Abstract

In this article, the authors undertake a study of the environment in the Member States of the European Union in its complexity, as well as in each individual Member State. Attention is paid to the way in which the use of the environment and earth on the surface of the globe is related to the need to protect them. The authors highlight a number of issues related to the land used by the 27 member countries of the European Union (not mentioned in the 28th country that is theoretically in Brexit). Then, taking into account that the land can be used for agriculture, services, recreation and residential space, it is occupied by forests, is mined or used for transport or any other use. In this context, a study is made on how the land is used and the consequences that the unreasonable use has on it. Of course, the emission of gas in industrial activity and peasant households is another element to which the authors pay attention, in order to highlight the high polluting level of both industrial activity and peasant farming activity. Starting from the fact that in the economic activity, in the economic and industrial processes carbon dioxide emission is an obviously polluting and harmful element of the life of the population, the existing situation and the measures to be taken to rationalize the effects of these economic activities, very useful and beneficial to the economy, but in a special way it is polluting. A comparative study is being carried out on Member States highlighting countries with particular advances in reducing the effects of carbon dioxide emissions and others with the necessary emphasis on undertaking measures to avoid carbon dioxide emissions. The study is well presented, accompanied by graphs and series of data that clearly certify the conclusions that we can draw from the published data.
