Environmental are vital to the survival of the human beings, animals, and plants in relation to the planet earth. One of the essential environmental issues across the globe drawing critical debate is the aspect of global warming. This relates to the rapid increase in the levels of temperatures thus realizations of the droughts and famine because of climate change. One of the major causes of global warming is human activity. The concept of industrialization is an essential part of the development in the context of the 21st century. It is essential to note that industrialization is one of the major contributors of the increase in the level of carbon or greenhouse gases. This contributes massive towards the essence of global warming or climate change thus the need for the adoption and implementation of accurate and extensive measures towards the limitation of the level of greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere.…...

Background history on business ethics

The term "business ethics" has contexts in different ways making the history of business ethics vary according to how one perceives the subject. The history is likely to vary on the historians. How they also perceive the term, what facts they seek to find as first hand information, and the importance the historians see on those facts. This subject solely depends on the historian, but at the end of it all, the facts should prompt some discussion, and someone else grasps it giving a different story on the same.

The term business ethics has at least three different usages, although all the three have an evident similarity. The way that one chooses to prioritize gives meaning to the nature of history on the subject. The first source of the term dates back to 1970, when the term originally used in the United States. Its…...

This lack of enforcement taking part in helping with the waste especially after a natural disaster such as a tornado will possibly allow such practices as illegal dumping to last unchecked.

"The ideal answer to hazardous waste problems is to alter the industrial processes so that hazardous waste materials are not produced any longer"(Kiefer, 1981, p.51). Nevertheless, in all reality this is extremely unlikely. It would basically be almost impracticable to make any large alterations to plants that are already in process. Many believe that part of the solution will lie in how the government will deal with large organizations that are pertaining to hazardous waste. If the government were to provide tax breaks to those businesses who…...

Environmental Issues Faced in 21st Century Aviation

Environmental awareness in regards to 21st century aviation among the public and politicians has been growing ever since the 1960s. It turned out to be extensively documented that human activities were having damaging and large-scale effects on the environment (Suzanne & Fallacaro, 2011). Engineering and scientific research is also playing a growing role in both protecting and understanding the environment. esearch has established the significance of the environment to human health and happiness along with the economic, social, and aesthetic harm that can stalk from poor environmental practices in aviation. esearch has suggested that…...

That is precisely what has occurred in Iran to date (Ajami, 2008; Larsen, 2007). However, the danger posed by continued Western reliance on OPEC oil in the form of financing that ultimately funds anti-western terrorism may be even more significant.
Conclusion

Ultimately, the principal question raised is not whether or not nuclear energy is safe and economical and beneficial to the atmosphere; it is whether nuclear energy is comparable to or preferable to fossil fuel energy sources and whether the full spectrum of their respective potential negative consequences are similar. Given all the likely considerations, nuclear power may not be the most important aspect of renewable energy reform, but it may very well be a helpful and very necessary part of the solution, particularly in the relatively short-term.

Environmental Issues of Today
Environmental issues have been a topic of much debate lately. With the drastic weather changes and uncontrollable climate, global warming has received much deserved attention. Despite the warning of the potential damage that global warming can cause the Earth, no one has really paid much attention to it. However, now that there has been plenty of proof and numerous events that have occurred as a direct result of global warming, the topic is beginning to be taken more seriously.

The environmental issue that I have been most aware of is global warming, despite there also being other problems that need to be taken into consideration. It is worrisome to think of the effects that global warming will have on the future of our planet. Although it can be difficult to think that far ahead, the effects that our grandchildren will feel are real. According to both of the…...

Sustainable Development Compatible With Human Welfare?
Julie L. Davidson, from "Sustainable Development: Business as Usual or a New Way of Living?" Environment Ethics (Spring 2000)

esearcher Julie argues that a radical conversion to sustainable development offers a way to make future humans freedom possible and consistent with the wider social and ecological good.

There are many logical points made to consider sustainable development. The main argument or weighting factor is freedom for the use of the environment's resources over future generations to come along with generations of many other ecosystems which will prolong the existence of the human race, and their social needs.

NO: Jacqueline . Kasun, from "Doomsday Every Day: Sustainable Economics, Sustainable Tyranny," The Independence eview (Summer 1999)

NO: Economics professor Jacqueline . Kasun asserts that sustainable development poses threats to human freedom, dignity, and material welfare. How does it pose a threat to human freedom?

"Toyota is currently working to achieve this voluntary target by 2009 within the context of its own 2010 Global Vision and zero emissions vehicle goal through, in part, increasing the mix of hybrids within its model line up."
In terms of design, it should not be forgotten that Toyota pioneered the world's first mass produced petrol/electric car, the Prius, which went on sale in Japan in 1997.

It is also a noteworthy point that the company does not see hybrid technology as a sideline or an interim move to impress with its intention and capableness, but rather sees this technology as, "... A viable, stand alone technology that can improve the efficiency of most fuels."

There are a number of related aspects that should also be mentioned here. Toyota is responsible for the development of the Eco-VAS (Eco-Vehicle Assessment System) in 2005, which is "...a valuable environment management tool for those responsible…...

Environment and the Two Major Political Parties
When one thinks of Democrats and epublicans thoughts typically run to images of two diametrically opposed platforms. Yet, despite political ranting, both parties have been concerned for the environment in which we live, for more than 40 years. This paper will look at the two parties, and their basic differences, then examine the history of environmental legislation. From this, an understanding will be brought forth regarding what efforts each party has put into protecting and preserving the environment, in the past, and what efforts are being currently put for regarding the future of environmental conservation, and how in the end, political party has little to do with whether or not someone is concerned with the environment.

Health and Environmental Issues in the Middle East and Third World Countries
The World health organization states that "More than three million children under five die each year from environment-related causes and conditions. This makes the environment one of the most critical contributors to the global toll of more than ten million child deaths annually..." (The environment and health for children and their mothers) This report serves to illustrate the fact that third world and developing countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia suffer for a vast array of health and environmental issues. These include aspects such as pollution, inadequate sanitation, toxic hazards, and numerous diseases as well as retarded or degraded ecosystems and societal infrastructures.

The Word Health Organization (WHO) points out that these issues are particularly serious in developing countries where " environmental hazards and pollution are a major contributor to ....deaths, illnesses and disability ... " (ibid) These…...

This demonstrates the uphill climb facing President Obama, not just in terms of gaining political momentum to return the United States to a place of respect in the global environmental movement but also to develop regulatory goals and standards that will have a meaningful impact on environmental standards. It is important for Obama to differentiate himself from his predecessors during this campaign with a policy agenda that does more than pay political lip service to important environmental issues.

Regulatory Energy Policy:

America's energy policy also carries extremely complex and nuanced political implications. Today, the world is coming to terms with the reality of a global oil shortage. The petroleum which has constituted the dominant and exponentially consumed energy source of the last century is becoming scarcer and more costly. The race is on to determine the most practical substitute for this precious but environmentally destructive, politically inflammatory and economically…...

Airports and Their Effects on the Environment
Airports are a necessary part of today's fast-paced global environment. It goes without saying that our world would certainly be a different place without them. Millions depend on them every day to get them to their destinations. However, airports have many negative effects as well, especially to the local environment. Airports are a source of smog, contaminate waterways, contribute to global warming through the emission of greenhouse gases, and generate significant amounts of noise pollution (NADC, 1996).

According to the National Airport Defense Council, many airports rank among the top 10 pollution sources in the city where they are located. Although, airport pollution only contributes about 1% of total smog-forming gases in the United States, these numbers will continue to grow as the need for travel increases (NADC, 1996). This is the issue the Federal Aviation Administration and other government agencies must work together…...

Green vs. Green
Environmentalists vs. Corporations in the 1990s

It is a sad fact, that the word "green" means different things to different people. For some, "green" is the color of leaves, and of grass, and of hillsides and forests. It is the symbol of a vibrant and flourishing Earth. For others, however; "green" is the color of money, and of profits, and of big business and unbridled capitalism. It is the keystone of corporate America. The 1990s, in particular, were a period in which these two definitions of "green" came into often bitter conflict. Environmental groups became increasingly alarmed at what they saw as the destruction of the natural habitats of many animal, bird, fish, and plant species. The Amazon rainforest, for example, was being cut down at an alarming rate by companies that appeared concerned only to make use of its natural resources -- wood, agricultural land, and mineral resources…...

President of Big Bags, I would make a couple of points with respect to our product. While plastic bags have been cast as villains, articles such as those by Bruce mith of Green Earth paint only one side of the story. I am writing this op-ed in order to tell our side of the story.
The first thing that I would like the audience to know is that Big Bags, Inc. is not just a supplier of plastic bags. We supply a wide range of plastic products. hopping bags are among those product, but so too are sandwich bags, garbage bags, and the little bags they have out at the dog park for picking up dog…stuff. Arguably, there has to be a certain amount of cognitive dissonance to take issue with plastic shopping bags, when there are clearly many other products made from plastic that nobody is concerned about.

Further to…...

Smith further claims that our plastic bags are cluttering up landfills. He cites that one billion bags are not recycled each year. We take issue with that claim. Our bags are recyclable, and in jurisdictions that have plastic recycling programs, nearly 60% of our bags are diverted away from the landfill, at least until they have been used to clean the litter box or down at the dog park. The reality is that even when one of our bags ends up in the landfill, it has often been used multiple times, usually for some other form of waste. A like-for-like comparison would be to compare such bags to the thicker, heavier garbage bags that also end up in the landfill.

It is also worth pointing out that there are some errors with respect to Smith's claims about Big Bag, Inc. And our corporate social responsibility record. We pay many of our employees a living wage, for one, and provide them with an opportunity to buy health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. We were a pioneer in the hiring of minorities, and many of our plants are overrepresented in terms of most minority groups. We even serve a Christmas ham each year, as a token of appreciation, and starting in 2014 we offered a pork-free alternative for our Jewish and Muslim employees. We are a family-oriented company that truly values our workers and treats them well. We were ranked in the Top 50 employers in Southwest Des Moines in 2004, an award that stands as testament to our hard work. We have even gone 183 days without a workplace accident, the sign outside the factory tells me.

So while Bruce Smith launches his one-sided screed against our company, I can assure the readers of the New York Times that Big Bag Inc. works with government to provide recycling options for our bags, we have an excellent track record of corporate social responsibility, and quite frankly, we make a product that most Americans choose to utilize, because it is the best product of its kind.

ildlife which does not have natural predators in Florida was introduced by people who had bought those animals or reptiles and could not control them, or had to leave the state, and therefore abandoned them in the Everglades. The best example is the one of a Burmese python which was let go in the Everglades and had attached an alligator. Both animals did not survive the encounter, yet it shows that human are the main threat to the environment.
To summarize the environmental issues in Florida, we can say that the main issue is the development and encroachment into the Everglades. The lush mangrove and saw grass marshes of South Florida are the last of a great wilderness that, until the 20th century, stretched for hundreds of miles. Our Everglades refuge countless species, including endangered Florida panthers, Cape Sable seaside sparrows and American crocodiles. Many years of encroaching development have…...
