Now, in the past few years, some cities and states have started banning smoking in all public places even, in some cases, bars. [8] People worry about what smoking does to them, well I'm here to say that cars produce more harmful chemicals into the air then smoking does. We cannot ban everything just because we disagree with it. As for the non-smokers worrying about their health as they go to the bar and drink, you will not be hurt by a night in a Smokey room just as you will not harm your body forever by a night of a few drinks. 8 Senator Rodney Ellis; “A smoke-free Texas?” State senator proposes statewide smoking ban, January 18, 2007, Austin American-statesman.
The first action that Company Q could take to improve its attitude toward social responsibility would be to donate the outdated food to the local food bank. All the food that goes to waste in the dumpster is just going to a landfill and will not be used for human consumption. It is not socially responsible to create more waste when the outdated food can be used and consumed to help those who are in need. The company states that they are worried about employees taking food and claiming that the food is a donation. If Company Q is worried about this happening with employees, they could only allow owners or store managers to decide what is donated.
No Impact Man Colin Beavan made the ultimate life-changing sacrifice by doing the No Impact Project. In the book No Impact Man, Beavan’s methods were probably a little improbable to the average Joe. One of the methods Beavan did was turning off electricity completely in his apartment to stop releasing carbon in the air. Also, Beavan bought food from only a 250 miles radius and only used reusable grocery bags. Though Colin Beavan completely changed his lifestyle to make a positive impact on the environment, not everyone can completely change because of the lack of time, discipline or capital, but we can always cut down on the negative effects that we apply on the earth.
In my opinion, panhandling should be legal. If there is someone being an aggressive panhandler, they should be fined or imprisoned for harassment, not panhandling. People that are in need of money for food, rent, personal hygiene products and other things that are important, should be able to freely sit or stand with a sign asking for money. If someone does not want to give to them, they should accept that and not beg them to give them some money. Tourists normally look down on panhandlers because they do not like to be harassed while they are on vacation.
However, deforestation effects everyone on a global scale. The loss of species, never to be seen again, is heartbreaking enough, but the loss of entire ecosystems might not effect anyone emotionally but it will affect them physically, with rising water levels, rising temperatures, and the greenhouse effect. By causing local wildlife to relocate into more urban environments, adversely impacting climate change, and negatively contributing to global atmospheric changes, deforestation should be a huge concern, especially for Americans who are typically more educated then the rest of the world. Americans have a responsibility to nature, and should use the education afforded to them by this country to spread awareness on deforestation. As Berlau states in Our Unhealthy Future, “It’s important to do what we can to protect the inhabitants of the environment or the planet...
Many state Environmental Protection Agencies, are taking a closer look at what fracking is doing to the environment in their specific states. Though nothing is going to be perfectly safe, placing standards and following through are the first steps in any process. Companies are starting to see the devastation drilling is causing in communities. Some have taken their own steps to correct environmental issues and are working with environmentalists to keep the planet and those who inhabit it safe. Hopefully the higher standards these companies are implementing will be forced on those who just drill for the money with no respect for our health or environment.
It is common knowledge that it is inappropriate to walk through a public place like a grocery store with just a bathing suit. That is where the saying “no shirt, no shoes, no service” comes from. Lengel goes on to say “Girls, I don’t want to argue with you. After this come in here with your shoulders covered. It’s our policy.” As a manager Lengal handled the situation appropriately, but Sammy
It is dangerous and people need to take it seriously. By not finding better ways to prosecute DUI’s more people will continue to be killed. 6) There is no further information I want the Professor to know about this essay. Michael St.John Professor Jodie Baeyens ENGL 102 Effectiveness in Writing June 5, 2012 Difficulty of DUI Cases Driving under the influence (DUI) is a major problem in the U.S. DUIs are dangerous selfish acts that affect all social classes and ethnic groups. DUI’s happen when a person has no regard for the rules or regulations of their state or the safety and well being of fellow citizens.
The government should ensure that the police patrol more areas of the park to ensure that no sexual behaviour/intercourse is happening as if the police are more strict on this law individuals will eventually stop committing the crime. This will decrease the amount of condoms being on the floor, which decreases the chance of it imposing a risk towards a child. The second way of trying to minimize the risks caused by used condoms being on the floor is by the government installing CCTV cameras throughout several locations within the park recording faces and the individuals who are committing the crimes should be given community service if identified. The individuals who are given community service should be given the duty of cleaning the parks and ensuring that all condoms located within the park and disposed of and are not within the presence of children.
Along with the recycling system, construction jobs would also be made readily available since in most rural areas in the United States there are not any nearby recycling centers for the recyclables to go to. As well as construction work being made available, more law enforcement would be needed to help implement the mandatory recycling project. All in all, Americans are constantly hearing about different environmental problems from the things they read to what they see and hear on the television. Most of the environmental problems Americans hear about are very negative, including pollution or global warming.
