This section addresses various case studies regarding the importance role of education, policies, incentive programs in motivating sustainable consumption all over the world. The aim of this paper is to design a framework of an action plan to promote and motivate sustainable consumption in Saudi Arabia. Also, the current study focuses on the role of education, incentives, and policies that help in changing the current unsustainable consumption patterns. The United Nations Secretary General’s High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability recently wrote that “sustainable development is not a destination, but a dynamic process of adaptation, learning and action. It is about recognising, understanding and acting on inter-

Furthermore, the survey results show that the three crucial environmental issues in Saudi are: the congestion problem and transportation systems, solid waste, and inefficient use of water and energy.
2. A Portuguese Case Study in Ownership and Regulation
According to a study conducted in the Portuguese region of Madeira, the study aims to find out to what extent water bills service is educating and encouraging consumers about the importance of consuming water sustainably and inform them with water shortage issues. A questionnaire was distributed to 386 households in the Madeira Region. The results show that water bills are lack of educational information. Also, the results suggest that redesigning the water bills may have a positive change in the consumption behaviour. The majority of domestic users have an incomplete perception about the items included in the bills. On the other hand, a small group of the participants is aware of the amount of water they are consuming and how much money they are paying for the service. This small group is more conscious in adopting environmentally-friendly behaviour and more sustainable consumption.

The environment is among some of the top issues to be looked upon by the human population in the world today. Sustainability is a word often times used when speaking of this subject. This is a concept represented in the articles “Sustainability” by Christian R. Weisser and “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers” by Robert Paarlberg. Each author addresses the issue in different ways; one giving examples of this issue and the other clearly defining it. Each author is writing to spread awareness of this issue. As overlapping topics, each article has similarities and differences to the other.
The article “Water Works”, published by Orion Magazine and written by environmental specialist Cynthia Barnett intends to inform the reader anyone can make water an important factor. Overlooking it has become common many people in the United States have adapted to through the changes that have occurred in society over time. At the beginning of her article, she describes an area that does not make water care a priority, whereas in another location they make it very evident water is important. The location she describes is gloomy, grey, and is a populated area that has old water systems that are damaging environmental factors. Barnett continuously emphasizes that people are the ones who can help restore nature. This is at a less cost than
The final identified recommendation is the use of a standardized action plan format that will provide the framework for change. Defined expectations and deadlines will ensure that progress is maintained amongst the numerous and diverse clinical settings. My role-modeling of this step will teach my management team how to utilize this tool as well as assist with setting the expectation that they utilize the tool with their staff members as well.
In Audre Lorde’s “Transformation of Silence into Action and Power”, she tells us that the thing she regrets most are her silences. She says that with silence comes fear of many things, ‘but most of all.. we fear the visibility without which we can truly live.” I think many students entering college fear this same thing. College is such a huge transition, many people fear that they won’t find their niche, and won’t be truly happy with their college experience. Most importantly, college is about finding a place that can help you be successful. Adrienne Rich tells us in her speech “claiming an Education” that we cannot simply receive an education, but we must claim one. This is why finding that source of support in college is so important, so we don’t become invisible and we can achieve our goals.

The map of Norwest Station shows its proximity to the Business Park, Marketown and Hillsong and for the residents especially whilst it is still being built they are at a disadvantage due to the traffic congestion, noise, pollution, unsafe and unattractive area. Once complete these problems should be solved but the station will bring about more people to the already bustling Business Park.

We also have our own radio show that has weekly discussions on the topic.
The next time you're sitting back enjoying a hot cup of coffee consider that you've just consumed up to around one hundred and forty litres of water, that's around how much water it took to grow the coffee beans that are in that coffee. This may be a shock but it is trifling compared to the amount of soil, ground, surface, and rain water it takes to produce most goods humans consume or use on a daily basis, the volume of which each Australian individual consumes is known as the 'water footprint'. Water footprints show the extent of water use in relation to how much is needed for the production of goods consumed by inhabitants of a country. Without package labelling most Australians would have no idea how much water that they are using by purchasing food or goods, or purchasing a home appliance. A global study “Water Footprints Of Nations” (Hoekstra & Chapagain) found that Australia's households had the worlds worst record for the consumption of water, despite having one of the most efficient farming and industrial usages. It is important for Australian residents to find ways to save water in their homes and in the industry to

According to Wheelen and and Hunger, the purpose of a program is “to make a strategy action oriented.” In the previous section, we documented the recommended business, corporate, and functional strategies as well as policies General Electric must implement. These new strategies and policies are no guarantees but will need time to be implemented. The success also determines on how well the management teams will describe the importance of implementing these new strategies. The managers will be responsible for ensuring the employees understand and buy in to them.

Since the discovery of oil in the 1960s, the UAE and notably Dubai has experienced dramatic development, which skyrocketed in the 1990s and still continues to this day. This economic and population boom has naturally had negative consequences on resource security and environmental sustainability and the problem is currently too evident to ignore. (Luomi 2014) The region also witnesses a highly consumer-orientated culture where much of the lifestyle comes at the expense of the environment. Dubai is said to have one of the highest per capita levels of resource consumption and ecological footprints in the world (Visser & Tolhurst 2010).
