We deal with symptoms (carbon emissions, waste to landfill, ocean dead zones, social inequality, factory farming) while neglecting the underlying cause (attuning our self-other-nature relationship).
By targeting and monitoring its approach to land, energy and chemical use, greenhouse gas emissions, waste water discharge and solid waste, Nike aims to drive down the impact its products have before the product goes into manufacturing.
As businesses face increases in the cost of raw materials along with escalating carbon emissions, waste and pollution, consumers aren't the only ones set to benefit from a consumption model based on access instead of ownership.
There's corporate governance, workers' rights, carbon emissions, waste and much more, and – with government regulations up in the air – it can be exceedingly difficult to predict whether or not a sustainability play will pay off.
Glasgow 2014 has been recognised for efforts to reduce carbon emissions, waste and promote healthy living.
Meanwhile, we evaluated the environmental performance from the perspectives of gaseous emissions, waste water, and noise pollution, and found that these emissions could completely meet the requirements of environmental protection and human health.
Nukes are slow to build, soaring in cost and clearly have their own emissions, waste and safety problems.
The theory is that financial data is increasingly ubiquitous and generic, so the best place to gain an information edge is in non-financial data: carbon emissions, waste reduction, community relations, corporate governance and hundreds of other indicators.
Counting water use, land use, greenhouse gas emissions, waste pollution, land pollution and water pollution, the study found that these losses exceeded the profits of primary production (agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, oil and gas exploration, utilities) and some primary processing (cement, steel, pulp and paper, petrochemicals).
Conclusions from LCA studies can be applied to support decisions regarding product design or public policy, therefore, all relevant inputs (e.g., raw materials, energy) and outputs (e.g., emissions, waste) to the product system should be evaluated to estimate impacts.
