It's main of the image and icon for everyone when they heard the name of Genting. Therefore, a constant improvement is important to ensure the good name is always inherited from time to time. The Details of the Environmental Management System As a responsible group, ...
The working title of the study is initially drafted as: Economics of Solid Waste Management focusing In particular, on the economical ways and methods of solid waste management and benefits to accrue in Kenya. The research will focus on urban centre especially Nairobi and its environs the paper discusses in detail the research proposal of the topic. Solid waste management is the polite term for garbage management, a system of handling the amount of garbage generated by human. In this research...
Mauritius is a small island and due to land scarcity, it can neither have many landfills nor have all its wastes recycled. But it should be noted that incineration is not the ideal solution to this problem; it will rather encourage more wastes to be produced. First of all the Government should try to implement a zero waste policy. The use of plastics bags should be forbidden. Sorting of wastes should be encouraged to be done at home or onsite itself (plastics/organic/metals). Electronic gadge...
This paper is a prelude to a full research proposed to the government-funded Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) intended to determine the effectiveness of current environmental practices in NSW as part of achieving the Australian government's 60% percent reduction target of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Australia's emissions in 2005 were 4.5 times higher than US, Japan and global per capita. Highest contributors by state were NSW, Queensland and Victoria ...
The study explores how the CapHaz-Net Project maps different perspectives on social vulnerability. Relevant approaches and indicators have been identified to measure vulnerability. The study highlights the importance of developing a conceptual model as a basis for developing indicators measuring social vulnerability. The study shows that social vulnerabilities may change between the different stages of the disaster cycle, and that people can move in and out of vulnerability depending on their...
The environment is an important ecological, economic, and social or cultural resource that is fundamental to the sustainable development of any region and which positively impacts on the quality of life of the local residents (Nautiyal.S and Kaedrele.H; 2007). Since the last two centuries, industrialization has supported a mushrooming and voracious population and have created massive prosperity; however, this growth has often been detrimental to the environment (Daily.B.F and Huang.S; 2001). ...
Local officials, developers, and planners have increasingly realized the economic development and the perfect environmental components for the purpose of community growth. However, this awareness comes from the times of environmental neglect, quick and irreversible conversion of good land for farming, excessive development in the urban areas, increased population, as well as, loss of icons in the plant and animal communities. Also, increased development in the recent day affects the air, wate...
Research both past and present into solid waste in Nigeria like most developing countries with an absence of adequate solid waste management system has been focused more on adequate collection and disposal options than on the waste generators, storage or even an avenue for waste reduction which aids in reuse and recycling, hence creating major gaps. These gaps are areas that need to address to ensure that there is a sustainable management of solid waste generated to prevent environmental haza...
Limnology is one of the oldest fields in science. In 1850 F. Simony was the first to discover thermal stratification in lakes for this accomplishment along with P. E Miller who discovered fresh water plankton had been regarded as the founder's of limnology however these discovery's were not as significant as the work of a Professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. The founding of the subject is credited to two publications in the late 19th century: Stephen Forbes "The Lake as a M...
This case study extracts the oil spilled tragedy, also a worst ever environmental damage and pollution caused by industrial accident. This stirring industrial accident was happened at 1989, caused by an oil tanker named "Exxon Valdez" owned by Exxon Mobil Corporation, a pioneer in oil production field in the world. In this industrial accident, there were total amount of 11 million of crude oil being spilled in the Prince William Sound, located at Alaska region. Because of this incident, the r...
