Describe three (3) environmental management principles and explain how you, as a student and young member of society, can contribute to the realization of EACH of these principles. With the increasing utilization of single use personal protective equipment (PPE), what environmental problem will we be faced with? What is the most appropriate environmental law that applies to this problem? Should the government ban the use of single use PPE? Why? What solution, would you propose, to this problem?
