Dear readers Shrodinger box today, June 5, is World Environment day, one day chosen by members of the United Nations, to promote awareness of the need to conserve the environment, this year dedicated to Thaw. That is why we decided to dedicate some lines.
The election of June 5 is not entirely arbitrary, and arguably is the birthday of Environmental Conservation, at least as we understand it today. The sixties rescaca spent in the Green Revolution (the discovery of new chemicals, mainly pesticides like DDT, which allowed a considerable increase in production on arable land), but began to notice some strange symptoms. For example, birds that were unable to take flight, suffering from a strange trembling. Or soft-shelled eggs and chicks were not viable. The birds had already been identified as key species in pest control. Not only were the birds. Wealthy people began to suffer from gastric diseases, more characteristic of sites with poor hygiene. Marsico turns out that he was intoxicated with pathogenic bacteria from sewage discharges. These cases and many others, fed the awareness that something was wrong with the environment.
course had previously conservation measures, eg in the post natural areas commented that Yellowstone goes back to the nineteenth century, and of course that existed prior awareness. But surely the milestone that we look back today marked a before and after in Conservation.
On June 5, 1972 began the United Nations a conference on human environment, and what better place to celebrate than in the city of Stockholm. At that congress was signed today known as the Stockholm Declaration .

The Stockholm Declaration is not binding (do not pass such laws in the signatory countries) only gives recommendations. On this statement is anchored almost all of the principles of environmental law.
1. Man is both creature and moulder of his environment, which gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity to develop intellectually, morally, socially and spiritually.
In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet has reached a stage where, thanks to the rapid acceleration of science and technology, man has acquired the power to transform, in countless ways and in a unprecedented scale, the surroundings.
The two aspects of the human environment, natural and artificial, are essential for well-being and the enjoyment of fundamental human rights including the right to life itself.
In this first point, it points out the importance of environment, support for the survival and welfare of mankind, but man's capacity for modification, may endanger the welfare of human being itself.
4. In developing countries, most environmental problems are caused by underdevelopment. [...] Therefore, developing countries must direct their efforts towards development, bearing in mind their priorities and the need to safeguard and improve the environment.
[...] In industrialized countries, environmental problems are generally related to industrialization and technological development.
An interesting point of this part, is that it includes aid to underdeveloped countries as part of an international environmental policy.
6. We have reached a moment in history when we must shape our actions throughout the world with a more application to the implications they have for the environment.
Through ignorance or indifference, we can cause massive and irreversible harm to the earthly environment on which depend our lives and our welfare.
By contrast, with a fuller knowledge and wiser action, we can get to us and our posterity a better life in an environment more in tune with the needs and aspirations of human life.
prospects of improving the quality of the environment, to create a satisfying life are great. What is needed is enthusiasm, but, calm state of mind work and intense but orderly.
To reach the fullness of their freedom in nature, man must use knowledge to build, in harmony with them a better environment.
The goal is not to preserve and conserve, but to allow greater good of the human. Economic and social development must be compatible with environmental preservation: Development is Sustainable.
7. To reach this goal will demand that citizens and communities, businesses and institutions at all levels to accept their responsibilities and that all sharing equitably in common efforts.
is the responsibility of all governments, businesses and citizens, preservation of natural environment. This lays the principles of Participation and Accountability. The environment is a common, highly vulnerable and therefore need protection. This protection will be tutored by the government, but everyone must participate.
addition to the points, the account statement also has 24 principles, in which member countries agree to participate (although as we have said is not binding).
I recommend reading this letter, it is neither too long nor too complicated, and are clearly reflected the principles of environmental law, of which we in the box below Shrodinger.

There is a story quite curious about this statement, although I'm not entirely convinced of its truth, yet they said if anyone can confirm. It turns out that the term environmental Castilian emerged from this letter. When translating from English Environment , translator found in the dictionary Environment, Environment (both are synonyms), did not see the point and it left him as Environment (which translates literally into English would Environment Environment). Whether it is correct or not ... because I prefer not to use environment. It is much more appropriate to use only part (or Medium or Environment). But still persists Environment (as a general thing) and Middle or for particular ecosystems Environment (Marine Environment, Urban Environment).
