Reduce total carbon emissions by 50%” (Staples: Environment - Renewable Energy and Efficiency). According to Nielson.com “Global retail analysis shows increased sales for brands with sustainability claims on packaging or active marketing of corporate social responsibility efforts” (Press Room), a strategy Staples, Inc. has been working towards since 2010. Additionally, Staples, Inc. hopes to not only improve its own operations, but has a vision to “Achieve zero carbon emissions in our…

spiraling out of control causing increasing atmospheric temperature which contributes to negative climate changes. Due to transportation emitting twenty-three percent of greenhouse gas emissions, it is only fair to say that countries all over the world should enforce proper regulations and requirements to slow down these emissions. Renewable energies has created many solutions for reduce greenhouse gases. Once these alternatives are implemented more effectively the dilemma of global warming will…

limit their Greenhouse Emissions. These countries greatly promote alternative energy, organic produce and recycling. In countries where these social values haven’t been instituted, there exists a reduced drive to promote the reduction of Greenhouse Emissions. Lastly, the political atmosphere of a country affects the Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions of an individual. Much like the social factors, a government can do much to promote the reduction of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of its citizens.…

affordably reduce carbon emissions on US soil through the restriction and regulation of energy production. The Clean Power Plan should not become a law because it goes to extreme measures in order to achieve a nominal environmental impact, all at the cost of destroying the energy sector. While it has numerous flaws, most significant downside to the CPP is its impact on the energy sector. The bill calls for all energy plants to either upgrade their machinery to meet new CO2 emission regulations,…

global warming. However, the impacts of high emission don’t fall on these countries. According to the report from the Center for Global Development (2015), the developed countries are responsible for 79% of global CO2 emission. In contrast, the developing countries suffer most from the impacts of global warming: in the last 25 years, 95% of fatalities from…

basis of five key indicators: energy, water, waste, CO2 and emission of solvent” (Volkswagen Well Built: Production. Retrieved from http://en.volkswagen.com/en/company/responsibility/environmental-responsibility/production.html) Environmental indicator CO2 Emission From the bar charts (see figure 1), we could find both direct CO2 emission and total CO2 emission per vehicle are reduced year by year. However, the total CO2 per year emission per year have risen “due to increased consumption of…

of Concerned Scientist reported that USA released approximately 5490.63 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. In addition, the USA has one of the highest per capita for carbon emission, which is around 17.62 metric tons of carbon dioxide per person. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that carbon dioxide emissions are causing the gradual heating and change of the Earth’s climate since it is a greenhouse gases that locks in the thermal energy from the sun. the heat caused by the gas…

California Wildfires: A Burning Problem California, as of recent decades, has a warming relationship with wildfires. The state has seen an increase in wildfires which some believe to be attributed to anthropogenic climate change. Climate change is expected to result in more variable weather patterns that are likely to lead to longer and more severe droughts (“Climate change”, 2016). Generally in late spring through autumn California has a dry, windy, and frequently hot climate. At times…

at risk. Something must be done to slow this process. This is why doing nothing to control carbon emissions is not an option. Greenhouse gas emissions are caused by many things. The largest portion of emissions comes from energy production, transportation and industries. Other contributors include agriculture and land use. There are several gases that are considered to be greenhouse gas emissions. They include Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Hydrofluorocarbons are the most common.…

ranging from rising sea levels, shrinking mountain glaciers to global warming. In the past, the government of Canada developed plans to meet Kyoto targets, and the plan included mandatory emission reduction for factories and raise funds to invest in projections that could effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the government of Cananda Canada’s current plan to reduce greenhouse gases is insufficient. The report from Environment Canada shows that Canada is failing to achieve…
