Low-carbon fuel standard

factories are causing serious damage in ecosystems all around the world, as it warms many regions on Earth. According to the National Wildlife Federation many of these factories are burning fossil fuels like oil, coal, or gasoline. When these fuels are burned they release a gas into the atmosphere, this gas is carbon dioxide (Co2) and is one of the biggest contributors to…

“Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to a source, but to find intellectual capital - the world 's best talents and greatest ideas”. (John Welch) Globalization is driven by numerous factors, a few are trading and barriers, people movement, communications, and technology. As trade increases so does contacts. The higher the contacts individuals have the fewer barriers there are in between people and businesses. Over the years trade has been…

Even more troubling, than the potential groundwater contamination, is the claim that the methane released during this process is minimal. Although the overall amounts are relatively low, methane has 105 times more warming impact pound for pound than carbon dioxide and so, just a little can go a very long way when it comes to climate change. Not surprisingly, there is wide disagreement on how much methane is being leaked into the atmosphere as part of the fracking process. In a study at Cornell…

The case study of Tesla Motors begins by analyzing the external environmental factors that influence the company. The external analysis will focus on the Macro-level environment, using the PESTEL analysis, and the Micro-level environment, following Porter’s five forces model. The PESTEL analysis is a tool that is used to determine what factors in the external environment are likely to influence the competitive position of a company. The PESTEL analysis looks directly at six external factors;…

decades later the Communist party was ambitious to adopt capitalist methods and reforms in order to stimulate economic growth. The Chinese Economy becoming more capitalist has resulted in sustained increases in per capita income, enhancement in living standards and cut in poverty in China. Agriculture reform in 1978-1994 discontinued the commune system of agriculture known as de-collectivisation and replaced it with the Household Responsibility System. This supported households to draw their own…

Except creating new travel patterns for people, developed infrastructure increases operational opportunities for firms (Banister D., Berechman J., 1999). There are for example products that have to be transported within few hours and be available at certain radius. Providing firms with new transport options help them to expand and ensure their output is vastly available on the commercial market. Improved infrastructure increases potential output of the factory and makes production more…

National Geographic’s article on Farming and Agriculture states that, “40 percent of the Earth 's land is now given over to agriculture” (Owen, 1). This means the amount of land susceptible to the detrimental effects of climate change is incredibly vast. The Farming and Agriculture article also notes that, “maps suggest that an area roughly the size of South America is used for crop production, while even more land; 7.9 to 8.9 billion acres (3.2 to 3.6 billion) is being used to raise livestock”…

Patients who survive from sepsis are at a very high risk of dying in the subsequent months and years (Mayer, Yende, & Angus, 2013). SEPSIS AND WHAT I WOULD CHANGE 3 The survivors may have impaired neurocognitive or physical functioning, low quality of life, and mood disorders. Additionally, sepsis weakens the individual's immune system increasing their vulnerability to future illnesses. In relation to financial perspectives, sepsis leads to…

technologies and population growth, use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been increased in agriculture. Many agricultural practices have harmful effects on soil quality and contribute to both surface soil and ground soil pollution. Because of low efficiency, fertilizers get accumulated in soil over time and cause ill effect on soil fertility and productivity. Chemicals or salts present in pesticides have also harmful effect on plants and animals when left behind in the soils. These…
