dishwashers and therefore water wastage is less likely. However, most people in LICS buy their water from informal venders and therefore it’s hard to know whether this water was extracted correctly which means that water is more likely to be wasted during the process. Although it is unlikely that individuals in LICS can overuse clean water supply, total use as a whole country could also contribute to water resources being drained. In developed countries such as USA and UK the figure shows that GDP is high and water costs are low. As water is inexpensive people in HICS have a much better quality of life as the can use water for luxuries and every home has access to running water.
Companies are forced to create safer products for the public to use, and also learn to make better with fewer resources. Corporations must invent new ways to cut down on their waste and work with less to create more. Corporations work diligently to cut down their use of water and electricity and other essential needs. They have educated the public about the importance of recycling used products and keeping their environment clean. Over consumption has led to many cures and medicines being created, and has made the world a better and safer place then it once was.
During the last few decades, many thinkers from different disciplines have been searching for a new ethic to confront environmental ethics issues with – an ‘environmental ethic’. Whether religious or secular in nature, this must be able to define the environment and the proper relationship that should exist between human beings and the natural world. Today growing concerns about global warming (the effects of which global dimming, until now, has lead to a gross underestimation) underline the general acceptance that environmental preservation is an obligation both for present and future generations.
It can be linked to other factors such as increased life expectancy and a decrease in birth rates that happened in the same time frame, which were also influential on the consequences of decreasing death rates. One of the reasons why death rates have decreased in the last 100 years or so is largely because of medical improvements that have been a consequence of technological advancements. These advancements in technology have allowed new treatments to be found to cure diseases that were previously incurable and deadly beforehand. This has also paved the way to new illnesses being discovered and cures being found for them, which also ties to medical improvements and the decrease in death rates. The introduction of the NHS in 1945 by the Labour government gave people, who previously were unable to access treatment for illnesses, free access to medical care when they needed it.
There has been another increase in improved medical practice as recently, bypass surgery and other similar developments have reduced heart disease and its related deaths by one third. Public health measures and environmental improvements are more reasons for the falling death rate since 1900. There have been improvements in housing (including better ventilation, and less overcrowded houses), improved sewage disposal methods which helped increase the level of hygiene in areas and purer drinking water which raised the health of citizens. Also, the Clean Air Acts reduced pollution which impacted on the number of deaths. Other social changes which are more reasons for the decline
However in the long-run, this price raise is not enough to make people quit smoking so since cigarettes are a demerit good, it will have a negative effect on the environment and it will increase the number of health issues from second hand smoke, not to mention the high unemployment rate and less taxes for the government.

In the view of the government this would have a good impact on society because it reduced the amount of children being put up for adoption, less people would go through back street abortion which was a very dangerous procedure and the government also believed it would reduce the amount of poverty. Although it seemed like the legalisation of abortion was a positive
This process will not only avoid the cost of buying material over and over again, but also save the trees from being cut down. The No Impact Project was not only just to reduce the pollution on earth but also, make a positive impact on the
The government gives out a lot of tax credit to help assist with the output of different air pollution like they give a tax credit for windows which would reduce the use of lights, and heat or air condition system running and burning a lot of pollution. Next they have put a lot of effort into the hybrid and electrical cars which are more environments friendly. The light bulbs are another way as they are more energy efficient which once again helps reduce the electrical company output of carbon dioxide. Us as human have to do our part also in saving our environment like instead of getting the plastic bags at the grocery store get one of the reusable bags, instead of throwing everything in the garbage start to recycle bottles, cans, paper, and plastic. Stop littering because if you litter by a forest it can start a fire if gets to hot and lighting strikes the paper and start a fire.
The quality of health care that patients receive would be greatly reduced. Nationalizing health care reduces patient and doctor flexibility leading to poorer treatment of patients. Patients are not likely to curb their doctor visits and drug costs if it is free, so total costs of health care will be several times what they are now. In order to cut costs of health insurance price and salary controls on drugs, medical equipment, and medical services will probably be put into effect. People who live in countries that have nationalized health care have to wait on very long waiting lists before they are treated sometimes.
