“…Significant environmental improvements have been achieved, using an approach frequently based on detailed regulations, often developed with the close involvement of industry and even individual polluters. There has developed a tendency to relieve some of the heaviest polluters from the most stringent regulation, on the grounds of competitiveness concerns, and some polluting activities receive considerable direct or indirect subsidies; these policies will increasingly make it unnecessarily expensive to meet environmental targets. …”

“…Ce programme mis en œuvre au Royaume-Uni met en contact des équipes d’élèves clients avec les plus éminentes agences d’esthétique industrielle du pays pour trouver des solutions pratiques aux problèmes qui se posent dans les établissements scolaires, mettre en évidence les avantages d’un partenariat étroit entre l’industrie de l’agencement de locaux et les écoles, et permettre aux élèves de perfectionner leurs techniques de vie…”
