Case Study for Environmental Protection

During and since World War II the United States has produced millions of tons of toxic wastes during the manufacturing and processing of products. These hazards were often left abandoned and no one really paid attention to their effect on our environment. In the 1980s Congress established a Superfund Program. It was left for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer the superfund program, to find these hazardous sites, investigate and determine the worst ones, and then clean up those sites across the United States. Over 15,000 sites were identified and 1,400 were named to the National Priorities List (NPL). One of the towns was Picher Oklahoma named in the Tar Creek Superfund Site.

The citizen suit provision of the Clean Water Act is an important tool to protect and improve rivers, creeks, streams, and wetlands especially as state agencies may not have the resources to conduct regular water quality monitoring on every water body. Citizen involvement in monitoring and reporting pollution problems is key to watershed protection; hereby helping the government enforce the laws.

Over Tennant Company’s (Tennant) 141 year history, they have consistently remained a producer of floor-cleaning equipment and technologies focusing their efforts in producing products for non-residential use. Since the new CEO Chris Killingstad has come to the company however, he has been dramatically changing Tennant’s value proposition with a broader emphasis encompassing “chemical-free cleaning and other technologies.” This case shows Tennant’s move beyond traditional green efforts to centralizing environmentally-friendly performance at the heart of the company’s focus, and whether this new focus provides enough benefit as a competitive advantage.

This kind of factory is doing tasks, which affect the environment. Thus, the maquiladoras must change the form that they clean their machines and work areas such as caterpillar, a world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment: diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives. they used politics of environment that its said, “We continually encourage all of Team Caterpillar to challenge waste, eliminate inefficiencies, and work to deepen their understanding of our true impact on the world in which we live.” So, qua Caterpillar the maquiladoras need to have in mind if they want to care for the earth such as using friendly chemicals, recycling their junk, and changing their

Produce an environmental audit, and report assessing the potential environmental impact of the proposed project on the local Natural Environment.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 has proved to be one of the most important environmental protection programs of all time. Also known as Superfund, this act spawned dramatic changes to the environment of the United States. Superfund aimed to cleanup hazardous waste sites in America and protect the health and safety of the general public. Over the years, the Superfund legislation has authorized the government to aid in the cleanup of toxic waste in a variety of effective ways that have ensured the welfare of its citizens. On the whole, CERCLA has transformed hazardous waste sites, changed the outdated disposal methods that companies utilized, and ignited environmental awareness.

Stan is thinking about starting a toxic waste disposal business. He plans to collect the waste from businesses that produce it and then dispose of it in a sanitary landfill. In order to start this business, Stan will need a substantial amount of money to buy and develop the landfill site and purchase five trucks capable of transporting toxic waste.

Prior to the establishment of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Congress enacted several acts to protect the public and the environment from hazardous toxic wastes. The 1976 Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) established authority for controls over hazardous waste generation and disposal. (Resource, Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Federal Facilities, 2017) Subsequently, the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) granted the EPA authority to protect public health and the environment through controls on toxic chemicals. Shortly after the enactment of RCRA and TSCA, President Carter declared a State of Emergency at Love Canal due to the overwhelming public demand for

Companies constantly face the ethical problem of destroying the environment to create a product. There is a dilemma between creating a good people want, and preserving the environment. I believe there must be a balance between serving the present and the future. Regulations must be more strict in unnecessary destruction, but also understanding that some processes are needed for the well-being of present society. Considering the future and understanding that we are digging a deeper hole for humanity is required, but completely rejecting this change is

It is important to clean the environment from an ecological perspective because our environment gives us many benefits. We are becoming more connected to our environment through global communication, business, and transportation(Berry). “Cleaning can best be viewed as a fundamental environmental management

The major stakeholders involved in habitat mitigation include non-governmental organization and specifically, non-profit environmental organizations, the government and governmental organizations, and the public. Non-profit organizations often rely on the public as a workforce source. For Friends of the Alameda Wildlife Reserve, the public plays a key role in monitoring. Monitoring is an essential aspect of habitat mitigation. During the breeding season, it is important to know what risks California least terns are experiencing, such as predators, neurological difficulties due to contaminants, or food shortages. A group of more than forty volunteers monitors the site

The United States of America for two centuries has been at the forefront of new ideas, from the major changes like challenging the construct of monarchical rule, to pushing the boundaries of technological capabilities in space flight. In recent months it seems this generally progressive outlook on complex and challenging issues has regressed. The significant recent change in Presidential administrations has to lead to deregulation of well-intentioned environmental standards within the automobile market causing unpredictable future market volatility, irreversible environmental and social costs, and the questioning of the role of the public and scientists in environmental policymaking.

In such apprehensive condition, our firm is experiencing a serious issue being an environmental group is emphasizing non biodegradable materials of SafePack. There is an increased emphasis on sustainability of environment.

Organizations need to be aware of what is going on in their environments that might concern them, and more so, during the planning process. Diverse but overlapping environments ought to be monitored; the macro environment, the industrial environment, the competitive environment, and the organization’s internal environment (Ginter, 2013; Pfeiffer, 1986). At Rapha AL, my chosen organization, the environmental scanning will include distinct internal and external factors that would enable Rapha gain excellent understanding of the current and emerging issues that might affect it, and inspire the setting of clear and achievable goals. In this paper, I will analyze and address the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT); discuss current and prospective customers and evaluate the impact of environmental factors on the organization’s effectiveness to achieve the established goals within the strategic plan. Furthermore, I will address evolving external issues that could influence the strategic plan, evaluate the benefits of competitive analysis and Rapha’s capacity to achieve the strategic goals and objectives in a 3-year strategic plan.
