Environmental Management

Our environment is constantly changing. There is no denying that. However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, different types of weather patterns and much more, people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing.

environmental analysis, it is important to understand that they are simply frameworks to orient the user toward a more precise understanding of the business environment (O’Farrell, 2015). It is important to understand the business environment, the universal processes used in analysis and how analysis is converted into strategy.

Commons are resources that people have access to, and there is no payment required to use those resources. Examples of these types of resources are lakes, rivers, oceans, public green spaces, roads, ocean fisheries and many others. A tragedy of commons is when a person finds his share of cost of waste he discharges into common areas that other people use, is less than cost of purifying wastes before releasing them. Many people do not realize that some of their actions are affecting people more than they know. By adding to the tragedy of commons they are making resources less available for others. In Layzer’s “The Environmental Case” gives a classic example of the tragedy of commons by discussing the Crisis and Recovery in the New England Fisheries.

Therefore there is need to educate the general public on the proper utilization of environment and also be enlightened about the importance of the good environment to the future generation. In doing so, they will use self-control and proper judgment as an approach to avoid causing environmental hazards. Also, they put into practice the virtue of courage in putting across the reasons for maintaining a better environment for them and future generation.

With the global warming issue going on as a hot topic in our nation, environment is an essential element to keep in mind. Human life and environment is like two sides of the same coin. Imbalance in the environment influences our life as well.

After the general assessment on my patient when I was able to use SPICES tool, I had the opportunity to visit her apartment, to evaluate her environment, focusing on safety, fall prevention, and any supplementary help available. My patient is living by herself and she is independent in all activities of daily living. She is a widow and her kids are living far away from her and they are in touch with her almost every day via telephone. Her apartment is her universe and from time to time she is visited by relatives. Also, she has a neighbor, a retired nurse who is checking on her almost daily. She is trying to keep up with all housekeeping work, but her recent umbilical hernia surgery prevents her from keeping her house

Although the long term implications of this serious issue are not yet fully understood, it is generally agreed that the risk is high enough to merit an immediate response. Businesses are expected to lead in the area of environmental sustainability as they are considered to be the biggest contributors and are also in a position where they can make a significant difference.

In William Gibson’s Neuromancer the natural world has become virtually nonexistent. The environment has essentially been destroyed and replaced with man-made technology, and anything genuinely ‘natural’ has become unfamiliar and even intimidating to humans. People in the dystopian society of Neuromancer are able to manipulate the ecological world to an incredible extent, so much so that even the human body has become unnatural through the use of medical technology such as artificial organs. However, despite the incredible abilities of technology in Neuromancer, certain imperfections show that humans are still incapable of recreating everything that they have destroyed, and thus Gibson is encouraging environmental preservation in the underlying themes of his book. Gibson’s portrayal of the environment, or lack thereof, in this future dystopia represents his fear of what the world would become if humans were to abandon nature. It is regrettably clear from the beginning of the novel that even the few aspects of nature that have not been destroyed by human activity are no longer viewed with admiration, nor do they contain beauty like they do in the real world; they are dull, gray, and unnerving.

Environmental issues and trends: Factors that may impact the organization and the way it conducts business. Internal issues include staff, services, skills, resources, and needs. External factors include such things as threats of outsourcing. A strategic planning committee compiles an environmental scan, a body of information about the environment. Broad issues, singled out as potentially

Managers in the contemporary society need to acknowledge that they are the ones in charge of the working environment and that it is essential for them to get actively involved in making it more productive, even if this means that they would need to direct their attention towards concepts that are not considered traditional in the field of management. Managers are apparently the most effective when they realize that it is their job to focus on the larger social environment in trying to do their job. Managing is thus not all about the business world and a successful manager would need to concentrate on more than just achieving success

Abstract - Cleaner Production (CP) strategies are fundamentally concerned with operations, environmental sustainability and maximization of waste reduction, recycling, and reuse. This research has the purpose to identify the use of resources and sources of pollution in a cleaning equipments manufacturing and testing factory in order to apply the principles of clean technology for air pollution reduction and standardization of waste water. The research focuses on the assessment implemented by Clean Technology (CT) to inquire into the cause of air pollution and wastewater. The main application of clean technology is to minimize air pollution in the welding area (production area), and to develop a better system for wastewater treatment. Installation of local exhaust ventilation with a proper design can prevent the emission of welding fumes to the atmosphere and implementation of a treatment plant will help for the reuse of water. Both can give the company a better environment friendly and working atmosphere. A case study is carried out in a cleaning equipment manufacturing company.
