    SCI201 Environmental Science and Sustainability Phase 2 Discussion Board

    The developed pistachio, Pistacia vera L., is an individual from the Anacardiaceae or cashew gang. Pistachio trees are dioecious, implying that there are particular male and female trees. The standard male cultivar is 'Dwindles ', the essential pollinizer for 'Kerman ', the fundamental female cultivar. The pistachio business is reminiscent of sharp cherry in that business generation in the USA is in light of a solitary cultivar, 'Kerman '. The pistachio is local to the Asia Minor territory, from the islands of the Mediterranean in the west to India in the east. It likely grew in interior desert regions, since it obliges long, hot summers for organic product development, is dry season and salt tolerant, and yet has a high winter chilling necessity. The pistachio has been viewed as a delicacy since the start of written history, and has been developed for a considerable length of time all through its local reach.…

    America's Carbon Footprint

    Florida will be the next lost city of Atlantis! That can be imagined when reading statistics from scientists predicting that in fewer than 100 years, most of southern Florida will be under water because of global warming (Wilbur, 2011). Global warming is the rising of the Earth’s temperature because of greenhouse gasses like the burning of fossil fuels coal, oil, and gas. Some people doubt whether global warming exists. Harold Wanless, chairperson of the University of Miami 's Department of Geological Sciences believes it does. Harold was interviewed by Fox News and said that a three-foot rise in sea level will cause problems for Florida. He says that a four-foot rise "Becomes extremely difficult to live in south Florida, and at five-feet probably impossible.” Global warming is not just affecting south Florida; Global warming is affecting the world. Some people argue that human caused global warming is just a myth. If nature has a part in global warming, humans also have a part in it. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the United States gasoline and diesel fuel consumption for transportation in 2011 resulted in the emission of about 1,089 and 430 million metric tons of CO2 respectively for a total of 1,519 million metric tons of CO2. Humans are killing the planet and thus are killing their children’s future. Media, politicians, and ordinary Americans should pay more attention to global warming before it is too late.…

    Rethinking Sustainability

    In the third chapter of Rethinking sustainability: A strategic financial model for Christian schools, Dr. Pue clearly conveys the importance of maintaining Biblical principles in the Christian school ministry. This kind of approach it is fundamental for the glorification ofour God through a fruitful educational ministry; Dr. Pue states: “You cannot violate God’s principles in pursuit of God’s purposes and expect God to bless you” (Kindle Loc.567). This simple matter of fact which is so obviously true, it is disregarded so often and neglected so foolishly that the results cannot be other than sad and frightening.…

    The Benefits and Disadvantages of Sustainability Reporting

    Given that sustainability reporting is not currently required of companies, what do you see as the possible benefits and disadvantages of sustainability reporting? Using the information in the case, the summary data reported in Tables 4 and 5, and Johnson & Johnson’s most recent sustainability report (available at http://www.jnj.com/connect/caring/?flash=true), what aspects of sustainability reporting seem to be a priority for the company, and why? Provide examples from the 2008 sustainability report to support your answers. 1. How are various management systems such as human resource management, costs, capital budgeting, and performance measurement incorporated into Johnson & Johnson’s sustainability reporting process? Support your answer with specific references from the 2008 report (link provided in question 1). Compare your sources with those in the GRI’s reporting framework (http://www.globalreporting.org/ReportingFramework/G3Online/), and the performance measures with Epstein’s metrics presented in Table 3. 2. When compiling data for its sustainability reports, Johnson & Johnson does not request direct input from its managerial accounting staff. What should be the role of management accountants in collecting and reporting sustainability data? Could Johnson & Johnson’s sustainability reporting be improved with input from managerial accountants? Why or why not? (The Crawford 2005 article at http://www.managementmag.com/index.cfm/ci_id/2149/la_id/1 provides additional background material.) 3. Do you agree with the statement that Johnson & Johnson’s approach to sustainability reporting is beyond triple bottom line? Why or why not? 4. Johnson & Johnson cites concerns with determining materiality as one reason it does not declare itself in accordance with GRI guidelines. What is meant by materiality and why is materiality difficult to determine for social responsibility issues?…
