What are non-market ecosystem services? Why are they an important, and why are they a vital component of environmental economics?
MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Read the following scenario and then answer the questions below.
Burning fossil fuels and their derivatives produces, among other things, harmful pollutants such as particulates, acid rain-producing sulfur and nitrogen oxides, and carbon oxides. These air pollutants threaten ecosystems all over the world, and high carbon dioxide levels contribute to global climate change. Furthermore, fossils fuels have a limited supply. The market price of fossil fuels, especially crude oil, have continued to rise in recent years. Despite this, Americans continue to consume fossil fuels at alarming rates. We rely upon fossil fuels for most of our energy needs, and continue to drive bigger and less fuel-efficient vehicles. At various times, the federal government has considered mandating higher fuel efficiency standards for American vehicles as a possible solution to this environmental energy crisis. Most auto manufacturers, however, are opposed to the imposition of standards.

Ecosystems provide many goods and services. Nature is the source of our food, water, building materials, and energy. The earth's ecological systems purify the air and water. Microorganisms decompose organic substances to make soil. Nature cycles nutrients such as nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, and phosphorous needed for crop growth. Animals such as birds, bats, and insects pollinate crops and other plants. Ecosystems also provide recreational and educational opportunities. These are economically valuable goods and services.

Not all costs and benefits can be easily quantified, identified, or defined. For instance, it is difficult to assess the cost of a valued landscape scarred by development or the cost of contamination of waterways due to pollution. Economic benefits are usually more easily quantified than environmental costs and economic benefits tend to be overrepresented in traditional cost-benefit analysis. Assumptions of neoclassical economics (infinite resources, focus on the short term, ignorance of external costs, and growth) can conflict with environmental concerns favoring preservation of tangible and intangible resources for future generations. However, the environmental economic cost-benefit analyses proposed by Robert Constanza and associates are beginning to provide methodologies for valuing both tangible (e.g. pollination) and intangible ecosystem services (e.g. peace of mind). The total value of these services in 2009 dollars is estimated at $44 trillion.

An environmental impact statement is a report required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970. It requires filing of a public report of studies that assess the potential impacts on the environment that would result from development projects undertaken or funded by the federal government. EISs must be filed by government agencies or the businesses that contract with them to evaluate environmental impacts before proceeding with a new dam, highway, or construction project.

Countries are often dependent on each other for solving environmental problems, as in the case of pollution. Pollution that is a cause of concern for one country may have originated in another country. In such cases, international cooperation is required to correct the problem.

A subsidy is a government giveaway of publicly owned resources, a giveaway of cash, or tax break, intended to encourage certain activities while discouraging others. Subsidies can be used to promote sustainable activities, but sometimes they are not used that way. Examples include subsidies for nonrenewable fossil fuels, road-building in national forests, and mining on public lands.

Two processes aided the funding for this project. First, proponents made substantial contributions to the campaign funds of pro-Bajagua state legislators. Second, professional lobbyists were hired to promote the project with government officials. In February, 2006, these efforts paid off when the project was approved.

Ecosystem services can be assessed by economists in several ways. They can measure the cost to restore damaged natural ecosystems or to mitigate harm from pollution. They can use surveys to determine how much people are willing to pay to protect a resource or to restore it after it is damaged. They can measure the money, time, or effort people expend to travel to places for recreation. They can analyze housing prices, comparing homes with similar characteristics but different environmental settings to infer the dollar value of landscapes, views, and peace and quiet. In the 1990s, one economist, Robert Constanza, published a study on the value of the Earth's ecosystems. He worked with other scientists to try to quantify the costs associated with duplicating all the goods and services that nature provides, including tangible resources like food, clean water, and shelter, as well as intangible services like recreational opportunities and spiritual renewal. Costanza's study, published in Nature, indicated that, annually, trillions of dollars would be needed to supply the goods and services that nature provides. The question of how to quantify these things is debatable. However, a follow-up study published in Science in 2002 similarly concluded that our natural environment is worth trillions of dollars. These studies show that conservation is a bargain, and nothing is worth nature's destruction.

U.S. environmental policy laws were created in three general periods: Westward expansion was promoted during the first period (1780s-late 1800s). Environmental laws of this period included the General Land Ordinances of 1785 and 1787, the Homestead Act of 1862, the Mineral Lands Act of 1866, and the Timber Culture Act of 1873. These laws encouraged settlers, entrepreneurs, and land speculators to move west and extract natural resources, hastening the closing of the frontier, with little regard for environmental preservation. By the late 1800s, the West had become more populated and its resources were being exploited. The second period began at this time. Over the next several decades, national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges were established as people became more aware of the environmental problems associated with westward expansion. Sensible land management policies continued through the 20th century, targeting soil conservation in the Dust Bowl years and extending through the Wilderness Act of 1964. The third major period of U.S. environmental policy began in the 1960s as the country continued to become more populated and became driven by technology, heavy industry, and intensive resource consumption. A landmark event was the 1962 publication of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, which awakened the public to the negative effects of industrial chemicals and pesticides. The public demanded a cleaner environment. In 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated, and the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act were established to strictly regulate industrial pollution and environmental destruction. The Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970 to oversee policy.

When we deplete natural resources and produce too much pollution, we can overwhelm ecological systems and degrade their ability to function properly. As development proceeds and populations continue to expand, we degrade ecosystems and deplete natural resources quicker than they can rebound. These resources and ecosystems are needed to sustain our economies. Problems in the Tijuana River watershed demonstrate this principle. Increased development and population density in this transboundary watershed region cause rogue flows which wash pollutants into local rivers and coastal waters in San Diego and Tijuana. Rogue flows cause beach closures as garbage washes up on beaches. Recreation, tourism, and other economic activity is thus significantly reduced. In addition, sewage-tainted water poses a health threat, leading to higher medical costs and fish kills. The area loses income and local economies are significantly affected. Economists realize that environmental protection is beneficial to economies.

The first step in the environmental policy process is identifying the environmental problem. This requires observation and record-keeping. Step two is identifying the causes of the problem. The third step is envisioning a solution. This may involve scientific, social, or political action. The fourth step is organizing and raising funds. The fifth step is gaining access to political powerbrokers via lobbying and campaign contributions. Using the "revolving door"---assessing individuals who have knowledge of both industry and government policies is useful at this stage. The final step is shepherding a solution, which may involve preparing a bill or law which embodies the solutions and finding support in Congress.

Governments can aim to promote fairness, resource conservation, and economic sustainability through legislation, regulation, and market incentives. Laws and regulations may restrict or limit resource extraction and release of harmful pollutants into the environment. Setting strict legal limits is called the "command-and-control" approach and it has been somewhat successful as evidenced by cleaner air and water in some places in the United States. This approach can fail if it generates opposition by special interest groups or causes citizens to view government intervention as restrictive. Governments can impose green taxes to penalize environmentally harmful practices. Taxing undesirable activities helps to "internalize" external costs by making them part of the overall cost of doing business. It is hoped that businesses will not pass on tax expenses to consumers. Governments can give tax breaks to businesses or individuals to promote environmentally friendly activities. They can subsidize green industries to offset economic losses in the marketplace. They can allow companies to trade marketable permission permits, which allow companies that emit under their allowable quota of pollution to sell permits to other companies. It is best when environmental organizations buy surplus permits and thus retire them, reducing overall pollution. Governments can allow ecolabeling to educate consumers on environmentally beneficial products. By preferentially buying ecolabeled products, consumers can provide businesses a powerful incentive to switch to environmentally friendly products such as dolphin-safe tuna, recycled paper, and organically grown food.

Non-market or intangible ecosystem services are qualities such as peace of mind, beauty, cultural significance, educational values, awe, inspiration and meditative self-knowledge. For example, if you consider why people visit spots of natural beauty and solitude, many of these services are motives for vacations and hence of indirect value to the tourist industry. For indigenous peoples the world over , sacred sites in wild nature have great cultural, educational and spiritual value. The educational value of natural areas is an economic asset if you consider the result of people growing up without experiencing them, and then later making decisions about land use in which a value for the intangibles is not a factor.Since these intangibles a drivers of economic activity they obviously have a monetary value and have to be included in any comprehensive environmental economics.
