The second permit is just as environmentally safe as the first. Our research has shown that a number of other companies have been permitted to and have successfully dumped fly ash in Type III landfills without harming the environment. We appreciate the fact that each situation is unique and needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; however, we feel that a precedent has been established that has allowed fly ash to be dumped in Type III landfills. Our specific case, with the evidence we will show you and the precedent cases, should allow us to do the same and dispose our fly ash in our forty-acre Type III landfill. Two months ago, we at Farnsworth hired a consulting firm, Terra Engineering, to analyze the area surrounding our landfill.
Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming. Since there is not much pollution by hydroelectric plants then the earth should be able to last longer. Another main advantage is that water is provided free by nature there is minimum cost to convert it into energy. The earth is made up of 72% of water then there is a main advantage since we have enough water to last a long time. Hydropower plays a major role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions which could also help with less pollution released into the environment.

As Sydney became an emerging world city and it’s morphology changed, Pyrmont underwent urban renewal (both processes facilitated though the Better Cities Project), the new targeted residents of DINKS, SINKS, YUPPIES and high income professionals, who were attracted to the gentrified waterfront suburb with a desirable location needed suitable accommodation. Areas such as the Finger-Wharves and Jacksons Landing underwent urban consolidation, and became luxury apartments, and warehouses underwent adaptive reuse to become apartments.

The SHFA is active in Pyrmont and its surrounding areas in management of public spaces, heritage conservation and entertainment. Within Daring Harbour, 500m from Pyrmont the SHFA runs restaurants, shops, marinas and attractions like the Chinese Garden of Friendship.
(Mieg &Töpfer, 2013)Urban sprawl has the benefit because of that low density area is more environmental friendly, the large amount vegetations filled in the low-dense area can absorb the carbon dioxide made by the activities of human beings, which causes less amounts of air and water has been polluted by the pollutants. It has been observed that the more green areas are preserved in low-dense areas and there are more open spaces for people to entertain. (Xu,2014) But at the meanwhile,in the reality,developing low-dense area need to replace farmland or open space. However, the approach of urban sprawl will causing the lost of open space and natural habitats because of land
Tyrone Johnson Eng-101-85 10-6-2010 Description The Hidden Life of Garbage According to “The hidden Life of Garbage,” Heather Rogers provides a detailed description of a giant landfill in central Pennsylvania and asks readers to think about the ramifications of accumulating so much trash. Roger’s contends that our society’s throwaway lifestyle results in accumulation of excessive amounts of trash. Background on waste disposal estimated that the average American generates 4.5 pounds of trash everyday. Rogers also states ”Land dumping has long been the favored disposal method in the U.S. thanks to the relative low cost of burial and North America’s abundant supply of unused acreage”. Heather Rogers describes the location of the GROWS landfill, the landfills “working face” plus “Cells”, and the state-of-the-art landfills.
Week 1 DQ Question 1 When considering sustainable business practices, many people first think of energy usage and pollution. What are other elements of sustainable business practices and products? In what way do these elements affect the overall sustainability of a business? Provide specific examples to support your answers. Recycling is the most common thing to think of.
Why using wind power, solar energy, and hydroelectricity? The reason to use wind power, solar energy and hydroelectricity is been an environmental friendly city.

It maintains Earth’s natural resource and eliminates some of the waste that is buried or burnt. But perhaps the most important advantage of recycling is the amount of energy saved and the decline in greenhouse gases and pollution that result from scrap materials being substituted for virgin materials (The Truth about Recycling.
