster and that is what environmental protection activities. It should be noted that throughout the existence of our planet's environmental crisis has arisen repeatedly.

What is it?

The Crisis represents a different phase of development of the biosphere of our planet, which is a qualitative renewal of living matter (when some species die out and others emerge). The current stage of the environmental crisis affecting modern humanity, linked to the threat of global pollution appearing because the decomposers are not able or do not have time a natural way to ensure the purification of the biosphere from all sorts of artificial compounds that get into it. Environmental protection activities aimed at minimizing the consequences of such pollution and to regulate and control their appearance.

Basic concepts

There are several concepts of how the protection of nature. Thus, environmental management has several interpretations:

• Activities aimed at the preservation of global life-support systems of mankind.
• Complex regional, national, political, technological, local and community events aimed at rational use, preservation and further reproduction of the planet, as well as the adjacent space, which is in the interests of both existing and future generations.
• Integrated science, which developed the General concepts and methods of preservation and further restoration of nature's resources.

It is Worth noting that the notion of “environmental activities" closely enough applies the concept of “environment”, which includes a complex of measures aimed at the preservation of the natural and socio-economic environments of the person.

As one of the major components of the implementation of such activities is the most rational use of natural resources. In other words, is a system of activities whose main objective is providing economical exploitation of natural resources, as well as extremely efficient mode of reproduction based on the prospective interests of developing economy and preservation of human health.

General principles

The Environmental protection activities of enterprises and various communities based on certain regularities, which can be divided into a number of basic principles:

• Deeper study of all the phenomena and processes that are characteristic of a particular natural system and also for the combination of these systems and further including open patterns.
  
  Many people know that in the biosphere all organisms have a strong enough connection between them, whereby any changes in the environment, eventually lead to various metamorphoses, which due to their globality may even become irreversible. That is why, when organized environmental activities of enterprises, it is essential to build on the outcomes of the studies.

• Finding ways to restore the chemical elements in the natural cycle.
  
  This principle is entirely based on the law of conservation of substances, since nothing comes from nothing and cannot disappear without a trace. In this regard, in the process of creating any new chemical compounds in a mandatory manner provide the possibility of turning the resulting elements in the other compounds which can be converted into substances which are characteristic of natural complex compounds.
  
  Development of environmental activities is largely due to the fact that in the process of industrialization there are many types of substances that does not assimilate the natural environment, and in particular it relates to synthetic detergents, rubber andothers. All this leads to the fact that some of the atoms of different chemical elements is excluded from the natural cycle, causing serious damage to nature.

• The energy cost required to implement a particular activity, and the possibility of irreversible dispersion in the environment.
  
  The Various features of this principle are associated with the main manifestation of the law of conservation of energy, it is impossible to benefit, if it is not produced there is a cost, and if not to take into account the fact that a certain part of the energy can dissipate in the environment due to heat and other radiations. For this reason, in the process of organizing and carrying out further activities aimed at the protection of nature, extremely it is important to efficiently implement the corresponding production processes in strict accordance with the rules of carrying out of technological operations, ensuring environmental safety.

• Accounting for different devices, natural processes, characteristics of the flow of biological, biogeochemical and ecological processes, as the most rational and developed during natural evolution.
  
  The Environmental activity in Russia and other countries of the world, in accordance with this principle, provides not only extremely deep and detailed study of various natural ecological processes, but also mandatory registration, and the use of open patterns in the process of implementing various environmental protection measures and other activities.

Tasks

Activities in environmental protection activities has the following objectives:

• Providing agricultural and industrial complexes at this level in order to achieve minimal damage to the environment;
• Organization of the functioning of various enterprises so that their work caused minimal harm to humans and natural environmental processes;
• Adjusting the process of use of natural energy and material resources with the aim of increasing their efficiency and enhancing positive impacts on the environment;
• Save all notable or typical objects as living and non-living nature through the creation of wildlife sanctuaries, nature reserves or national parks different;
• A complex of works aimed at organisation of environmentally sound leisure and health of the population.

How is this ensured?

The nature conservancy is organized through the implementation of a number of preventive and active measures, while they are all quite responsible. Environmental activities in the form of preventive measures is complex, which makes it possible to create the ideal conditions to preserve the balance of nature in a certain territorial area. As an example of such work can highlight the conservation of natural landscapes, interesting science, or just valuable biocenoses, as well as various plants and animals.

The Active measures represent an encouraging conservation and the implementation of several actions aimed at elimination of consequences of negative impact of humans on any natural ecological processes. In particular, this includes fighting with a variety of pollutants that affect the air basin of the World ocean, as well as the individual elements of the hydrosphere and land resources. In addition, special attention is paid to the development of technologies of various manufacturing processes and transformation of ecological systems that would be more perfect from an environmental point of view, and would create the best environment for a person.

Economic-legal framework

Environmental safety – this is the main goal of an environmental activity. Such activities, without exception, are intended to achieve protection of present and future generations from the effects of the environment, which could be harmful to their health due to excessive contamination as a result of actions by humans or other natural disasters. It is worth noting that in Russia the organization of environmental activities is one of the most important components of human security.

Economic security

This provision is to achieve the most complete extraction and consumption of various natural resources with minimum labor and material costs expenditures necessary to ensure environmental safety for human and natural communities. In this case, the calculation of costs includes the costs for the extraction and processing of raw materials with the subsequent receiving of finished products for the restoration of various natural communities, and human health with a negative impact on the environment due to its significant pollution. In the majority of cases immediate benefit does not pay further costs.

Features of nature conservation in Russia

In the current legislation the basis for environmental policy includes the following principles:

• As the main priority is the health and human life, as well as providing the most favourable environmental conditions for work, living and recreation of people;
• Reasonable, from a scientific point of view, the combination of environmental and economic interests of society, which can provide a real guarantee of the rights of man on the natural environment which would be the most healthy and favorable for life;
• Rational use of all natural resources;
• Compliance with current environmental legislation with the inevitable penalty for any environmental violations;
• Transparency in the work of all bodies dealing with environmental issues, as well as close relationship with the population and the public in solving any problems related to the protection of nature;
• Cooperation with other countries in the field of environmental protection.

Legislation

In Addition, the law defines the right of every person to reside in a favorable and healthy environment, environmental conservation activity applies to him, that is, it must support the appropriate quality of this environment and protect its available methods. Ensuring the right for favourable environment at the expense of state control over the quality of the natural environment, as well as compliance with environmental legislation. One of the most important measures of environment protection is the implementation of proper environmental education and correct upbringing of each person, and this applies in particular to the younger generation.

The legislation sets out the main environmental goals of the state economic mechanism of its implementation and regulation of environmental quality, a plan for the appropriate examination and various environmental requirements currently in production.
