Gmo's Avoidable Environment

But, as good as their arguments may be, I strongly believe that GMOs are perfectly good to eat and don’t do nearly as much harm to the environment/economy as we think. To start, the argument that GMOs are bad for the environment is nonsense and scientists have proven that GMOs are actually better for the environment. When you plant a genetically engineered crop, you plant and organism that is reliable and needs less space since the yields are greater. To further this, when you use less space you use less fertilizer and therefore have less toxic runoff then an organic field. Also, since they take up less space, they don’t need nearly as much equipment to harvest and therefore have reduced greenhouse gas emissions which helps to decrease the

Environmentalism has become a great concern in all sectors of business, evidenced by the recent jump in energy prices, and empirical data provided by several different environmental and scientific agencies. The Hotel industry is no different, in fact, it would benefit greatly from the recent push for all businesses and business sectors to "Go Green." Yet, the industry has long resisted the changes, and is only recently catching up to other industries that have converted their operations to have greener strategies.

This report was commissioned to critically evaluate Marriott Hotel chains strategies on the promotion of sustainable tourism development and their policies put in place. The research draws attention to the fact that Marriott international have implemented many sustainable strategies such as involving in sustainable activities from planting mangroves to working with sustainable supply chains. Each year Marriott produces a sustainable report which involves goals achieved and future goals. By 2025 Marriott wants to achieve most of their goals such as reduce their water usage , carbon, waste and food waste. These approaches will be measured each year to see how their doing to achieve their set goals.

A man goes shopping at his local grocery store with his list in hand, as he begins picking out fruit from shelves and placing them in plastic bags. The average natural fruit has changed over time, for genetic modification is now required for every crop. He picks up a freak mutant of what once was a regular apple and looks around to make sure no one is looking before he takes a bite out of it. After that, he hides the seed and continues his shopping. Later that night, he tosses and turns in bed. He begins feeling the side effects of that GMO apple he ate, his body changing and morphing into something else. Stumbling out of bed, he made his way to the mirror, feeling a great pain all over is body. He pushes himself up against the mirror onto his feet and in the moonlight he sees what he had become: His skin has become bumpy, blotchy and green. Moss and sprouts of apple tree saplings protruded from his body. Patches of leaves grew in random places. Long vines grew where his hair once was, covering his face. He parts his new “hair” to see that he no longer had two regular human eyes, but instead multiple eyes, each distorted and deformed. The neighborhood is awoken by the beastly screams and cries in the night, as the man curses GMOs.

GMOS have been cluttering many parts of the United States for many years but the issues surrounding them have recently made surface. A GMO is a Genetically Modified Organism. In other words, genetically modified means the materials that make up an organism have been altered and artificially engineered somewhere in a laboratory. Scientists create what can be called the ‘ultimate plant’ which are able to sustain life outside normal conditions that make organic plants susceptible to death. In most all cases GMOS are created to sustain the application of a herbicide or other chemicals. It is a more efficient way to get the most out of what nature gives. Some companies who produce GMOS

GMO’s are a result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. GMO’s can come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals, or humans. We should avoid GMO’s, and here’s why.

The conflict of GMOs has changed a little over time but not as dramatically as some of the public believes. The amount of GMO crops has increased substantially, as well as the profit from the crops. But the overall conflict, the views on the issue the measures to stop or change GMOs has gone almost nowhere. (Ballotpedia) The conflict has always been about the same issue and the solutions have always been along the same premise. To stop using GMOs as a food source, or recently to make non-GMO products labeled. The only thing that has changed is the companies that control the GMOs have grown considerably since the controversy has started. (disabled-world) (Food Democracy)

The modern world has countless dilemmas. While we as Americans live in a society of comfort and satiability, numerous human beings all over the world are faced with issues of hunger, disease, lack of housing, and other issues associated with poverty (i.e. lack of basic necessities). Most of these issues can be solved through the introduction of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. GMOs are any organisms which have had their genome altered through the process of genetic modification. The liable solution mentioned previously presents itself through a subgroup of GMOs known as GMFs, or genetically modified foods. GMFs may provide solutions to these global dilemmas, and in the process, become of extreme importance for future research and development.

The environment is also a beneficiary of the hotel’s environmentally friendly programs aimed at reducing the use of chemical agents used in the upkeep of the hotel.

One of the biggest concerns about the implementation of GMO’s in the United States is its environmental hazards. Most GMO crops are able to resist certain herbicides, but the weeds that these herbicides kill have been coming back stronger and more resistant than ever. These “superweeds” require even stronger and more toxic pesticides to be eradicated (GMO Inside). A survey has found that waterhemp, a major weed in crop fields, has become resistant to multiple different herbicides including Roundup (Concerns about GMOs). In the United States, superweeds have taken over nearly 10 million acres of farmland (GMO Inside). In North Carolina alone, nearly a million acres has been infested. As many as 21 weed species have developed a resistance

We eat them every day not knowing what risks we are taking and the risks for the environments.They are called GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). GMOs are found in almost any product, approximately 80% of processed food in the United states contain GMOs.

People hold a very intimate relationship with food, whether it be for nourishment, a peace offering, trade, part of a religious practice, to provide a sense of community, or to satisfy a personal need. Its meanings are rooted deep within and are the foundations of many cultures. There was a time when humans were very connected to the food they ate. Not only did they know its origins, but they ate what was needed for survival. They were as much a part of earth as any other animal, although they had an intelligence to understand,

Some of the arguments for the benefits of using GMO’s in the food system includes; faster gene trait creations, increase in crop yields, and decreasing in the use of pesticides (Jordan, 2002; Kumper & Qaim, 2014; Seshadri, 2016). In Dr. Seshadri’s presentation, she explained that because of gene selection, we are able make evolution faster than the natural selection way. Scientist can select certain traits that they want to achieve and inserted into a new specie and hopefully the trait would be pass on to its offspring. This process can happen relatively fast. GMOs can be resistant to pest or herbicides, which makes it an effective means to control pests. As a result, the crop yield and the profit gain for farmers has increased (Kumper & Qaim,

As is says in the CBS news article, “Farmers, stores and many other groups benefit from GMOs”. In all of the years of GMOs being used, nobody has ever been affected by them of gotten sick because of GMOs. GMOs are the best thing that has happened to this country food wise, simply because of how much productive our nation's corn, beets, potatoes, and many other crops.

Many hospitality industries are doing their best to be sustainable and green. Even though there are many issues hospitality industries are facing. Sustainability includes not only environmental issues but also preservation of local cultures. The industries are still struggling to find measurements and benchmarks for “green” operations generally and energy conservation specifically. Food service operations also face sustainability issues, complicated by guest interest in healthy food and local sourcing. Hotel industry processes and their related resource consumption in hotel operations have some form of environmental impact (Singh, Houdre,
