Availability, collection/ harvesting practices and marketing of such resources including assessment of existing value chain are also ascertained. It also ascertained the technological options that can easily managed in the local environment. The SME plan are prepared in such a way that year a round income of households participating SME activities, it also ensure sustainable use of the resource.

Living in a healthy local environment means having physical surroundings that are safe and accessible and that connect you to your community. The statistics show that the areas of the country experiencing the most disadvantage have the worst environmental conditions. These include risk of flooding, poor air quality, litter and lack of access to green space.

As well as green space, a healthy environment is about being able to live in a clean area with clean air. It’s also about getting around, with safe and well-lit roads, good public transport, accessible shops and equal access for disabled people.

On a local level, a healthy environment means safe spaces where people can get together, get active and boost their health. Community allotments or gardens and parks, for example, help people stay physically and mentally healthy.

Feeling connected with our local environment is also about feeling more connected with each other. As those connections grow, communities can do more together to improve and influence their local environment.

The What is the Purpose of An Environmental Feasibility environmental feasibility analysis weighs the advantages and disadvantages of each option with regard to the environment. Most housekeeping and direct efficiency improvements have obvious advantages. Some options require a thorough environmental evaluation, especially if they involve product or process changes or the substitution of raw materials. The environmental option of pollution prevention is rated relative to the technical and economical options with respect to the criteria that are most important to the specific facility. The criteria may include:

• reduction in waste quantity and toxicity;

• risk of transfer to other media;

• reduction in waste treatment or disposal requirements;

• reduction in raw material and energy consumption;

• impact of alternative input materials and processes;

• previous successful use within the company or in other industry;

• low operating and maintenance costs;

• short implementation period and ease of implementation;

• regulatory requirements.

The environmental evaluation is not always so clear-cut. Some options require a thorough environmental evaluation, especially if they involve product or process changes or the substitution of raw materials. To make a sound evaluation, information should be gathered on the environmental aspects of the relevant product, raw material, or constituent part of the process. This information would consider the environmental effects not only of the production phase and product life cycle but also of extracting and transporting the alternative raw materials and of treating any unavoidable waste. Energy consumption should also be considered. To make a sound choice, the evaluation should consider the entire life cycle of both the product and the production process.
