McKendree University Going Eco-Friendly or Not And How To Approach Going Green This paper will cover McKendree University going green and the approach going green. The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) are standards that certify buildings, indoor air quality, and the use of natural lighting. The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is an international organization that limits the use of buildings throughout construction and demolition. The main focus of this discussion will be construction because of the new buildings McKendree is providing within the next few years. The main issues will cover the background of schools going eco-friendly, and the changes the campus has made over the years to help the environment,

Reena Villariz AP English- Period 4 Ms. Cunningham March 31, 2011 Conserving energy is definitely crucial in improving a nation’s economy, environment and society. Throughout the years, scientists and other experts developed various ways on how to save electricity. Daylight saving time, which was initiated by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, is one method in which individuals can properly maintain the environment. Due to its massive significance to mankind’s society and surroundings, the daylight savings time should be continuously regulated for its outstanding benefits such as crime reduction, energy conservation and traffic safety. Daylight saving time offers a more harmless environment; it decreases crime rates that usually happen during the evening.
Since then, many companies have progressively integrated policies that promote sustainability into their business strategies “partly in response to federal legislation and partly due to stakeholder concerns” (Ferrell, 2011, p.

With reference to waste management in urban areas discuss the extent to which sustainability can be achieved? A sustainable city is one that meets the needs of its both its present and future inhabitants, and an effective waste management system is often an underlying principle deployed in order to achieve successful sustainability in urban areas. Waste management usually refers to materials produced by human activity, and defined as the collection, transport, processing and disposal of this waste. It is of vital importance - particularly with recent global warming issues - that urban areas implement a successful waste management scheme, and examples such as the Bristol ‘Poo Bus’ and the ‘Waste to Energy’ programme in Copenhagen show that across the world urbanised areas are trying to address the issue. The more traditional forms of waste management, such as incineration, landfill and composting are heavily debated; which is the best method of waste disposal?
