2. Ethics of Green Engineering

3. Introduction 1 What is green engineering The operational quest for sustainability is defined as green engineering, a term that recognizes that engineers are central to the practical application of the principles of sustainability to everyday life. It is a discipline that seeks to design products and processes that minimize environmental impact, is inherently intertwined with ethical considerations.

4. SUB TOPIC Part 1 1 Here are some key ethical considerations in green engineering Environmental Impact Social Responsibility Economic Viability Technological Advancement

5. Ethical Considerations 1 Environmental Impact Long-term Consequences: Engineers must assess the long-term environmental implications of their designs, considering factors like resource depletion, pollution, and climate change. Life Cycle Assessment: This comprehensive analysis helps identify potential environmental impacts throughout a product's entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.

6. Ethical Considerations 2 Social Responsibility Equity and Justice: Green engineering should prioritize equitable access to clean technologies and resources, ensuring that marginalized communities are not disproportionately burdened. Worker Safety and Well-being: Safe and ethical working conditions must be maintained throughout the entire production process, from manufacturing to recycling.

7. Ethical Considerations 3 Economic Viability Sustainable Business Practices: Green engineering should promote economically sustainable solutions that balance environmental and social concerns with financial viability. Avoiding Greenwashing: Engineers must be transparent about the environmental benefits of their designs, avoiding misleading claims or exaggerated marketing.

8. SUB TOPIC Part 4 4 Technological Advancement Responsible Innovation: While pursuing technological advancements, engineers must consider the potential risks and unintended consequences of their innovations. Ethical Use of Emerging Technologies: Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and biotechnology raise ethical questions about their potential impact on society and the environment.

9. Ethical Considerations 4 Technological Advancement Ethical Frameworks for Green Engineering: Utilitarianism: Prioritizing the greatest good for the greatest number of people, considering both human well-being and environmental health. Deontology: Adhering to moral duties and obligations, such as respecting human rights and protecting the environment. Virtue Ethics: Cultivating moral character traits like honesty, integrity, and compassion to guide ethical decision-making.

10. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws AROUND THE WORLD

11. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in US Clean Air Act: The Clean Air Act of 1990 regulates air emissions from various sources, including industrial facilities and vehicles

12. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in US Clean Water Act: The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948 was the first major U.S. law to address water pollution. Growing public awareness and concern for controlling water pollution led to sweeping amendments in 1972. As amended in 1972, the law became commonly known as the Clean Water Act (CWA).Regulates water pollution, including wastewater discharges and stormwater runoff.

13. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in US Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA): The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), enacted in 1976, is the principal Federal law in the U.S. governing the disposal of solid waste and hazardous waste. RCRA amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965 to address the increasing problems the nation faced from its growing volume of municipal and industrial waste.

14. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in US Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA): The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 provides EPA with authority to require reporting, record-keeping and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures. Certain substances are generally excluded from TSCA, including, among others, food, drugs, cosmetics and pesticides.

15. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in US Energy Policy Act of 1992, amended in 2005 and 2009: The Energy Policy Act includes a wide variety of energy mandates intended to enhance U.S. energy security, reduce energy-related environmental effects, and encourage long-term economic growth.

16. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering LAWS in EU REACH Regulation: Is a 2006 European Union regulation that affects the supply and use of substances. Regulates the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals.

17. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering LAWS in EU Renewable Energy Directive: Promotes the use of renewable energy sources.

18. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering LAWS in EU Energy Efficiency Directive Renewable Energy Directive: towards 2020 The original Renewable Energy Directive, adopted on 23 April 2009, established that 20% of the EU’s gross final energy consumption and 10% of each EU country’s transport energy consumption must come from renewable energy sources by 2020

19. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in Philippines Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act No. 8749): This law aims to achieve and maintain clean air quality by regulating air pollutants and promoting clean air technologies.

20. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in Philippines The Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act No. 9275) aims to protect the country's water bodies from pollution from land-based sources.

21. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in Philippines Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990 (Republic Act No. 6969): This law regulates the importation, manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use, and disposal of toxic substances and hazardous and nuclear wastes

22. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in Philippines Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 9003): This law promotes the proper segregation, collection, transport, storage, treatment, and disposal of solid waste.

23. Green Engineering Laws 5 Green Engineering Laws in Philippines Philippine Green Building Code: This code sets standards for green building design, construction, and operation, promoting energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable materials use.

24. Policies and Programs In addition to these laws, the Philippine government has also implemented various policies and programs to promote green engineering and sustainable development. Renewable Energy Program: This program promotes the development and utilization of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal energy.

25. Policies and Programs Energy Efficiency and Conservation Program: This program aims to reduce energy consumption and promote energy efficiency in various sectors, including industry, transportation, and buildings.

26. Policies and Programs Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Program: This program addresses the impacts of climate change and promotes climate-resilient development.
