I am think about my final paper's topic. following is the a case which is relative to the environment pollution. (information web site: http://www.alternet.org/environment/72995/?page=1)
This is a real case happened in a northeast of China. The owner of the Hunan Jingtian Science and Technology Company had first considered setting up plant in a neighboring town. Though local government knew the emissions of this plant may hurt local environment, local government badly wanted to attract both the jobs and tax revenue. According to China Economic Times, it offered the owner of company generous financial incentives to open its plant there.
villagers found a troubling list of problems that had materialized since the factory opened. the problems is including stomach pains, migraine headaches,vomiting, cattle die and rice yields decline..
villagers visited the factory repeatedly to talk to the management, requesting that the emissions-control equipment be upgraded or the most polluting production lines be discontinued.The owner offered small payments to those who complained loudest which did not really solve the pollution problem.
Having exhausted peaceful channels, the villagers turned to force.more than a hundred residents marched onto factory grounds to disconnect its electricity. These villagers were send to jail..
then villagers turned to ask help from an organization of public-interest lawyers, the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims. They sued this factory. Now this law case is on the processing..
I am going to do my final paper based on this case. My opinion will focus on the environment pollution issue.
