Effect of flash ads on the environment and its comparison with the production of PET bottles
Krejčí, Martin ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Rod, Aleš (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the impact of online advertisments created using Flash technology on the environment in the U.S. and then compares it to influence of production of PET bottles on the environment in the U.S.. The thesis describes the functioning of the flash ads. In the analysis there are compared the carbon footprint left-out of the difference in electricity consumption in the enabled and disabled Flash ads and production of PET bottles. The aim of the analysis is to compare the costs of flash advertising and PET bottles in term of environment and to consider revenues resulting from them and to answer the question whether the flash advertisement market is not regulated only because it does not seem originally to damage the environment as much as PET bottles does, and if it should not be regulated.

Gaseous products of microbial decomposition of organic pollution in constructed wetland used for wastewater treatment.
ŠTĚPÁNEK, Jindřich
This master thesis is dealing with monitoring of gaseous products of microbial decomposition of organic pollution in constructed wetland. This wetland was used for wastewater treatment in a village Slavošovice, Czech Republic. Emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O were measured in one treatment bed of the system. The emissions were quantified, their seasonal course was followed, and the main factors affecting gaseous emissions were identified. Only 3 % of total C emissions were in form of methane, N2O emissions were negligible and only 1,5 % of nitrogen denitrified were in form of N2O. Carbon and nitrogen balances of the system were estimated.

Current state and perspectives on taxation of motor vehicles in the EU
John, Jiří ; Láchová, Lenka (advisor) ; Teklý, Lukáš (referee)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of taxation of motor vehicles in the EU. Taxation of motor vehicles is harmonized these days on the grounds of elimination of market failures and motivation of customers to buy environmentally friendly cars. Work consists of 3 main parts. The first part describes the concepts of tax competition, coordination and harmonization. Furthermore, this section deals with the steps the EU, leading to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and their impact on the taxation of motor vehicles. The second part focuses on the taxation of motor vehicles used in selected member countries of the European Union. These countries tax cars based on emissions of carbon dioxide. In the third part of the paper is described the current state of taxation of motor vehicles in the Czech Republic. This section also deals with the future taxation of motor vehicles.

Perspective on Taxation of Motor Vehicles in the EU and Impact of Crisis on Automotive Industry
Maryško, Michal ; Láchová, Lenka (advisor) ; Láchová, Lenka (referee)
This work is devoted to the issue of taxation of motor vehicles, which is nowadays particularly crucial problem mainly due to the increasing impact of transport on the environment. Transport belongs among the five main issuers of CO2 into the atmosphere. Transport contributes almost 16% to the total emissions and road transport contributes 7% to this part. Because of this reason, the European Commission created and proposed a new form of taxation on the use of motor vehicles. This proposal is based on CO2 emissions and vehicle weight. Every single car producer will be forced to reach its specific goals until the year 2012. Emissions should be reduced to the threshold of 120g/km. Another way to battle emission of pollutants into the air are EURO emission standards, which establish binding limits for certain types of pollutants for brand-new vehicles. Afterwards, there is paid the attention to the current situation in the Czech Republic. Road tax (supplemented with time and power charging) has the main role in motor vehicle taxation. Nevertheless, people are presently facing the world economic crisis. Therefore, car producers have to spend a great force in order to remain on the market and it is not an easy task. In conclusion, I deal with financial aid, which had to be given into the automotive industry to let it survive. Just in Europe, car industry employs over 12 million people and fills public budgets with 360 trillion euros on average. It means that it is absolutely necessary to support this kind of industry at present.

The comparison of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme and the Acid Rain Program in USA
Zelená, Vladimíra ; Petrášek, František (advisor) ; Škop, Vladislav (referee)
The thesis focuses on comparison of emission trading of the European Union (European Union Emission Trading Scheme) which trades with carbon dioxide allowances and emission trading of the United States of America (Acid Rain Program) which trade with sulphur dioxide allowances. Despite of using same mechanisms and principles, these systems brought diverse results -- mostly because of different implementation of key parameters. The thesis which concerns with both of these systems is trying to find the major reasons of unsuccessful implementation of the European Union trading and the most important reasons leading to successful performance of the U.S. program.
