shipping is reduced. Additionally, they consume less energy, making them a more efficient option. However, according to Seong-Rin Lim , a Korean environmental engineer, in his article “Potential Environmental Impacts from the Metals in Incandescent, Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL), and Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Bulbs,” LED and CFL bulbs contribute to the resource depletion of copper due to its high content. Many metals are used for the making of LED bulbs. Ling also mentions that “considerable…

It just keeps accumulating (Kroll). So not only is mercury bad for people and their health, but there is no way to get rid of it. When choosing a light bulb that is going to be all over a house, I would prefer one not streaming out with mercury. Compact fluorescent lamps will help people health wise and help the Earth by not letting out so much mercury, a greenhouse gas which increases global warming. More than 325,000 babies born each year are affected by mercury poisoning (Kroll); cutting back…

Name: Wu, Lin (Jack) Instructor: Monica Isabel Farias GEOG 123A, HW #5 Date: 03/15/2015 Has GE abused Chinese Workers? The Survey of a GE Supplier in Xiamen I. Introduction General Electric (GE) is an American transnational conglomerate corporation incorporated in New York and headquartered in Fairfield, Connecticut. Jeffrey R. Immelt is the current chairman and CEO of GE. As illustrated on its official website, GE “imagines things others don’t, builds things others can’t and delivers outcomes…

EXERCISE 1 As Wenger and Potter (2015) assert, “stand-ups can serve several functions, so it’s important to know in advance what you’re trying to accomplish with an on-camera segment” (p. 284). Personally, I would need to prepare myself thoroughly and conduct some research of my own to learn more about the topic at hand. My goal as a reporter is to establish credibility on the subject and be able to project confidence to the audience (Wenger and Potter, 2015). According to Wenger and Potter…

therefore, buying Energy Star kitchen and home appliances, which are designed to help save energy, money, and prevent greenhouse gas emission. On the other hand, According to Global Warming Facts, “[replacing] a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) CFLs uses 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.” We should consider the fact that we are so lucky to have what we have, but instead we just…

Pollutants are becoming more prevalent in the field of horticulture due to the mass production of harmful chemicals, and other toxic material that somehow find their way into the ground. With this in mind botanists are ever increasing their knowledge of how to combat against the ever looming threat of toxicity by using microbes. Microbes are living bacteria that are found naturally on pretty much everything you have ever touched. So using microbes instead of harmful pesticides, and fertilizers…

Incandescent light bulbs, Compact fluorescent light bulbs and LED light bulbs. To emit 1,100 lumens the Incandescent uses 75 watts of energy, the compact fluorescent uses around 20 watts of energy and the LED only takes 12 watts of energy. The Incandescent light bulb costs around $40 year. One LED only costs around $6 a year, you can use…

practices. Transnationally, there are conflicting environmental recommendations and laws that can make it easy to do the least possible when it comes to being eco-friendly. Companies should make every attempt to follow the guidance of the Global Compact and use innovative technologies to prevent environmental damages. For example, many involved in the diamond industry are pursuing the expansion of synthetic or lab grown diamonds, which would eradicate the need for mining…

etc. It needs much of the organizational efforts to qualify the CSR results in human rights, protection of environment, relations with their co-workers and the society. At international level, GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and UNGC (UN Global Compact) are taking initiatives for the CSR reporting and to create more transparency (GRI,…

images contents. As the final portion of the lab, the researcher will review a NASA mission, to enable the understanding of tool, content, and simulation of the actual study. As a researcher, I began my lab by researching the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The ATCA is operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) at the Paul Wild Observatory located west of Narrabri, Australia. The radio telescope is built up of six dishes all with identical…
