__Urges__ nations to sign and ratify Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal in order to promote the safe disposal of hazardous material by: a.) Strengthening international cooperation when dealing with toxic waste b.) Pushing for funding in research related to the safe disposal of hazardous waste
 * Measures to prevent the export of hazardous material**

__Encourages__ nations to increase spending in recycling programs and in the implementation of those programs in order to: a.) Divert waste products away from disposal in environmentally detrimental ways such as: i. Burning  ii. Dumping into bodies of water  b.) Save landfill space and thus consequently reduce the toxicity of those spaces c.) Save natural resources since recycling allows products to be made from non virgin materials

__Implores__ nations to sign and ratify the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants since this will: a.) Greatly aid in reducing dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, otherwise known as DDT, an insecticide which is very hydrophobic and strongly absorbed by the soil and known to be the cause of various illnesses in humans as well as toxic to a wide variety of animals. b.) Further reduce the use and presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) which pose a risk of causing adverse effects to human health and the environment.

__Urges__ nations to implement the following guidelines to combat the presence of acid deposition, which includes wet acid deposition, more commonly referred to as acid rain, and dry acid deposition: a.) Use low sulfur coal in burning for energy which contains between 0 % to 1% sulfur as opposed to high sulfur coal contains between 2% to 4% sulfur since this will reduce the amount of sulfur oxides emitted by a coal fuelled power plant. b.) Install scrubbers in the chimneys of existing coal fuelled power plants since they remove as much as 80 to 95 percent of the sulfur oxides emitted by such a power plant. c.) Make mandatory the installation of scrubbers into new power plants as they are build as this is a less costly installation. d.) When and where possible use fluidized bed combustion which involved burning the coal on a bed of limestone in turn removing the sulfur as calcium sulfate(IV), CaSO3, or calcium sulfate(VI), CaSO4, as the coal burns.

__Recommends__ nations to build waste water treatment plants capable of undergoing at least primary treatment in order to remove floating matter, suspended matter, colloidal matter, dissolved ions and a range of micro-organisms from the used water in order to ultimately recycle the fresh water and prevent the discharge of waste water without any treatment into the natural environment.

__Implores__ nations to reduce CO2 emissions as well as HCFC and HFC emissions by placing quotas and benchmarks on factories in order to:

a.) Decrease the thinning of the ozone layer b.) Limit the intensification of the greenhouse effect which will in turn: i. Decrease the pace of global warming
