The PPP required that the polluter has to bear the cost of complying with environmental
standards, which are predetermined by public authorities. If the polluters have to pay for the
cost of any pollution they cause, market forces will then encourage them to change their
activities either by introducing new pollution control technologies or by switching to more
efficient production process. For instance, everyday individual households, firms and industries
turn-over million tons of tap water into wastewater, which requires proper treatment before
disposal. Prior to the introduction of sewage charges, the cost of sewage collection and
treatment came entirely from the public revenue. The disadvantages of such an arrangement
are that the public is unaware of the cost of the sewage services and therefore has no incentive
to reduce water pollution.
Reaction:
UPP concept has conflict with certain social objections, example all the home should be
connected to electricity supply, telephone service, sewage and be closed to public transport. The
provision of universal services to all or most location with high marginal costs beyond the reach
of most consumers is conflict with this principle. The resolution of these conflicting principles is a
matter of public policy. However, this principle is more easily applied to the consumer of public
services involving the collection and treatment of effluents.

This principle is seeking present and ease environmental stress before conclusive evidence of
damage exists and adopts policy when raw evidence is available. However, this lack of full
scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to
prevent environmental degradation. Therefore, the principle is essential for the protection of
environment and human health by implementing in the field of production and distribution of
energy resources.

The terms effectiveness and efficiency have a lot to do with a business entity. Every business
stands to attain its predefined goals and objectives while particularly stressing on its ability of
maintaining its survival and profitability constantly. In doing so, the effectiveness and efficiency
counts greatly. On the one hand on the basis of these two terms a business goes to heighten its
level immensely, on the other hand it bears losses in the absence of the results being associated
with effectiveness and efficiency. It is thus essential for a business to maintain effectiveness and
efficiency continuously. What in brief may be construed is that effectiveness is attained by doing
right things, whereas the efficiency is maintained by doing things in the right manner. It would
thus be of great value to maintain both to increase the value of a business entity.

complete a job assigned on time and in best way while authority is the power to give orders and get
it obeyed or in other words it is the power to take decisions. Authority and responsibility are closely
related and this principle states that these two must go hand in hand. It means that proper
authority should be delegated to meet the responsibilities.
He describes that this is an important and useful principle of management because if
adequate authority is not delegated to the employees they cannot discharge their duties with
efficiency and this in turn will hamper the achievement of the organizational goal. Sometimes the
relation between management and employees is also badly effected by non-delegation of proper
authority.
Reaction:
It is the responsibility of all persons, corporations and states to maintain the ecological
processes. Further, access to environmental resources carries attendant responsibilities to use
them in an ecological sustainable economically efficient and socially fair manner. There are
positive impacts of this principle like, no misuse of authority, helps to complete job effectively and
efficiently, individuals can be held accountable, and systematized and effective achievement of
organizational objectives.
Reaction:
It is the duty of all the persons to participate in collectively environmental decision-making
activities. Some participation areas are related to the use of trees and other plants, minerals,
soils, fish and wildlife for purposes such as materials and food as well as for consumptive and
non-consumptive recreation. The second issue concerns solid waste i.e. garbage, construction
and demolition materials and chemically hazardous waste etc. The third issue of participation is
related to pollution generating activities.

Reaction:
If we are to continue to enjoy the high quality of the natural environment of which we are
stewards and the resulting high quality of life, an environmentally sustainable economic strategy
is required. This strategy must integrate, rather than trade off, environmental, social and
economic interests. It must push for growth and development at the highest and best available
standards and it must change the way we perceive our natural surroundings.
