1.Greenpeace Bill Cynthia. Volume 1 i )In 1971 Greenpeace
A 2022 Issue 1 campaign was established and
during this year they successfully
protested nuclear testing by the
United States which was threatening
the survival of Whales. Green peace
campaign has taken multiple legal
actions to stop excessive fishing in
the oceans since 1971 and continue
with the project today
(ii).The Greenpeace Project has
published articles such; false hope
why carbon capture won't save the
Planet(2004) this has educated
people about the issues of global
warming and has made more people
eager to form clean up campaigns,
recycle and switch to more
sustainable clean-energy
2. Environment Bruce Yandle Volume (i)National Air Quality and
and Efficiency 29 Emissions Trends Report which
Lovers reflects 1987 data, shows that since
 Issue 3, 1978, emissions of lead oxide have
p23-32 fallen by 88 percent, carbon
monoxide by 32 percent, sulfur
dioxide by 35 percent, and nitrogen
oxides have decreased 12 percent.
Hundreds of tons of contaminated
soil have been cleaned and harmful
insecticides and environmentally
offensive chemicals have been
banned.
(ii) Since 1980, EPA has cleaned
fewer than 35 sites. Some 1,200 sites
have been targeted, and more than
9,000 additional sites have been
identified that could be added in the
next ten years. In 1988, the average
cost of cleanup was about $20
million. Just the toxicological
assessment of a site, a step required
to determine how to mitigate the
waste dump, often runs to $5
million. Based on these costs, some
$24 billion will be needed to clean
the currently targeted sites. OTA
estimates that future costs could
reach $500 billion unless major
program changes are made.
