Business Ethics
S Question 1 | | 0.5 / 0.5 points |
"Doing more with less" has been an environmental guideline for decades. This version of the first principle is sometimes called:
Question options: | biomimicry. | | cradle-to-grave. | | cradle-to-cradle. | | eco- efficiency. | Hide Feedback | | | Three general principles will guide the move towards sustainability. Firms and industries must become more efficient in using natural resources; they should model their entire production process on biological processes; and they should emphasize the production of services rather than products. Versions of the first principle, sometimes called eco- efficiency, have long been a part of the environmental movement. "Doing more with less" has been an environmental guideline for decades. |
Question 2 | | 0.5 / 0.5 points |
According to model of the economy (or Economic System) as a subset of the biosphere (or Ecosystem), we recognize that neither matter nor energy can truly be "created," it can only be transferred from one form to another. This conservation of matter/energy is consistent with the:
Question options: | first law of thermodynamics. | | second law of thermodynamics. | | third law of thermodynamics. | | fourth law of thermodynamics. | Hide Feedback | | | The model of the economy (or Economic System) as a subset of the biosphere (or Ecosystem) differs from the circular flow model is several ways. From the first law of thermodynamics (the conservation of matter/energy), we recognize that neither matter nor energy can truly be "created," it can only be transferred from one form to another. |
Question 3 | | 0.5 / 0.5 points |
Identify the responsibility which holds that a business should be responsible for incorporating the end results of its products back into the productive cycle.
Question options: | Backcasting | | Cradle-to-cradle | | Take-make-waste | | Cradle-to-grave | Hide Feedback | | |
