company. If a possible event is rated high in both categories‚ it must be planned for. The EPA has enacted new regulations that require cars and trucks to be capable of at least 35 miles per gallon by 2020 and also requires that vehicle emissions standards be reduced by about 15 percent by 2016 (Gardner‚ & Ljunngren‚ 2010). This has a high probability of affecting car manufacturers. The probability of occurrence is not high‚ it is definite. When we couple this situation with the high price

ABSTRACT The United States is dependent on imports of platinum-group metals (PGMs)‚ which includes platinum‚ palladium‚ rhodium‚ ruthenium‚ osmium‚ and iridium. PGMs are used in a wide variety of applications‚ including vehicle catalysts for controlling vehicle pollution‚ chemical catalysts and coatings‚ dental alloys‚ electronic components and computer hard discs‚ fuel cells for power generation‚ glassmaking equipment‚ investment coinage‚ jewelry‚ medicines‚ and petroleum catalysts for gasoline

Kong and make Hong Kong a healthy city for everybody to enjoy their lives. From the data issued in the Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory Report by the Environmental Protection Department‚ every Hong Kong citizen produces 5.5 tons of CO2 in 2005. Though it is less than the 6.5 tons per capita of the Global Warming Potential Weighted Emission‚ we still can do something to contribute to our environment. We have to identify what the major sources of pollution are‚ so that we can further

Analysis An automobile is a single biggest polluter‚ as emissions from millions of vehicles add up. As motor vehicles have been huge sources of pollution for the world since the last hundred years‚ the major car companies and market see profit by introducing some new technologies to reduce emission and delivering best solutions to customers. One of the major reasons for emission is weight of the vehicle. As weight increases carbon emission increases and fuel efficiency decreases. Both equally reduce

(SP/T) ERM PAPER - Material efficiency and climate mitigation Introduction The climate change mitigation today is a wide field‚ which it has to be since mostly all of human activity has some kind of impact to the environment. As of today the climate change is a growing subject and has really been taken into attention the last decade (source) as the climate change

Druckman and Jackson aim to understand carbon dioxide emissions from economic activity and “explore the variation in carbon footprints across different segments of society.” Druckman and Jackson found that affluence was a big factor in determining carbon emission disparities but it was not the only factor. Using a Local Area Resource Analysis (LARA) model‚ they realised that dwelling type and household composition
