Wood that is freshly cut (also referred to as green wood) and is considered young compared to older “seasoned” wood. Green wood contains more moisture and is considered “unseasoned”. When examing green wood you may find that is light along the cut edges. Unseasoned wood may be harder to ignite and most likely produce more smoke when burned. However seasoned wood should burn quickly because of its relative dryness.
It is also a weed suppresser to prevent other weeds from growing because it grows so fast and densely, it blocks out sunlight to other weeds that are trying to grow. This allows farmers to use hemp as a replacement for herbicides and reducing toxins into the ground and surrounding water sources. Hemp can be used to replace petroleum and plastic products and are still biodegradable so it reduces the amount dumped into landfills. Since hemp can be used to replace gasoline and petroleum essentially replacing oil this reduces the environmental risks and impacts of oil drilling. This is a major environmental impact made when off shore drilling accidents happen made seen to the public by the BP accident in April of 2010 where 200 million gallons of crude oil was “spewed” into the ocean.
It would also decrease deforestation; the hemp plant can be used instead of trees to create many products. It takes less time for the hemp plant to grow than it does trees. We could stop cutting down trees and start using the hemp plant to make the same quality products as trees produce. It can be used to make paper, building materials, and many other products. This would also create more jobs.
Currently Daniels & Millers website states they are paying 70 cent per pound of aluminum cans [ (Daniels & Miller,Inc., 2011) ]. Scrap metal recycling help reduce the energy spent on producing new materials. Today many items are constructed with recycled metals because metal “does not shed its material composition or its power” [ (Learning about the Scrap Metal Recycling Process) ]. Since the new metal does not have to be processed, this helps save the manufactures money by reducing the costs. Citizens can make money when turning scrap metal.
Governments in NIC (newly industrialized countries) have tried to lure TNC to their countries. One way they have done this is by keeping the land prices artificially low; this is so the TNC can build factories and other building for less money. They also have a relaxed attitude to environmental laws so the TNCs do not have to pay out for expensive treatments for their waste so it complies with strict laws like the ones they have in the US, UK and Japan. Another thing that attracts TNCs to NICs is the cheap labour cost, weak unions and lack of minimum wage. This means that the TNC can pay workers less, not worry about providing good working conditions.
Triangle Fire: Chapter 1 Reading Response Factories were popping up all over the United States and offered work for many poor people. The conditions were terrible and many workers were injured or even killed on the job. “By one estimate, one hundred or more Americans died on the job every day in the booming industrial years around 1911” (Drehle 3). Despite the dangerous conditions, the owners did nothing to change it. They just hired the next person to ensure that they would continue to make money, so many of the workers were involved in strikes.
Combustion of organic compounds can result in detrimental impacts on the environment such as the generation of acids and production of carbon monoxide, particulates and soot. When organic compounds that contain sulphur, nitrogen are combusted, the reaction may produce gases such as sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. When these compounds react with water molecules, it will produce acids which fall as acid rain.Acids dissolve calcium carbonate, meaning that monuments made from marble and limestones are particularly vulnerable. In environmental terms, acid rain flows into water bodies. Acid rain releases aluminium from the soils into the water, an element which is highly toxic to many species of aquatic organisms.
The government gives out a lot of tax credit to help assist with the output of different air pollution like they give a tax credit for windows which would reduce the use of lights, and heat or air condition system running and burning a lot of pollution. Next they have put a lot of effort into the hybrid and electrical cars which are more environments friendly. The light bulbs are another way as they are more energy efficient which once again helps reduce the electrical company output of carbon dioxide. Us as human have to do our part also in saving our environment like instead of getting the plastic bags at the grocery store get one of the reusable bags, instead of throwing everything in the garbage start to recycle bottles, cans, paper, and plastic. Stop littering because if you litter by a forest it can start a fire if gets to hot and lighting strikes the paper and start a fire.
Because they are hazardous. As in documentary they showed in an ad that fracking is safe. But what they mean by safe? If water, air and noise pollution are created by fracking then how it is safe! Fracking also created huge natural losses such as it crates pollution, destruction of forests to create its pipe lines.
This is not only about management, but more sort of a way to eliminate costs, that are not essential for production process. Most businesses that manufacture their product spend most time on inspecting quality and repairing faulty products, which aims to eliminate errors from manufacturing process, in this simple method. Greatest benefit of JIT is that business reduces operating cost, and therefore has advantage over its competitors. There is also a benefit of reducing manufacturing times and shortening delivery
