Many timber companies are only worried about profit. They cut down huge amounts of forests at a time and then replace the empty land with tree farms. Tree farms consist of only one or two different types of trees. They are planted in rows and consist of trees of the same age. This affects the environment because it does not create biodiversity in the “new” forest and it is not a stable environment.
These manufacturing methods can be replicated by other businesses in the countries and improve their ability to manufacture goods. This improved ability to manufacture within the country and should lead to an increase in the GDP of the country. This will improve the trade and relations between the country and many others. Also in some cases these MNC's will invest in the infrastructure of the country. This will improve the trading process for not only the company, but also the rest of the country.
Canadian government chose not to sell their oil across the seas despite those years being amongst the most expensive for oil prices on record. Instead the Canadian government has deliberated a very dull plan (as it has proved to be) which consisted of Alberta not being able to take part in the national trade, but instead supplying the whole Canada with oil, by a price lower than the one of the market. As a result, Alberta lost an immense amount of wealth which could have been acquired through the process of oil sales. Consequently, the workers could no longer get paid and therefore were discharged from their workplace, ceasing the production. In the meantime while Canada was out of the oil market, a Norway has became an oil dominated exporter.
Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil. Using food crops to produce oil aids our independence but, it also has the potential to drain our food supply, especially in a time of emergency. All these things give example of the many ways hemp oil could potentially replace our dependence on foreign oils and propel us into more eco-friendly options to sustain our daily lives. The plant would benefit people if we were to let it thrive and have taxes on different productions. The author closes by saying the government is preventing farmers from growing hemp for any reason and spends four billion dollars a year trying to keep it
Closing these locations also leaves its employees without a job and the community without a local grocery. Employees given an opportunity to transfer to another location would be potentially faced with longer commutes that could require them to relocate their families. Before closing locations, Company Q should involve community leaders and express their concerns. After years of requests from its loyal customers, Company Q has finally committed to stocking organic and other health-conscious foods on its shelves. However, these products come at a large premium, which makes them unobtainable for many of its customers.
Fukuyama explains, “This is because there are a number of countries that would like to increase there tax percentage of GDP however they do not have the capacity to enforce such tax laws” (Fukuyama 20). There is more to capacity than just the ability to implement rule. A state can force or use coercion to demand order yet not be legitimate, therefore that state would not have capacity. In order for a state to have capacity it has to enforce its scope legitimately. A useful means of measuring a states capacity is using the corruption perception index (CPI).
WW1 ends – The ending of WW1 meant that the European countries were able to meet their own demands and therefore did not need any more supplies from America. Farmers suffered from overproduction and could not afford to keep their homes or pay mortgages, some farmers even decided to become sharecroppers. In 1924, 600,000 farmers went bankrupt. Also, there was stiff competition from Canadian, Australian and Argentinean farmers who were selling vast amounts of grain to the world market. Over-production – Fewer products such as cars, consumer good etc were not being sold as factories were making more goods than Americans needed or could afford to buy.
Overpopulation will be biggest problem of the 21th century. Overpopulation means any given species cannot exceed the carrying capacity of the land it inhabits. Because of the pressure overpopulation, people don’t have enough water, food, and living area. This is the reason they develop the vast forest area used for farming and clear the area the people to live. For example in areas of Nepal, they cut down the vegetation to provide wood for heating and construction, the fertile topsoil is eroded by rain because it is now without the protection offered by natural vegetation.
Other people who have houses in the area will not be happy to see the price of their houses decreasing, and if they bought their houses at the peak of property prices and the impact on house prices is very dramatic then these people could experience negative equity. House prices will be affected not only because of the increase in supply of houses but also due to the fact that having the ‘green belt land’ near to the area, means house prices would be higher, as the area is more desirable to potential house buyers with this land nearby, but with urbanisation of this land, then house prices will decrease. This land may be a big tourist attraction to the local area and in losing this land, money from the tourism may be lost, jobs may be lost and the local environment will be effected, not only on plants and animals but on people as well. If the land was a national park, then where the area may have received lots of money in tourism, this will be lost as people won’t be visiting the area if it is just houses, this would affect the local economy. Jobs in looking after the area will be lost, for example park wardens and people working in information centres & visitor shops will be put out of jobs and may struggle to find a new job, if they don’t have experience in building or labouring.
Because the Classic line tends to only have a strong support in the northeast states, and in some sales districts in these states, it represents a relatively high proportion of total sales. Furthermore, eliminating the Classic line will make obsolete about $233,000 worth of raw materials inventory that is used only in the manufacturing of Classic line products. In addition, the workers in the Classic line are likely to be old and very loyal. The loyal workers are a big assets to the company. It also concerns about the business ethics issues.
