The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

This paper will be focused specifically on the production of Driscoll’s red raspberries. I will be looking at their supplier Reiter Affiliated Companies, the labor conditions, wages, and difference between the conventional and organic raspberries. There has also been a movement to change the definition of organic and alternative foods so that it also includes the labor conditions. Therefore, there will be clearer difference between organic foods and nonorganic other than just environmental and sustainable differences between the two. The goal is to describe the production and process of distributing raspberries from the time they are planted until they are pick and then distributed in stores.

Getting chosen to work in the Lowell Mills was a gift many young girls in the New England States initially aspired to achieve. The Lowell Mills was a group of factories built in the 1820’s for the manufacture of textiles (GilderLehrman.org, 2015). Increasing population numbers in the United States required more goods made from cotton that required milling and weaving into useable products. Expanding on roles women performed during the War of 1812 and wanting additional compensation and recognition for their work, young girls left their families and went to work in one of these mills. Enticing the girls with promises of tolerable working conditions, a formal education, and comfortable living quarters, the owners of the factories were able to recruit the girls at a lesser wage than what was paid to men (Tindall & Shi, 2013). Eventually rapid growth and unfavorable working conditions led others to question whether factory work was the proper work environment for young girls.

I used two of the 6 inch pieces, one regular and one that I had cut to 45 degrees. I lined up the 45 degree angle with the edge of the 12 inch piece of wood and screwed it in. About 3 inches to the left of that I lined up the regular 6 inch to the angle of the 45 on top and screwed that in.Next, I did the exact same thing but mirrored it. Then, I took the remaining 6 inch pieces and put one at the front base (1) and one at the back base (4) of the catapult. One of the other pieces was the connector between the two 45 degree angle pieces (3) and the other piece was near the front of the catapult where upon releasing the arm of the catapult, the arm would hit causing the ball to begin it’s projectile motion (2). After finishing the basic structure I began working on the arm of the catapult. I drilled a hole about ½ inch from one end, no bigger than the metal rod I planned to use. After drilling the hole I drilled another hole and placed an eye hook about 3 inches from the other side of the arm.I then took a plastic cup and cut it in half and placed it right up against the hook on it’s left side. Doing this will close off the hook so I can squeeze the rubber band onto the hook and the cup keeps the hook closed and the band can't escape. There will be about an inch of wood sticking out past the end of the cup. To secure the cup a drilled a tiny hole and used a ½ inch screw. Then I simply pushed the metal bar through one

Four Seaons were the first condom manufacturer in the world to release a coloured, dotted condom, and also the first to produce a condom that adjusts to the pH inside a vagina. Constant innovation within the company led to the release of the thinnest condom ever, Four Seasons Naked 0.02, only 0.02 mm thickness. In 1997, Four Seasons developed a breakthrough condom made from special polyurethane material; a form of plastic which is thinner, twice as strong as latex and is not damaged by oil-based lubricants. The condom was an outcome of over 25 years of material research Four Seasons, 2013).

First, consortia teams were given the environmental standards they needed to achieve. Therefore, taking the budget into consideration, they only aimed to deliver these base standards. Also, the competitive nature of the design process was seen to limit the consortium from over-committing to any particular area. According to the Bid Manager, it was difficult to over commit funding on sustainability and then fail to deliver other school requirements. Furthermore, because design was running concurrently with bidding, the consortium invested a fair amount of capital on the design of the building, to make it a winning design. The focus was mainly on aesthetics, rather than on sustainability. According to the Bid Manager, the biggest challenge for sustainability was finance and trying to deliver a winning bid within the allocated “Financial envelope”. The limited budget available meant the balance was swung more towards achieving a winning design, rather than a sustainable design. As the Bid Manager puts it:
