Unit Two Investigation VISUAL POLLUTION

Visual pollution only occurs in some parts of Australia. Visual pollution has now become a law by the council due to businesses advertising on busy roads which distract the drivers. However even if your car was parked in a shopping centre car park and had a for sale sign on the back of your car this will be braking the law! I chose visual pollution because it really effects my workplace. We are not aloud to advertise off our property and if we do it’s a fine of $1000 an hour. I wanted to go deeper in this investigation and find out why, and does it really confirm pollution because I know I don’t get polluted by seeing a road sign.

The features covered by visual pollution policy include:

1.factories
2.sheds
3.buildings
4. Fences
5.Signs
6.landscaping
7.equipment
8.Graffiti
9.stroed unsightly material
10.ageing construction
11.any other unsightly material considered a problem by the Council.

The government cut down your taxes if you pay for something that will make you money. If you buy something for your business you would not be taxed on it. If you by a adverting sign and walk down the road with it ( advertising your business) it will be against the law. This was clearly said in the taxpayer office.

Is the taxpayer entitled to a deduction under subsection 40-755(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997) for vegetating an area used in their income earning activities for the purposes of providing a visual effect and preventing erosion?

Decision

No. The taxpayer is not entitled to a deduction for the cost of vegetating an area under subsection 40-755(1) of the ITAA 1997, as the expenditure is not in relation to an eligible environmental protection activity.

The government care for the environment. By penalising the offender should stop the pollution and it did work because my boss never advertised again. Any

    Cap and Trade

    This is a government solution to the problem because the government is the entity that is setting the “cap” on how much emissions and pollution can occur. This is not set by other businesses so it makes it a government solution. Also the government will tax those who go above the set limit and if it was a private solution a tax would not be able to be involved as a consequence. It is also not private because through the trading part of the idea, businesses can trade the any amount of pollution that was below their set goal and this was created as an incentive by the government so that businesses would compete in lowering their pollution levels at a…

When the runoff moves, it collects and picks up manmade and natural pollutants and ends up spilling into lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal waters.

    Good Afternoon everyone, the topic of this debate is that billboards and street advertising are visual pollution and as the affirmative side I agree with this statement. Street advertising is the broad terminology used for advertisements that are located on billboards, bus benches or the sides of transport. Visual pollution is an aesthetic issue referring to unattractive visual elements of a landscape, or anything that a person doesn’t feel comfortable to look at for example a billboard. I believe that street advertising is visual pollution and that it should be banned in cities for a number of reasons. Firstly, businesses don’t really need billboards to boost sales. Secondly, digital billboards are a hazard to drivers and lastly, Finally they clutter and ruin the environment.…

    The environmental campaign of reducing ‘clutter’ in the form of unnecessary road sighs and advertising billboards in the countryside is conducted by the Campaign to Protect Rural England. It is believed that road signs have a useful purpose, which should be retained. However, increasing number of these signs could not enhance road safety actually. CPRE states that to campaign against clutter is not to campaign against roads safety, more useful design approaches would be taken into consideration. According to the data from clutter audits, it shows that some of the signs are not required and could be removed, and only…
