Literature Review

Adapting to climate change is not limited to environmental issues but rather on the policies developed by the legal instruments, socially responsible business, scientific research as well as awareness creation. The United States has already started on adapting its institutions on climate change vulnerability through conventions and National Adaptation Summits as well as being signatories to international MEA’s (Multilateral Environmental Agreements) such as the Kyoto Protocol as well as Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(karl, Melillo and Peterson, 2009).

Following the American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

The literature review didn’t fill the gap, because in spite of pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of Constructivism, there is a scope for further research. There is no proper quoting of the sources, and thus, the literature review remains incomplete. There remains to have a brief introduction, and a summarization of Constructivism. There needs to be an overview of the essay topic, so that the reader is not boggled with all information at first. The language of the essay will be easy and the topic will be easy to grasp. The significance of my study will be Continue reading...

Most people, however, would not know the various aspects behind the evolution and the view behind these particular living spaces. This paper will review certain concepts put forth by Peter Sloterdijk in his article beginning with the concept of egosphere, then proceeding on to the concept of ‘the cell’ and then to the idea of self-pairing. The paper will, further, also review the relation between the concept of ‘the cell’ and then to the idea Continue reading...

Greenfield Development vs. Brownfield Development

There are many factors to consider while doing planning for an upcoming development. These factors have led to the development of policies around to try to maintain minimum environmental effect depending on the type of development that is to be put in place. In addition to the environmental and ecological factors, the type of land and the developments present determine the mechanisms and techniques that will be put in place to ensure that the project is successful while minimizing the cost. If it is a Greenfield development, projecting the overall impacts on the undeveloped land is essential. Furthermore, while Continue reading...

Introduction:

Moreover, the process of Green Supply may as well be considered as the practice of monitoring and enhancing environmental performance alongside the supply chain. Incorporating environmental awareness into the supply chain management, entails product design, viable raw-material sourcing and selection, efficient manufacturing processes, distribution of the final produce to the consumer as well as post-life product management, particularly after product use (Emmett & Sood, 2010).

Responsible production and consumption:

Greening the Supply Chain and Globalization:

INTRODUCTION

In broad terms, the concept of sustainable economic growth is an attempt to combine growing concerns about a range of environmental issues with socio-economic issues (Bill Hopwood, Mary Mellor and Geoff O’Brien, 2005). However, the phrase sustainable economic growth or development has many meanings attached to it. Sustainability itself (as a strategic concept originated in the Brundtland report in the year 1987) means a degree of growth which can be retained without creating other substantial economic or environmental problems for future generations. In other words, it is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the Continue reading...

The entirety of human experience is, for proponents and advocates of the literary movement of naturalism, a result not of the individual’s choice, but of the natural circumstances of his social and biological environment. Whereas the realists advocate for the individual as the center of the conflict within the page, the naturalists construe literary conflict as emerging between man and nature. Two works that are often considered characteristic of this movement are Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat”, and Jack London’s “The Law of Life”. In both works, the protagonists are pitted against their natural environments, and Continue reading...

Carbon dioxide is the main byproduct in a brewery. Accordingly, we have identified source of carbon dioxide, as an exhaust gas produced in a brewery. This report explains how such a source of carbon dioxide can be harnessed for future use.

Air extraction technology to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide

We understand that due to excessive burning of fossil fuels there is abundance or more than expected amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Accordingly, carbon dioxide can be extracted from atmospheric conditions using various technologies.

INFORMATIONAL ABSTRACT.
For various commodities to be produced, raw materials have to undergo various processes in their specific industries until the final output is produced. This process takes place in industries. Industries need to regulate their manufacturing processes so that they take part in maintenance of the environment since lately it has been noted that the key factor destroying our environment is the industries through the manufacturing process. The emissions from the production of these commodities by the chimneys of factories pollute the air by releasing dangerous gases into the atmosphere. These gases combine Continue reading...

Health Effects if Ingesting GMO’S

Genetically modified organisms have been evaluated in terms of the risks they pose to the environment over the past years. This has been done by comparing the dangers identified and exposed estimates to give a decision to the agencies that regulate these products.

Science
Workforce science is becoming a new method of hiring; big data is being utilized instead of traditional hiring methods in order to determine the best candidates for certain jobs. Firms now provide proprietary data science mining in order to score candidates to find out who will be the best hire. This provides instant numerical assessments of the skills and experience of a hiring candidate.

Recycling is the process of making use of a product more than once in its life cycle before final disposal. This means that a product is used and then after the use, it is treated in one way or another to enable its reuse. Recycling is very important since it allows for reduced initial product which would have resulted in increased resource use and exploitation. From this perspective, it helps in economizing on resources and ensuring proper exploitation. Closely related to this is environmental conservation associated with recycling. From statistics, recycling helps in ensuring that the environment is conserved Continue reading...
