Because they are hazardous. As in documentary they showed in an ad that fracking is safe. But what they mean by safe? If water, air and noise pollution are created by fracking then how it is safe! Fracking also created huge natural losses such as it crates pollution, destruction of forests to create its pipe lines.
Company Q’s current mind-set on social responsibility appears to be quite negative, uninformed, and antiquated. It would appear that the company chose to close stores in high risk areas without first investigating how they could provide service to this under-served segment of society while still maintaining a profit margin and ensuring the safety of its employees. The company’s veiled attempt to make quick profits by providing only a small, high margin sampling of the customer requested health-conscious or organic products has likely served only to alienate and diminish their customer base. Lastly, the company’s response to the local food bank’s request for donations appears to a feeble attempt to create a valid reason to avoid the extra work that may have been associated with this endeavor. This response likely had the added effect of offending their employee base by suggesting that their employees would utilize the program to steal from the company.
There was not process in place to follow for recovery for when a mistake was discovered or a problem was reported. The funds were not distributed for the natural disaster that they were earmarked for which has caused some uncertainty for future donations from the public and private donations. This system is supposed to be part of the corporate culture and should have established integrity for all the stakeholders. However; the American Red Cross did not have this in place which has caused turmoil within the organization and has caused them to be running a deficit and has had to downsize. A code of code of ethics should be developed for the American Red Cross.
Deforestation results from the removal of trees without sufficient reforestation (the replacement of trees). As a whole, deforestation reduces biodiversity, which is the variation of life forms, and negatively impacts the climate and geography not only in the United States, but also around the world. Some of the problems that need to be acknowledged range from forest fires to the lack of national policies
Human health alone is not the full extent of the problems related to genetically engineered foods. The effects that the pesticides have on our environment are also a major concern. Dangerous toxins are excreted into our water supply. That alone should be enough to raise some eyebrows, but there’s still even more. Large companies have totally neglected any responsibility to what is best for the common good, and have greedily taken advantage of our capitalist country to increase their own personal wealth at the expense of others.
Wildland Fire Prevention Abstract Living in a house surrounded by nature and wildlands can be peaceful and beautiful, but it can also be risky. Wildfires that spread into wildland-urban interface (WUI) communities can be extremely costly in structural losses. The 1991 Oakland and 2007 Witch Creek fires in California resulted in property losses of $2.7B and $1.5B, respectively. The risk of a high intensity wildland fire, is rising in many wildland ecosystems, and with it comes an increased risk to homes in this interface area. The good news for people living in wildland settings is that you can do many things to protect your home even before a wildfire gets started.
1b)Coal is a fossil fuel, which means when it is burnt it releases unwanted pollutants which have a negative and harmful impact on our environment. These pollutants are: Carbon Dioxide- This gas is considered to be the most harmful pollutant as it contributes to global warming. Coal is attributed to approximately 20% of the total pollution globally per year of all the fossil fuels. Sulfur emissions- when sulfur mixes with oxygen a harmful substance is formed. SO2, sulfur dioxide effects our trees and water systems and is the prominent cause of acid rain.
Introduction: Organisms can have a positive or negative effect on the environment through its interrelated interactions. For example, humans have had a largely negative effect on environments through deforestation and air and water pollution. Through deforestation (a direct action) right here on the Kennesaw State University Campus, the communities within the forest has been wiped out. The organisms in that community have been forced to either flee or face death. Temperature is considered to be an extremely important abiotic factor due to the fact that it is the driving factor behind a variety of chemical reactions, which are necessary for some biological functions.
As noted by Inkpen (2013), the fires and other tragic events since 2006 can be directly linked to ineffective laws, political corruption, aggressive market competition and lack of ethical business practices, CASE STUDY: BANGLADESH GARMENT FACTORY FIRE Analysis 3 From a national or local perspective, companies routinely deal with the social, ethical and political risks associated with doing business. However, those same risks take on a different context when doing business
Whether physical or virtual, our critical infrastructures are the networks, systems, and assets that are vital to the United States. If these critical infrastructures are destroyed or incapacitated, it would have a debilitating effect on our national public health and safety, national economic security, and our overall security. How the DHS engage private enterprises in the protection of critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). The Department of Homeland Security is ready to help public, private, and government sectors prepare and recover from any catastrophic event that may occur across the United States. They conduct assessments within communities in regards to the infrastructure to help businesses and local government officials decide where the resources are needed to enhance security prior to events and recovery after an event.
