Vancouver Island Eco Initiatives : Request For Proposal Viei 11-02

As any other places in the world, there are many environmental concerns slowly increasing and becoming more drastic day by day. These arising issues are the consequences of pollution and global warming that are now affecting our own communities. In Newfoundland and Labrador, the most prevalent concern is pollution, specifically water pollution. Due to poor sewer and waste management systems, conditions became incredibly bad to the point where water had to be boiled to be pure enough for drinking. Thankfully, now that there are new laws and regulations, the condition has gotten better, but continues to remain a threat to the environment. Another concern being faced is the collapse of the east coast fishery, specifically the cod fishery. Due

River Island also recycles and uses biodegradable materials whenever possible. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE) are aimed at maximising recovery and recycling of old materials and preventing the negative aspects of landfill disposal. As a retailer, River Island fully supports this regulation and has met their objective by joining the Distributor Take Back Scheme to which they have contributed funding for the provision of improved recycling facilities throughout the UK for all their customers. By supporting the environment, it shows that River Island is a caring and committed company who want to be known as eco-friendly. It benefits them because if customers and suppliers know they are taking action to support this good cause, it will only increase the company’s good reputation and, therefore, being known as a company to do business

A very important issue tied to Canada’s future sustainability is that of recycling. There is currently a shortage of suitable landfill spaces in Canada, and the current landfills produce harmful emissions (Statistics Canada, 2008). Using methods to divert as many of these wastes away from landfills will help to slow their growth and improve Canada’s future outlook. Recycling is one such method.

4. Review –The proposed plan is then reviewed and if they find it inappropriate, it is then sent to propose again

By abandoning the tax credit for textbooks and poor education, this project could be put forward using the funds. This investment will be funded by cancelling the poorly targeted education and textbook tax credits. By also maintaining the tax credit for tuition, making flexible student loans and repayment requirements, students of all income background could get an education. For repayment requirements, the government will pay for student loans until the minimum income of $25,000 is earned.

The board of Growing Places wanted to set up a scholarship program for children from families which demonstrated financial needs. The company was finding corporate sponsor to help pay for the scholarships and extend the program to the other centers. Thrivand, one of the possible sponsoring

To solve problems with manure storage farmers face, the BC Environmental Plan Program suggests to “have facilities designed by a professional engineer whether of earthen, concrete or metal construction, size to enable the wastes to be stored until it can be spread as a fertilizer, cover solid or semi-solid manure storages in high rainfall climates, incorporate leak detection with semi-solid and liquid storages, incorporate secondary containment with liquid storages, protect from 100-year flood events, establish and maintain an adequate buffer between manure storage and watercourses to prevent wastes or leachate from polluting.”. The removal and use manure also poses as a problem to the environment according to the BC Environmental Plan Program , “The best current option for manure disposal is in application to crops as a fertilizer to provide nutrients or to improve soil conditions” but it can also be sold to the public or other farms. Odour control can easily be stopped by vegetative barriers between the farm and it’s neighbours. Farmers have to be considerate of their neighbours and attempt to lower the odour. Again, the BC Environmental Plan Program has suggestions for solving odour problems with livestock and manure,

The student and staff population of the University of Regina is soon going to surpass a population of 15,000 students. The growing population of the U of R requires administrative and student action to maintaining environmental sustainability. It is crucial to its maintenance to implement environment sustainability. Environment sustainability can be defined as taking responsible actions towards maintaining the environment and eliminating any type of negative impacts that we produce to negate any environmental damages.

TThe proposal I have selected is the ‘Vancouver Island Eco Initiatives – Request Proposals VIEI – 11- 02’, this proposal talks about creating a support system for the students at Camosun College. It is economically friendly in the way that the ‘re-use, recycle’ method would be put into place at both campuses. The proposal itself says that it will create financial support for students at both campuses, but has very poor English and vocabulary, and the main point is not made clear. Of what I could understand the individual who wrote this paper wants to set up a student funded flea market of sorts, where students could buy tables from Costco that cost $20 and sell their textbooks, non-perishable food items, etc at reasonable prices to other students. I recommend for this proposal that whoever wrote it, go back and go through spell check, as words like ‘money’ were spelled incorrectly all the way through, and that a lot of their vocabulary is very basic and hard to follow or understand. ‘The Plan’ section seems more like a budget than anything else, it doesn’t tell you how the student society will be brought into the mix as it mentioned in the Introduction, or how they will garner the attention of students to volunteer and spend the $20.00 on the table, or how the 8 000.00 a year will be distributed among everyone involved. I recommend that the writer re-visit ‘The Plan’ section and actually add in a more detailed plan, including how they plan on getting students involved,

As the cost of education increases, many students search for assistance to help cover that cost. That form of assistance could come from burdensome financial aid or a scholarship that provides the student with an education free from debt. That’s why I am writing you today Mr. Alan Hall on behalf of the Student Scholarship Committee, bellow we have outlined the (1) the benefits to the student, (2) the benefits to you, and (3) how you can take action to help.

The author concludes that students should do it by themselves with any charges either on the government sites or in their education organization which is school, college or university. Brokers are not the representatives of Government and they can do anything taking the repayment plan from government or bank. Students and their family which is the critical participant of the society doesn’t get benefit from this type of business suggests critical ethical dilemmas occurring in this

The company has always operated as a small family business and Joanna is not a family member. She is keen to see the business develop and has therefore arranged a bank facility for an additional $100 000 capital to be used by the business. Joanna wants to utilise their skills to produce the next generation of designs for plastic containers. One of her goals is to refocus the company’s strategies to deal with waste and inefficiencies in the current business operations. She is keen to develop an eco-footprint which measures a product’s impact on the environment, and plans to introduce processes to reduce this impact. She would like to launch the new products, together with the company’s sustainability focus, at the National Plastics Manufacturing Show which is to be held in November 2016. Joanna wants to conduct market research to firstly establish whether there will be an advantage in increasing their product range; secondly to establish what their competitors are selling and plan to do in the short to medium term; and thirdly to identify consumer views on her environmentally friendly initiative. In the proposal it will illustrate the objectives and aims, which will involve research and scope along with the purpose and catalyst, also have primary & secondary research under the methodology.

Try Recycling and Aggregates (Try) operates out of London, ON and receives waste unsuitable for landfill sites from the City of London and local businesses. Try’s research program recycles 90% of all material received, turning it into useful and innovative products. The majority of Try’s revenue is generated from tipping fees and 5% of revenue is earned through the sale of recycled products to end consumers. Approximately 65% of recycled products are sold locally. Try’s founder, Jim Graham, has a strong sense of social responsibility and is interested in selling Try’s recycled products through a fundraising event, “The Grow Green Program,” to raise awareness about Try in the local community and assist participating

In order to gain control over the allocation of resources throughout the university and also to balance the monies being distributed amongst the revenue centres a system of participation/subvention was used by the university administrators. These participations were mere equal contributions (20% of the total tuition fees, sales and service income, and indirect cost recoveries) from all revenue centres and were redistributed back to them as block grants called subventions and these participations were portrayed as negative and subventions as positive indirect income. These features in fact enabled university administrators to focus on university priorities and goals. In allocating subventions their main focus was firstly on differentials in the costs of educating students in different fields and secondly, the revenue centres’ cost/quality ratios.

In 2009, FairPrice opened the first “Eco Store” which utilizes 100% bio-degradable shopping bags, has dedicated check outs for customers using their own bags, has store fixtures and fittings re-cycled from other stores, and has recycling stations for food waste (“Sustainable environment,” 2011) By doing so, the company took the initiative to bring out the change that everyone merely speaks about. Being the industry leader, its actions can lead to increased awareness as well as adoption of similar practices by its competitors, suppliers as well as customers.
