A Short Note On Green Earth, Inc.

Executive Summary: Decreasing revenue for our Green Works product line puts us in a conundrum. Do we continue pouring advertising dollars into a product with a majority market share but unimpressive returns, or should we stop, thus sacrificing our desirable position in a market with massive growth potential?

Heather Roger claims our current garbage disposal methods are short term and etiquette. Rogers’s position is clear that we need to minimize the use of landfills and create better means to discard trash. In supporting Rogers’s environment views I think that we need to create a more economic and environmental friendly garbage disposal system. Heather Rogers and Lars Eighner both acknowledge the issue with society’s throwaway mentality. Eighner proves that we throw away perfectly working stuff, having survived off others discarded materials. Eighner argues against excessive waste we create but does not have any prospected solutions. Whereas Rogers acknowledges the obvious need to minimize our consumption of waste but argues the need

It will make it easier for everyone who lives in the community.Less street cleaning will be done. The flyer states "According to the Enviromental Protection Agency, the average American produces more than four pounds or trash each day and recyles only about a third of that amount. Those daily pounds of trash add up. They result in tons added to unnecessarily to our landfill each year." This piece of evidence states that Americans have built up trash in our enviorment that adds up and isn't good for our landfill. The trash that is placed on the ground adds up and if we recycle it can easily save our landfill.

Municipal solid wastes are leftovers made by the population such as food, plastic bottles, household wares and many more. These items referred by most as “the garage” or “trash”. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2015) In the early 1900’s, incinerators were used to burn waste however by the Mid-20th century, lawmakers enacted the first government regulations in an attempt to address increasing concerns about the environmental impact of unregulated waste management practices. With the first waste management legislation being passed in 1965, brought along the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970, thus bringing us into a new world of waste management.(Vault, n.d.)

First, there will be no safety or health concerns with our solution. Most of the interaction with waste will be done with robots and not humans. Since compost is not harmful to humans, the building that holds all of the trash will be in doors and will and away from civilization. Our citizens will also be safe since our plant will be dislocated from civilization as it will be miles away from people and their homes or workplaces. Most of the buildings will be away from people to keep them healthy and safe. Second, there are minimal environmental impacts from our solution. There will be no pollution caused in the process since our sorting buildings are sealed and compost causes almost no pollution. Our solution will also be energy efficient because compost needs no energy to create and our sorting plant uses solar energy that it creates itself. All in all, the solution that our group created is environmentally safe, it keeps citizens healthy and safe, and it is energy efficient.

This website Keep Tennessee Beautiful (KTnB) is an online web-teaching source for recycling. The KTnB’s goal is to encourage “Tennesseans to be more responsible for improving their community environment.” This website offers information to anyone interested in recycling and gardening with compost. There are benefits of recycling, such as bringing new life onto something old. As students of Columbia State Community College, we must be willing to fight for a cleaner healthier campus. We can set an example for the community by recycling. Students can make a website prompting our community garden and recycling center for information on what can and cannot be recycled, and how

As the population of cats in North America increases, so does the ownership of them as pets. Omega Paw’s novel and unique litter box, self-cleaning with a closed top, has tapped into the market with customer satisfaction and positive reviews. The company looks forward to reflect this positivity with an increase in sales and profit levels. Introducing the product in grocery stores would result in weekly sales of $126,000, highest among other alternatives. With direct and indirect competition along with the production constraints, Ebert (president) is motivated to break through these barriers and prolong the growth phase of this product with increased sales and profits.

As a result of this growth, Ontario has struggled to manage the volume of green bin waste to the point where it is sometimes not technically even recycled anymore. According to Welsh, in 2008 York region and Guelph shipped their kitchen waste to an incinerator New York State because their own facilities had to close (2009, para. 12). This is a shocking finding and is clearly a step backwards for recycling initiatives in Canada.

An excuse that many people have involves composting, “ I would love to compost, but it will just get in the way.” When an individual or group uses a compost it is a barrel or bin. Individuals can start composting by simply getting a bin and putting it somewhere that no one can see, that way it’s not “in the way.” As a matter of fact, groups or organizations can also use composts. People simply put leaves, grass clippings, or certain food into the compost bin, and after a few days, or weeks it turns into fertilizer. Organizations can do this so they can save money on landscaping when they already have the materials for themselves. For example, churches can have a compost bin, and the food that is left over from, say their fellowship dinner they can put in there. They could put leaves that fall from their trees, or even grass clippings from mowing into the compost so they have fertilizer for their garden beds, or flowers. Composting can replenish the

TSA OSHE is advocates of composting, but TSA OSHE cannot be involved in the proposal or the decision for the addition of this program with any perspective parties. We can, however, provide some support in the general education of how composting works and benefits to

This initiative is designed to make Ontario a better place to live. This is made possible with the consideration of not only the health of the environment but the health of its people and surroundings. This initiative began in 2007 with waste management, when this was proven a success, the company broadened their horizons and looked at many more environmentally friendly decisions they could make that would positively impact our future generations. For this initiative to begin many things about the company were taken into consideration; things like indirect

As a result, local communities have come together to initiate recycling efforts; the percolation of their enthusiasm has led to the widespread acceptance and even encouragement of recycling at both the state and federal levels. With recovered materials demanding higher market prices and curbside collection and commercial recovery on the rise, it is not unrealistic for Americans to expect to see nationwide recycling rates of thirty-five to fifty percent by the turn of

After analyzing the alternative solutions, the best solution for the Green Giant Company would be to gradually move the plant operations to Mexico. By gradually moving the plant to Mexico would allow the company time to make plans for the Salinas’ residents. Green Giant can create workshops to help employees to find new jobs, cross-train employees for relocation opportunities, and to build the necessary infrastructure in Irapuato. The Green Giant Company should offer severance packages to their employees; this may help them financially until they could find other jobs. Also, Green Giant could offer relocation opportunities to employees who are willing to move down to Mexico. The support and effort of the company to show their employees, their appreciation for their hard work could help Salinas’s residents deal with the lay-offs easier.

Recycling is an essential part of reducing the amount of waste filling up landfills. Recycling materials cannot only reduce waste but pollution as well. Unfortunately the typical recycling programs such as curbside pick-up and recycling centers require significant commitment from the public to be successful which generally leads to low participation. However there may be a solution to the problem. The pollution prevention and reduction program suggests the use of materials recovery facilities. Materials recovery facilities sort out recyclable materials from other waste products such as compostable items. By sorting out the waste at one central location more items get recycled and waste is reduced without public participation. A recent article by Wang (2010) suggests, “The installation of materials recovery facilities (MRFs) can be an alternative solution to the problem of low participation of voluntary household and curbside recycling in fast-growing cities.” Materials recovery facilities can be a viable solution for waste management problems where public participation is an obstacle. This solution also provides less societal impact because lifestyle change is not as critical.
