Human Reliance On A Healthy Environment

When analyzing a case, it is very important to discuss the major biological, psychological, and social factors involved. It is important to pay special attention on how these factors intersect on one another and how this intersectional play affects the whole well being of a human. Robins, S.P., Chatterjee, P. & Canda, E.R. (2012) stress that “all systems theories are based on a holistic view of people that acknowledges the interrelationship between biological, psychological, social cultural and spiritual dimensions of behavior” (p.52). One must ask, why is this important? The answer is quite simple. The intersectional play determines whether a person is successful in life or not. In order for one to strive for success he/she must have motivation to create positive outcomes, which drives change. But what happens if one experiences negative intersectional play? His or her life tends to be full of distress, hardship, oppression, discrimination, and hurt. This is evident in Michael’s case.

The world economy is a very complex system; in the system harmful externalities disrupt capital flows and determine economic productivity. Most notable of these externalities is inadvertent global warming. Spending towards research and regulation of climate change at both the national and international level are very important in determining current and future business trends. Economists and scientists worldwide continuously debate the pros and cons of emissions reduction and what consequences can quickly follow. Though many have different views on the issue, all can agree that the immediate and long term effects of climate change have become an economic matter of paramount importance. The sweeping impact from climate change will have important fiscal, financial, and macroeconomic ramifications that influence global commerce standards.

Many firms are learning that being environmentally friendly and sustainable has numerous benefits. (O.C Ferrell, Fraedrich, Ferrell, 2015). This could enable them to increase goodwill from various stakeholders and also save money in the long term. This will mean that they are being more efficient and less wasteful of resources, which will enable them to be more competitive by satisfying stakeholders. The CEO of

Ecosystems is the dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment that work together to form a functional unit and they are constantly changing due to the fluctuating equilibrium from natural stress and human action which has had adversarial impacts on ecosystems. This is evident in Minnamurra rainforest as human induced modifications and environmental stresses had resulted in a vulnerable ecosystem. Furthermore, the removal of factors that contribute to the vulnerability of an ecosystem is important as it affect the functioning of the ecosystem as processes are accelerated, biodiversity is decreased which greatly affects humans. Despite the negative effects caused by humans, they have discovered that ecosystems are susceptible from harm caused by natural environmental factors or human impacts and realised the importance of protecting and managing ecosystems therefore have implemented management strategies that are supposed to prevent further detriment and as a consequence may induce resiliency.

Economic analysis that weighs all costs and benefits of a particular model must include environmental considerations. That is to say, the potential for short-term economic losses caused by conservation in the present, should be measured against the dividends that conservation will pay in the future (Nordhaus, 2007). If the earth is truly our most valuable commodity, then analysis under these conditions should recognize that if a “dollar value” were placed on environmental sustainability, more often than not it would outweigh any initial monetary loss resultant of the implementation of more sustainable practices.

The personal impact I'm having on the enviroment right now is to ride my bicycle more often than driving this is important because if you're taking a short trip it would be better to just ride your bike instead of wasting gas, another personal impact I have on the enviroment is walking by doing this you can reduce the pollution in the enviroment and walking and riding your bike helps the gasses that harm our enviroment. Another way I'm helping the enviroment is by riding with other people instead of driving or having others ride with me that helps reduce carbon dioxide and it can be eaiser that way if you're going to the same place as the person. The next impact I have is shopping online how this helps the enviroment is shopping online than

They looked at two scenarios, inaction, where business’ continue finding and using carbon as they see fit, and action, where business’ use a low-carbon energy mix. They found that not only would the investment cost of the action scenario be no more than inaction, but it would even cost a bit less- 190.2 trillion dollars for action and 192 trillion dollars for inaction. This is before even considering the amount of money saved by the effects of the action scenario itself. The report found that, “the difference in climate damage costs between low (1.5°C) warming and high (4.5°C) warming scenarios could be as high as $50 trillion” (Business Insider). The effect of such a large economic company reporting this data is the perfect example of how using economics for the sake of reversing global warming can be really beneficial. The argument often used by economists is that becoming more sustainable would hurt the economy, but the data in this report proves just the opposite, and how terrible it would be if we did nothing. For the sake of investment in industry’s like coal and gas, this information is often denied. But this is not anywhere near the first time industry’s have had to adapt due to uncontrollable events. This report emphasizes the importance of recognizing

When looking at the corporate businesses and the undoing of the human habitat; the United Nations has sanctioned many organizations to track climate change such as the UNEP, the World Meteorological Organization and the IPCC. Since the mid-eighties, these agencies have monitored the changes, yet have failed to convey the significance. Studies done by these agencies have concluded that the last fifty years are attributable to human activities and big corporations which lead to the changing in the compositions of the atmosphere throughout the 21st century (Saltori). These activities that are mentioned are those by means of businesses that grew into national conglomerates. Concurrent with business growth, the greenhouse gas emissions have grown seventy percent from 1970 to 2004 (Lehner). Recent studies have shown that 122 corporations produce eighty percent of greenhouse gases (IPCC). The climate is going to drastically change the world forever, but at whose expense? What exactly does the political eminence of these companies have

The system is supposed to enhance its internal practices to reducing greenhouse gas, and they will be increasing recycling processes. More importantly, it will also create strict guidelines for JPMorgan Chase's lending decisions when it comes to The mining, forestry, oil, and gas industries it will no longer finance projects that pose a danger to the environment It has also decided to encourage clients to design plans to try and reduce the large amounts of greenhouse gasses to help the environment. The modifications come from years of the hard word by the Stakeholders as well as some other groups that included nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), investors, and activists. Stakeholders, including NGOs, investors, and activists, as well as communities, labor, and consumers all, played a significant role in improving corporate behavior. Some NGOs are willing to put themselves in danger by using strategies of conflict. Others have been working to create partnerships with companies to help them green their production, often in ways that save them money. As well, the investor community is taking a progressively active role in work with the companies in the hopes of creating a partnerships with businesses in order to help them green their production, which often save them money on the long term outlook. Some of the investor community is taking an active role as well encouraging corporations to consider the long-term financial risks of social and environmental issues rather than the next quarter's

Places have a lot of significance tied to them depending on what they mean to people. The place that I am going to talk about in this paper reminds me of a peaceful place, because it has provided me with comfort and has allowed me to grow within this calm place. Oxford Dictionary defines place as “A building or area used for a specified purpose or activity: ‘the town has many excellent eating places’. Specific memories link with certain places that individuals go to, and have had them shape them into who they are, or have guided them into having a better understanding with what brings them peace. It has been shown that places actually do bring a certain emotion or feeling onto a person, almost like an extra sense. “Modern science is confirming that people’s thoughts, feelings and actions are indeed shaped not by just their genes and neurochemistry, history and relationships but also by their surroundings. How the environment affects a person and several places that are considered by some cultures to be sacred and discussed.” (Gallagher, 1993, p. 62)

For many years, the issue of climate change has been thorny mostly because it affects the whole world yet a few countries are the greatest contributors. Climate change has led to global warming that has affected many countries in terms of weather variation, flooding, poverty, and desertification. While the great debate rages over whether to apply the constraints previously agreed on, climate change continues to have its toll on the environment (Goldenberg 2015). Owing to the devastating impacts of climate change over the years, the world leading environmental bodies need to apply some constraints to corporations, individuals, and nations to curb the menace. Without a concerted effort towards cutting carbon emissions, the planet will get only warmer. Of course, the possible restrictions may not be palatable to all nations, individuals, and corporations. It is so because such limitations may curtail some freedoms previously enjoyed by various countries, organizations, and people (Pielke, 2015). In this respect, this paper examines the kinds of constraints that when applied to corporations, nations, and individuals, will curb the climate change menace, and the potential conflicts with such measures.

There are many arguments that have generated from the assumption that, human being is a product of his environment likewise; (McLeod, 2013), “nothing they say happen by chance, whatever a man does or say must have being thought about beforehand”. It is not unconscious, the theory made use of conflictual statement for instance, every behavior and feeling is deeply rooted in the unconscious mind, which means, what one does, is not being aware or not preplan, also, childhood experiences are also affects a person’s behavior and feeling. All the experiences a man has right from childhood age influence the character or personality of a person. It is widely argued that all behavior has a cause, whether conscious or unconscious action has being preconceived or determined. As long as nothing is new, whatever happens to a man has being happening in the past, the same scenarios applicable to attitude. Little information or experience exposed to right from childhood age does make impact on the later development of a person.

Several guidelines have been published by different organizations to support companies in measuring, reporting and managing their carbon footprints. One commonly used methodology is the GHG Protocol produced by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and World Resources Institute (WBCSD/WRI 2004). This methodology presents detailed guidance on corporate emissions reporting. More recent standards are from the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 14064 series also provides guidance on company carbon footprint calculation and reporting (ISO 14064-1 2006; ISO 14064-2 2006). It bases on some concepts from the GHG Protocol.

With the development of the global economy, the interaction between environment and companies became more important, therefore, throughout macro environment analysis, which includes political, economic, social, environment, legal and technology (PESTEL) that provides an indispensable part in the comprehensive list to understand opportunities and threats on the businesses (Searle and Barbuto, 2010). In this industry, political, economy and technology would mainly influence the strategies, thus

As an aggressively growing economy, India faces a lot of in order to meet the resource, water and energy needs. As the economy grows so does the need for energy. Energy consumption in India is increasing at an annual rate of 4% whereas the economic growth of the country has been around 8% annually over the past five years. Though historically India enjoyed excess water reserves, these resources have now become scarce because of overexploitation and uncontrolled population growth and this increasing population will continue to be a pressure in the future on India’s resources. The cement industry has a high impact on the environment, it uses large quantities of water, energy and contributes close to 5% of the global carbon dioxide emissions.
