    Although we were a little more focused on shooting par this past weekend rather than the company, our recent meeting regarding the issue of maximizing energy efficiency has interested me into researching wind turbines and other sustainable practices. As a manager and colleague, I believe it is not in the company’s best interest investing into wind turbines at this time and also due to Carbondale’s low average wind speed. However, I believe there are alternative energy-saving options that could be implemented to lessen Groggs peak energy expenses and specifically reduce the company’s dependence on coal. Nowadays, many businesses are starting to focus more and more on environmental sustainability and implementing such practices would allow Groggs Peak to improve its commitment to corporate social responsibility while bettering customer loyalty. After conducting some research, I am excited to share my findings and alternative benefits for your proposal.…

    After reading and watching several supplementary mediums I can undoubtable say that America's economy should go green. Although this route may become a costlier method for America, it is also the most beneficial method for America as well. America is burning fossil fuels at a monumental rate, and the effects are going to become irreversible soon. For example, global warming is one of the possible irreversible effects that could result from burning excessive fossil fuels. In the supplementary video by National Geographic’s on global warming, it started burning these fossil fuels put an immense amount of carbon monoxide which leads to the greenhouse effect. However, if America's economy goes green we could stop these effects and save our ozone and…

    In recent years, much emphasis has been put on the importance of eco-efficiency and eco-effectiveness due to raising concern of global warming and the environment in general. Basically, eco-efficiency means reducing the environmental impacts of goods and resource intensity throughout the entire life cycle to a level at least in line with the Earth’s estimated carrying capacity; while at the same time satisfying human needs in short reducing the environment impact of products and resource used for human needs. Eco-effectiveness on the other hand means doing it right, instead of reducing the harm of wrong things. This essay will discuss in detail the benefits and reasons why eco-efficiency and eco-effectiveness is important to organizations and the concept of sustainable development with examples from some companies in the world today. There are many benefits of eco-efficiency and eco-effectiveness to firms. One of the benefits is economic benefits. Companies have long been thought of as profit-maximizing entities which are expected to engage in activities that meet the financial responsibility of the firm. In recent years, the concept of corporate social responsibility is more highly regarded. Hence, fund managers are more inclined to investing in companies that are deemed environmentally responsible; due to the fact that companies that are not environmentally responsible might end up with the wrong side of the law. For example, King and Lennox (2002) suggests that an increase in environment performance translates into improvement of reputation, an increase in investor's trust and a decrease of investor's risk. Therefore, with the importance of attracting investors and strengthening business ties, it is important for organizations to sustain eco-efficiency and eco-effectiveness (Hay et al. 2005). Eco-efficiency benefits can also be reaped nation-wide. As…

    Since the early 1970s, when the world had its first energy shortage crisis and recognized a looming environmental crisis, 
interest in developing new sources of energy has risen significantly [1]. A spike in oil prices (2007-2008) created a more recent wave 
if interest in renewable energy sources [2]. In the United States, federal laws, such as the Energy Independence and Security Act of 
2007, as well as state level renewable energy standards support greater use of biomass to produce energy [3]. Both industry and 
academic communities have sought substitutions for fossil energy sources. In the 1990s, renewable energy sources, including biomass, 
hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and wind, were introduced as novel replacements for fossil fuels…
