Without clean and sound environment it is not possible for animals including human being to live in the earth. So it is urgent to pay attention to environmental changes.
If it is ever possible to convincingly tie the increasing number and magnitude of extreme weather events to climate change brought about specifically via anthropogenic activities, an actual monetary value can be calculated from the damage amassed during and following such events. Additionally, subsidence is displacing humans and other species from entire islands and tidally impacted areas around the world--a very significant human cost that can certainly be calculated. Ignoring the ecosystem service value of wetlands and the consequential impact of atmospheric greenhouse gas loading, in the long run, has implications of contributing to perhaps trillions of dollars of damage globally.
“We’ll go down in history as the first society that wouldn’t save itself because it wasn’t cost-effective.” [Kurt Vonnegut, University of Oregon speech, 1990.]
An important topic where these costs can undercut the trajectories of national development. To combat pollution is needed to define and track the health effects of pollution, quantify the economic costs of these effects, and direct much-needed attention to environmental pollution as a risk factor for the disease.
Reasons for paying attention to environmental costs
Al-Hayali (1998) 1 argues that economic activity by environmental enterprises is a social responsibility and therefore the costs of environmental activities cannot be linked to profit-maximization objectives.
Heller argues that there are fundamental reasons for concern about environmental costs:
1. Environmental costs are significant and are increasing. In the United Kingdom, costs have been estimated at £ 14 billion for the business sector, of which £ 8 billion. Billion.
2. In 1995, the environmental costs of “Amoco Yorktown” for oil refining amounted to 22% of the operating costs.
3 - Environmental costs are widespread, multiple and diverse through the activities and activities of the enterprise.
4. Pay attention to environmental costs where not all products and processes causing these costs are equal
