POLLUTION MANAGEMENT MODEL

Humans have polluted the environment through the process of extracting needed resources in order to further develop  our economic well-being we are found upon.  This realization has led us to construct pollution management models in order to create awareness of the situation, and in turn, appeal to ethical and moral duties to the environment.  The PPM model seeks to manage pollution in a three step complex process: replace, regulate, and restore. Replace seeks to replace the problem with outside sources of help. Regulate seeks to the implementation of norms to stop or reduce harming pollution emissions. And finally, restore, seeks to fixing it.

Model as follows:

Process of pollution                                                                               strategies for reducing impacts

Human activity producing pollutant	Replacing strategies
Release of pollutant to environment	Possible regulation
Impact on environment	Restore options

That being said, it is vital to state that these actions show concern towards the environment.  And that it has emerged due to the realization that human dependence on the environment is inevitable. In addition, this proves that human concern on the system rather than on individual things is being performed, just as Aldo Leopold stated in his essay “The land ethic”
