Most of the DC Water’s revenue comes from the customers, so they collect partial payments from each customer’s bill to pay for the project fund. The Glover Park and Catherdal Heights customers are charged from $10 to $20 on their water bill to fund for the project, (ANC3B, 2014). The Clean Rivers Project is also partially funded by the government, and donations from federal companies, (O'Cleireacain, 2012). The Clean Rivers Project spent $600 million in engineering and constructions, (Holman, 2013). In conclusion, the Anacostia river, has the outdated sewer system, polluted water, and lack of green infrastructures.
This devastation affects a majority of the U.S. being one of our largest sources of fresh water, and will only continue to deplete, as companies carelessly dump their waste into the lake. Consumption of fish from this lake will soon be obsolete if immediate action is not taken. These are all things that need to be considered by industrial businesses, families, merchants, fishermen, and environmentalists. As long as the waters are polluted the economy will experience great loss, and may even see jobs created by the Great Lake, eventually
In 2000, Coca-Cola was the world’s largest beverage company. Coca-Cola and their bottlers used eighty billion gallons of water yearly for production and employee sanitation (Lawrence and Weber, 2011, p. 48). This vast water usage, created public issues related to water quality, availability and worldwide access. The Center for Science and the Environment, activists, local residents and India’s government expected Coca-Cola to conduct operations in ways that protected both the environment and consumers of their products. Instead, the corporation’s practices depleted India’s water supply and contaminated the products sold to their customers.
These days people have been very caught up in how societies disposal of fuels and waste products have effected the environment. This has led to certain products of our manufacturers to be examined and looked at for change. Kim Jeffery is the president and CEO of Nestle Waters North American Inc. He and others within the bottled water industry are feeling pressure from critics accusing bottled water plastics adding too much bulk to landfills, and a large quantity of energy is being used to transport them. Since Jeffery is a CEO of a water company, the position he takes on this debate is very clear that he is not for a ban on bottled water.
The dam was built to create electricity and water storage for their population which is migrating from a sustainable existence to a more urban culture. Since more Chinese gave up farming, the cities in which they do need more electricity and water than the cities in a rural existence. Also, It will prevent heavy floods downstream. The dam will conduct eight times the megawatts of what the Hoover Dam produces. The dam was completed in 2009, and cost around 24 billion dollars.
The one question when thinking about water is what type of water will you drink? Many people in the world today are switching from drinking tap water to drinking bottled water, but I rather prefer tap water than bottled water. Bottles water is usually simple water from various sources which have been filtered. First, Bottled water is about 1,900 times more expensive than tap water according to the Environmental Working Group. Second, bottled water is harmful for human being and the environment according to the Environment Working Group.
Even though they want their unique taste they have to be very careful about it because one little mistake can ruin thousands of liters of beer. In example they have to dry the malt in a certain way otherwise it could be a danger because nobody really knows what can happen if they do it differently. Also it can contaminate the environment and its surroundings, which do include human beings. They contaminate rivers because people all over the world are throwing trash, everywhere that at some point end up in a river or a pond. Talking about the greenhouse gasses they contaminate the air contributing to global warming that today affect the people that inhabit this planet.
A century later, The Coca-Cola Company has produced more than 10 billion gallons of syrup. John Pendleton died just 3 years after the invention of Coca-Cola and unfortunately without realizing the phenomenon he had created. John Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper created the first Coca-Cola logo in 1887. They thought that the two Cs would look good in advertising, and they began to create the well-known logo for Coca-Cola. The script was developed in the mid 19th century.
Recycling Should Be Mandatory Non-biodegradable waste poses a great challenge to environment conservation efforts. This is simply because this kind of waste does not decompose naturally leaving profound effects on the environment. The lack of a proper disposal mechanism puts the world at a poor position in as far as environment conservation is concerned. This calls for government intervention through regulations to revamp the campaign for both the preservation and conservation of Mother Nature. Disposal techniques such as burning and using dumpsites only push the environment further down the drain (Logomasini, 1); since such waste disposal methods bring about environmental concerns as well.
One noted Top Trend Challenge is that of “increasing concern for the environment”. The text relates that Coca-Cola met resistance from markets that were hesitant about the health benefits of the product due to its high sugar content. Other markets were concerned about the actual production, concerned about the labor at the plants, referring to it as “child labour sweat shops”. I include these as environmental issues, along with the concerns for the environmental
