Introduction With the advance of technology and the extreme change of weather in various parts of the universe, there is the increase in the energy that is used both by industries and households. Due to the increased need for the available energy, there has been an ongoing campaign that is meant to educate individuals on how best to conserve energy and to use a little amount of it for maximum benefits. Thus, most environmentalists are creating awareness of energy efficiency to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. However, with the realization that renewable resources of energy significantly contribute to air pollution, most companies and governments are striving to educate their citizens of the importance of renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy resources refer to that type of energy collected from resources that are naturally replenished while non-renewable resources of energy are often obtained from fossil energy that is hard and difficult to replenish. This assignment will...

Introduction             With increased globalization and improvement in transport and communication networks, it is now possible to enjoy delicacies produced from far parts of the world. However, it is only a fraction of people who understand the environmental and economic impacts of purchasing food products produced in far parts of the world. This is because majority of people dismiss the impacts of purchasing food from the global industrial system as trivial, forgetting that the effects are cumulative in nature. Current research indicates that purchasing food from the global industrial food system has significant implications in terms of food security, ensuring food safety, and economic as well as environmental impacts. Due to the significant negative impacts, consumers are encouraged to purchase locally grown foods. This paper examines the implications of a meal that we commonly eat involving eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, and coffee. Meal Analysis Source Identification             The food items that I purchased include eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, and coffee for breakfast....

Topic 1 Environmental Activists At a lumber mill workers were being injured when the band saw was knocked off the pulleys by metal spikes driven into the trees. Local ecological activists had driven these metal spikes into the trees to make the lumber company stop logging in a specific area. In response, the company ran the trees past a scanner to look for metal. This prevented the men from being injured. So, the activists drilled holes in the live trees and poured concrete into them. The scanners could not pick up the concrete and men began getting hurt again. Were the actions of the environmental activists ethical? Why or why not? What would you do if you were the owner and why?   Topic 2 Discussion Topic: Corporate Entrepreneurship Please refer to Exhibit 14.7, Who Is The Entrepreneur?
