Since the problems of environmental pollution and natural resource consumption have become worse, Packaging Industry should take its responsibility of protecting the environment. This article discussed about some serious problems caused by over packaging and made a research on some methodologies on reducing packaging. Among the 3R1D principles, the most important one is “Reduce”. Simplifying packaging could not only both directly save natural resources and reduce environmental pollution but also has a resounding ripple effect across the entire production phase. Through this way, the author tried to find some new solutions to minimize human’s impact to the environment.

В статье авторами рассматриваются основные экологические и экономические проблемы, имеющиеся в сфере использования природных ресурсов мирового хозяйства, такие как: исчерпание ресурсов, отсутствие возможности их пополнения; рост объемов потребления ресурсов населением; загрязнение окружающей среды. В связи с этим, важным становится оптимизация взаимодействия общества и природы на основе повышения эффективности использования природных ресурсов. Проанализированы авторами причины и факторы, сформировавшие на сегодняшний день кризисное положение в экологии. In the article, the authors consider the main environmental and economic problems that exist in the use of natural resources of the world economy, such as the exhaustion of resources, the lack of opportunities to replenish them; the growth of resource consumption by the population; environmental pollution. In this regard, it is important to optimize the interaction of society and nature by increasing the efficiency of natural resources use.The authors have analyzed the reasons and factors that have formed the current crisis in ecology.

The theoretical and methodological principles of ecosystem definition of losses of natural resource potential as a result of ineffective management are researched. The main institutional preconditions for estimation of the caused and prevented losses from environmental pollution are considered in the light of international experience. The scientific recommendations on institutionalization of ecosystem definition of losses of natural resource potential (on the example of water resources) are substantiated.

Professional Roles And Responsibilities

The increasing diversity, complexity and dynamics of ecosystem values and uses over the last 50 years requires new ways for natural resource managers (foresters, wildlife biologists, etc.)to understand and relate to their professional roles and responsibilities in accommodating urban and rural ecosystem users, and managing the complimentary and conflicting interactions between them. Three stages in Western-world natural resources management are identified and analyzed, beginning with the (1) Traditional stage: natural resources first, foremost and forever, to (2) Transitional stage: natural resource management,for better or worse, involves people, to (3) Relationship stage: managing natural resources for valued people and ecosystem relationships. The impacts of these three perspectives on how natural resource managers view and respond to ecosystems,people and other life-forms is basic and can be profound.

In The Ultimate Resource (1981, 1996), and in many other publications over the last several decades, Julian Simon put forth controversial views regarding the connection between natural resource scarcity, population growth, and economic progress. Simon argued, in contrast to those espousing the limits to growth, that natural resources were not getting scarcer, but more abundant, and that a large and growing population was an asset rather than a liability in the pursuit of economic growth.

Intergenerational Ethics

This chapter examines a variety of views about the nature of society’s putative duty to conserve natural resources for the future, with a focus on the contested idea of sustainability. This chapter examines competing conceptions of sustainability and their implications for natural resource conservation across generations. Sustainability is a very popular concept, but there are many different positions on what might be called the “sustainability of what?” question. The chapter examines a number of competing views and shows how controversy here has informed the debate between so-called weak and strong conceptions of sustainability. It concludes with an examination of the politics of sustainability, and in particular the connections and possible tensions between goals of natural resource conservation and of global justice.

The Relationship

The article examines the place of Natural Resource Law and post-resource branches of law in the legal system, proposes a hierarchy of these branches and outlines the relationship between the subjects of natural resource and post-resource relations. The subject of legal regulation of Natural Resource Law is defined as qualitatively homogeneous natural resource relations, consisting of the use and reproduction of natural resources – a legally defined part of the environment that have signs of natural origin and are in ecological relationship with the environment and with each other, can be used as a source of meeting human needs. All natural resources, as well as the relationship to their use and reproduction, are closely linked. This connection will always be inseparable and reciprocal. It is established that in the system of Natural Resource Law public relations regarding the use and reproduction of certain natural resources are in fact its subsectors and provide a differentiated approach to the environmentally sound use of each of the relevant natural resources. Natural Resource Law is not a conglomeration of land, water, forest and subsoil law, but their qualitative unity based on a single nature, factors of development and the internal structure of social relations. It is concluded that neither the long history of legislation, nor a significant amount of regulations that are sources of post-resource industries, are grounds for denying the inseparable and mutual connection of post-resource branches of law with each other and with Natural Resource Law and the objective need for separation independent branch of Natural Resource Law.
