Everything that everyone does affects the environment, in good and bad ways. There are things that go unnoticed in everyday life that needs to be looked at more seriously in order to improve the environment. Recognizing and correcting the problem and promoting the positive aspects will ultimately improve the environment. In order to maintain a healthy environment, society must become aware of how day-to-day activities impact the environment and they also need to be ready to approach and change such lifestyles. So how can we, as individuals, improve the environment? Why When talking about environment related issues, most people just don’t care; they are only doing enough to get by for themselves. The only concerns they have are paying their bills on time, taking care of their family, keeping their job, and being happy. People are contemplating the fact that they are just one person, and the changes they make won’t make a difference so why should it matter. (Savage) If this mind set of people changes then that one person will turn it to hundreds and thousands of people and differences in the environment will start to be seen. There are multiple different reasons on why you should care about the environment and what impacts it. Approximately 40% of deaths globally are cause by pollution, and...

Discussion Why do most companies use a mixture of debt and equity financing? The advantage of borrowing money by issuing bonds is that interest payments, unlike dividends, are tax-deductible.

Running head: CONCORD BOOKSHOP PAPER Submitted by: jmb529 Concord Bookshop Paper Jonell Benson HCS/587 Ginger Weatherston University of Phoenix Concord Bookshop Paper This paper will discuss the organizational change process from the readings of, “Tales of Woe at Concord Bookshop.” The variety of change processes gives change leaders and administrators the ability to visualize the internal and external components of change that will go against the status quo and possibly cause a clash between the owners and the workers. The phases in the organizational change model are strategic responsiveness, behavioral change, employee participation and resistance to change. Also included, are the three faces of change and trigger events and change. I will describe two portions of the change process that were not completed or implemented at the Concord Bookshop, which caused failure of the change process. While attempting to implement change, the change leader must first assess the need for change. There was an increase in the amount of competition with...

...Case Study Turnaround at the Preston plant The Preston plant of Rendall Graphics was located in Preston, Vancouver. The plant was bought from the Georgetown Corporation by Rendall in March 2000. The plant produced Precision coated papers for ink-jet printers which accounted for the majority of the plant’s output. The plant started to experience problems in the quality of their output of the ink-jet paper and had received feedback in late 1998 from Hewlett-Packard (HP) about the problem. The team at Preston worked to resolve the problem and in October of 1999 made recommendations for a revised and improved coating formulation. However in 2000, productivity, scrap and re-work levels continued to be poor. Operations Management team’s response was to increase the speed of the line and made a number of changes to operating practice in order to raise productivity. In the spring of 2000, two significant events happened to the Preston plant. Rendall Corporation purchased the plant, even though it was losing around $2 million a year. Rendall was not impressed by what they found at the plant and it seems that they did not do a very good analysis of the overall operations of the plant and the management of its operations. The second event that happened was that HP asked the plant to bid on a contact for a new ink-jet platform. The main concern that the operations management had with HP’s observations and feedback was that, HP continued to have complaints on quality...

...San Diego Ceiling Fan Installers Ceiling fans are a great investment for your home. They are able to provide the owner with several advantages that can add to the décor and mood of the room. Ceiling fans can transform your home into a more pleasant place to be all year long. Ceiling fans can save you money by reducing your energy bill. When it is warm outside the fan can lower the temperature 1 – 2 degrees for the room’s occupants. It does this by pulling cool air from the floor and circulating it within the room. Ceiling fans are energy savers even when it isn’t warm outside. The rotation direction of the fan can be reversed, normally just by pushing a button, and it will push the warm air down from the top of the room to circulate it, warming...

...Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will be answering. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, keep in mind that you will need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question for which you genuinely want to know the answer. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad, which covers too much, or too narrow, which covers too little. It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper. What is your general topic or area of interest? My general topic is “Recycling”, which is one topic from the list provided in the syllabus. Recycling is an important part of my life, because I care deeply about our environment. I was taught to recycle at a young age, and was somewhat shocked to see how careless consumers are here in the United States, and the “throw-away” mentality most consumers have. What is it about your general...

...Parktopia’s First Recycling Program Supply Chain Department Parktopia Executive Summary Situation In recent years, St. George has been plagued with a landfill scarcity crisis. Growing environmental negligence has caused this scarcity. Parktopia produces 15% of all total waste in St. George, making us the largest waste producer in the area. We need to take responsibility and help solve our city’s landfill scarcity problem. Methodology We used a framework called MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive). MECE allows us to find problems that are relevant towards our situation. The methodology allowed us to identify three areas of research that influence the solution that solves our problem; these three spheres of research are cost, community, and competition. Research The first sphere of research is about cost. We identified that the largest increasing cost in Parktopia is the trash disposal cost. The second sphere of research, which dealt with community, identified that our community is burdened by the increasing trash disposal cost and landfill scarcity. The last sphere of research identified that recycling programs are helping our competition reduce costs. Solution The solution that solves all three spheres of research is a recycling program. Our recycling program includes 100 plastic and 100 paper containers, along with formal employee training. The proposed start date is January 1, 2015. Introduction Since 1954, Parktopia...

...CFO From: Victoria Allen, Recycling Committee secretary Subject: Greenings Corporation going Green—Implementing our recycling program [pic] Introductory Summary [pic] The following report is the findings of the recycling committee. In efforts to jump-start the program, we consulted with coworkers to gain insight about recycling. Yorel Demouchet, an IT tech, implemented a program and she shared how she did it. We also interviewed Freddie Lyons, a former Waste Management Recycling Specialist. Basically, both of them said the same thing with the exception that Mr. Lyons gave more in-depth details about recycling as oppose to Yorel’s hands on experience. The planning stage is fundamental they both said. The planning and motivating stages enhances succeed. With their advice and research, we decided that paper, computer/computer parts, and ink/toner cartridge are the items we will start collecting. Mr. John James, our new CEO, wants to quickly implement a recycling program to show corporate responsibility like other corporations. After we inform you of what is and is not recyclable, consideration before choosing items, items chosen to recycle, how items are sorted, collected, and transported we will explain the final stage, motivating. Accepting our recommendation is warranted by the merits that this plan offers. Implementing this plan will be quick, simple, and easy. Planning Stage First, research to find what items...
