There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

TTIP or Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership is an agreement that is negotiated between the European Union and the United States of America. It is an agreement that is being portrayed as a beneficial and valuable treaty for the people's benefit, but everything is not as clean and clear as it is portrayed (Ustr.gov., 2016). There have been widespread oppositions to the agreement, and it is feared that this agreement could cost a lot of jobs in the UK and other regions of Europe. In the 14th round of TTIP negotiations that took place in Brussels on 11th-15th July 2016, ...

Bergamo is one of the most historic cities in the Lombard region of Italy. The city has been undercapitalizing on the tourist industry, bringing in marginal revenues in part because of the relative location to Milan, a city larger and better suited to massive scale tourism. In fact, Bergamo is usually avoided by tourists, except for those taking guided tours, mainly because Milan has the main airport in the region and because it is believed that the city has little to offer, which simply is not true. Recently, the joint cooperation of Slovenia and Italy to expand upon the ...

McDonalds has come to create a network in both Italy and Russia. Italy seems to have better balance of payment and government balance indices, interest rate, trade policy instruments and not needing to lose over currency rates while dealing with Eurozone importers, and even unemployment and GDP growth rates. However, unemployment and the lack of growth indicating poor economic performance and social welfare situation may advantage the brand in Russia through better low-cost labor availability and consumer reorientation on less expensive restaurant offerings. Overall, neither of the country is the ideal market for the brand, yet both have their ...

BRICS effect on global capitalist economy

The debates about the increasing role of emerging economies became more vigorous since the global financial crisis that became a start for a new global framework with the developing countries surfacing as a major hub. The most attention is given to the economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and the South Africa (BRICS) that had demonstrated high growth during the last decade against the global recession.

The European Union (EU) is a collective of twenty-seven countries who came together at the end of the Second World War in the pursuit of peace and cooperation. Since joining together, the European Union has helped to bring about just over half a century of “peace, stability and prosperity.” (Europa, 2011). The Union’s main focus is to unify Europe and to “make war unthinkable and materially impossible” (Schuman, 1949) as discussed by the then French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman in his proposal to form a ‘supranational’ community which became the EU. Following the horrors of the First and ...

This moon is much closer to the earth than the rest and can be seen through the ...
