“By distributing locally, [Wal-Mart] said it saved 112,000 gallons of diesel and total freight expense of more than $1.4 million” (Hoffman, 2008, p. 1). One direction to help stifle such threats through added technology is through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips. These are chips that are embedded on products packaging for the purposes of tracking. This will help to mitigate any losses due to shrinkage and other factors such as obsolescence.

Changing to bio degradable paint pots – Chic Paints Limited’s decision not to change to ultra-green bio degradable paint pots, would have a lasting effect on the environment as the current paint pots used would take so much longer to dispose when they go to be recycled, whereas the new proposed bio degradable pots would shave years off the carbon footprint that is being left by Chic Paints Limited as they would degrade up to 95% biologically after they have been finished with, that wouldn’t just cut down the carbon footprint left by Chic Paints Limited, but also the same goes for the trade customers that buy the paints from Chic Paints

To achieve the company’s stated CSR objectives REI has instituted an employee commuting policy, climate-neutral travel framework, and improved shipping procedures based on the greenhouse emission metrics. As a result, while 2010 sales increased 14% from 2009, its total climate impact increased by less than 7.3%. The addition of four new stores and moving two locations to larger spaces, has allowed REI to decrease its energy consumption by 2.4%. Beyond energy efficiency initiatives, REI took additional steps to decrease waste and its total paper consumption. Although REI admits it still has a very high rate of paper usage, because of its direct mail campaigns and catalogs, the company has taken steps to optimize its catalogs, use electronic means of advertising such a mobile phone and internet and also increased the share of FSC-certified
The government has already done a good job encouraging people to be more “green”, but the power they possess could improve the situation exponentially. In a study done by Magali Rheault, it was shown that over 70 percent of Americans try to use less water, avoid environmentally harmful products, and voluntarily recycle (Source E). This shows anyone that individuals do attempt to keep the environment unpolluted. However the government still needs to interfere more, because in a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, it was shown that “the typical family spends about $1,900 a year on home utility bills”, but a “large portion of that energy is wasted”, electricity puts “more
They have developed a more efficient way of production and have embrace technology, which helps to speed up the production. The environmental issues decreased dramatically over the last fifty years when farming levels of feed, fuel, water, energy, land and crop nutrient resources needed to produce pork became environmentally aware. The Carbon footprint has become a small fraction of the US greenhouse gas emission due to improved regulations. Concerning air emissions, data has been gained that will be used to help farmers better understand the emissions produced from their operations and allow them to help make improvements wherever possible. For the water footprint, developments are being made to produce a tool that will calculate the water use that is involved in farming operations that will help farm owners identify areas for improved efficiency.
