i need to know about ethical dilemmas involed with the subsidy of lead free petrol?

Well the main subsidy goes to the Military that destroys governments who don't give us good trade deals.  The CIA started overthrowing people in the 50's after they absorbed tens of thousands of NAZI war criminals.  Look up Mohammad Mossadegh on WIKIPEDIA

Okay, I'm tempted to offer to put you out of your misery.\n\nThis is a big topic and you have to find a meaningful focus. Do you want to talk about the ethical debate? Do you want to discuss the legal issues? \n\nHere's one idea, since it's civics: Look at the one country where euthanasia is legal, Holland, and talk about whether the law there would be a good or bad model for the United States to follow. Is the enactment of such a law desirable? Would it be workable in the climate of the US given the polarization over the abortion issue? Is this something that could be enacted nationally or only statewide, as the mercy-killing law in Oregon. \n\nI've cited a few websites below that could be useful starting points, but you problem need to delve into hard-copy stuff, journals and books.\n\nHope this idea is helpful. Better get going.

We give away soy to foreign governments in the form of aid despite the fact we could run our vehicles on it.  Smart, eh?\n\nI would switch as long as it was feasable.  Facilities that dispense alternative fuels are nowhere to be found near me and I don't have the technical skills to mix the stuff myself or else I would in a second.  I deleted the emails but I was in contact with a guy in CA last year that convinced the local government on one of the Hawiian Islands to convert their recycling truck fleet to soy power.  He had some good ideas.  He also takes a soy powered VW Wagon on tour around the country to advertise the benefits of biodiesel.  \n\nGood luck if you choose to convert.  I haven't yet but maybe a few semesters at the vocational institute would pay off in the end.

Why the reversal of roles to begin with?\n\nAir would naturally be cleaner in a country setting with less industry and traffic... if out of the path of smog coming from any nearby city.\n\nNot a lot worthy of debate here.

No, there are no subsidies.  The only incentive is on lower (landfill) tax.\n\nThis is an oversight in my mind, however, being green leads to efficiency savings throughout an organisation.\n\nMinimising waste is the key

LOL.  You is funny.  Well at the rate that the cost of gas is raising, they might have to bring it in.  \nI've heard of the government (NZ) helping people to get a haircut for a job interview but not helping them get their with petrol vouchers.  How stuffed up is that.

Wikipedia has an excellent & comprehensive discussion of business ethics both as a field of study and as applied:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_ethics

it is most definitely not ethical.  it is scandalous.  now, are you aware that much of the stuff aimed at gr6 gr7 is actually aimed at mainstream consumer.  that is the age that business considers most readers of advertising to be.\nbrainwashing techniques by contually repeating ads is not ethical either.  I wonder how much of what we consider necessary for life and happiness is advertising generated.  it is dictating what we need and want.

Fuel conservation linked to newspaper delivery?  \n\nI suppose, but I suspect you're far off the mark.

man what do you want to know about the tamil nadu factory rules it would be wise to contact the respective ministry if on a large scale if it affects the environment u could coltact the tamilnadu pollution control board or in a small scale rules are nearly very little

I don't know about specific laws in the Phillipines, but it will depend on what chemical and perhaps what you're going to do with it. I presume the lab store attendent knew what they were talking about? Lead is a heavy metal and is pretty freely available. Many salts of heavy metals, although fairly dangerous, are usually freely available - for example many chemicals used in photography are salts of heavy metals such as silver, gold, etc. If you order online there will generally be information available about regulations on the site. You should also always look at the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for a chemical if you are not familiar with it to get information about its risks and how to handle and dispose of it. These can be found online.\n\nI don't know how old you are, but if you are young and are considering this outside the context of school, I would suggest experienced adult supervision.

The government of the United States was not established to act as a purchasing agent.  What do Americans expect, free fuel?\n\nA large part of the cost of automotive fuels is the high cost of refinng, with the legislated requirement of reduced pollution, both on the road and at the refinery.  Recent legislation requires new low levels of sulfur in diesel fuel, which is great, although it will raise the cost of transportation and the cost of goods at every store, and reduced profit at the refineries.\n\nSince the Democrats have gained more seats in Congress, and have promised to "investigate" Big Oil, they are simply driving my retirement nest-egg into overseas investments, because I can't afford to invest in American companies whose profits are being depleted by their own government.  Goodbye Exxon Mobil.  Hello Petroleos Brasilieros.

I don't know what ethical issues they would come across that any other product wouldn't come across.\n\nI guess since they are trying to give the impression by eating them you'll become fit but make-up, diet books, fat-free foods do the same.

There's a number of them:\n\n* Kickbacks and scandal (Kofi Annan's son)\n* Where it goes when it gets there (to a dictator or a hospital?)\n* Whether it could be spent better elsewhere (India doesn't really need as much aid as it did years ago, some argue)\n* Whether it is morally justified to support foreign interests when domestic interests are suffering\n* whether it is morally justified to provide aide to terrorist states or military enemies of our allies.

your observation of current conditions go far beyond the political structure that our world suffers from Today.In brief, the answer to the first part of your question is 'Its already too late!" Our Environment is in total upheaval due to the persistent use of FOSSIL FUEL!! Global Warming is UPON us as we sleep, eat and make war....for the very product that will terminate Life as we know it...First of all,once the concept of Greed is comprehended ...We as a race might have a chance to not become exstinct. As it stands now, it doesnt look very good. Understanding the free worlds economy and realizing that it is controlled by the Petro Dollar.and the handful of people that own the Companies that produce Petroleum.Failure to keep the Petro Dollar afloat WILL and WOULD collapse the free world economy,  THIS is the POLITICAL Machine that decides whose Son or Daughter should be sacrificed to maintain a "Freedom" to breath foul air and watch our Planet slowly Die; Being ravaged by Hurricanes,Tornadoes,and Floods caused by the melting of our Polar caps.Once the Salinity content of our oceans deviate much more or the temperature should fluxuate (I believe its 4 Degrees Celsius) disrupting the food chain, we as a race of people should be issued a shovel the next time we fill our gas tanks ....so we can start digging our own graves....We are on the Precipice, and it IS serious,....but we as a people have a tendency to not want to hear this until its knocking at our door...I pray that we as a society will take note and a STAND and commit...your children and your grandchildren have the RIGHT to live in a world free of Toxic Gases we call 'AIR' that is generated by the handful of Petrol Sharks that keep us stuck from utilizing the technology that ALREADY exist to burn clean fuel  ...Sundancer

What you're working with here is trying to decide an acceptable risk. The complicating factor is that this scenario involves the government deciding what will be an unacceptable risk for all of the governed...\n\nFor instance, driving a car is associated with a certain risk of injury and death.  Driving it intoxicated greatly increases that risk.  As a society, we have declared that driving intoxicated (in many states, that includes more than just booze, by the way) has been declared an unacceptable risk; driving, however, has not been declared as generating an unacceptable risk.\n\nAs an aside, if you use reconstituted, dehydrated lemonade, it is highly probable that there is rat excement in it anyhow--and you're just not aware of it.  Pre-prepared foods, canned foods, etc. have all sorts of detritus in them that, if you knew about it and thought about it as you ate it, would absolutely ruin the pleasure of eating it.  If, however, you don't know about it, you don't care: it's only if you are aware that it matters.\n\nBy the way, hydrogen oxide is a harmful substance in large enough amounts...  It can kill; I've actually seen sufficiently large ingestions of it cause seizures, and in other cases cause mental changes; and it is also safe in smaller amounts.  Wiley's assumption is demonstrably wrong with hydrogen oxide--better known, by the way, as water...\n\nYou have to realize that the natural environment produces toxins and carcinogens.  The peel of the humble radish, for instance (which I have been known to consume in quite immoderate amounts) has been shown to contain three carcinogens.  (You can sell RADISHES, but if you peel the radish and try to sell the PEELS, you're in deep dutch. It's modified, and covered under the Delaney Amendment.)  I've lost count of the number of polycyclic carcinogens that have been identified in the surface of grilled foods.  The list is obnoxiously long.  The trouble is that the research often assumes that the dose-response function is roughly linear, that there is no thresh-hold effect.  Given the remarkable ability of the human body to chemically modify things that are ingested, there is reason to question the validity of the no-threshhold assumption, based on serious science.\n\nThe rat urine thing, by the way, is cute--but it is an appeal to emotion, not reason.  Public policy should be based on reason and science, as much as possible, not on clever appeals to emotion, at least in my opinion.
