Teonna

There are several environmental laws, regulations, and policies that currently influence your life, and they include the following:

  • The Clean Air Act

Choose one of these environmental regulations, or another policy that interests you; then, research your chosen regulation or policy’s requirements and environmental and economic impacts. Remember that the Strayer Library is a good place to start. http://research.strayer.edu
Write a 3–5-page paper in which you do the following:

  1. Describe three key elements of the regulation or policy you chose. Specifically, discuss who is affected and what actions they are required to undertake, including federal and state agencies and specific industries, and how these requirements are enforced.
  2. Assess three effects this regulation or policy had on our environment. Next, quantify its effects, if possible, to analyze whether or not the regulation had the desired effect on the environment.
  3. Discuss three economic effects of your chosen policy or regulation. Next, describe the direct costs of implementation, as well as the effect the regulation has had on economic growth. If possible, find a benefits/cost analysis that will provide you with objective analyses of this regulation’s economic impact.
  4. Speculate whether or not you believe that this policy or regulation has been successful overall. Next, debate whether or not your chosen policy or regulation has promoted environmental benefits or outweighed its economic costs. Lastly, determine whether you would recommend renewing this policy or regulation when it comes to its expiration date, or whether you should let the policy or regulation expire. Justify your response.
  5. Use at least 7 (7) quality resources/references in this assignment, in addition to the course text. Note: Wikipedia and personal blogs do not qualify as quality resources.
  6. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
    • This course requires the use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

OHSA Compliance

You receive a follow-up call from the area director saying the employee filing the original non-formal complaint has provided additional information about the alleged health situation and submitted a formal complaint using the OSHA-7 form, making the complaint a formal complaint. A few days later, an OSHA compliance officer shows up at your facility to perform a comprehensive inspection. The compliance officer presents the proper credentials, and you verify that the compliance officer is employed by OSHA and assigned to the local office.

During the opening conference, the compliance officer provides you with the formal complaint, alleging that employees are exposed to hazardous concentrations of metal fumes in welding areas of the plant, that you have not performed any air sampling to determine exposure levels, that adequate ventilation is not present in welding areas, and that adequate respiratory protection has not been provided to welders. As a part of the inspection, the compliance officer requests the following documents:

  • chemical inventory list;
  • OSHA 300 logs;
  • Hazard Communication Program, including training records;
  • any sampling data that you have;
  • Respiratory Protection Program, including medical clearance letters and training records;
  • written hazard assessment for personal protective equipment (PPE) used at the facility;
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for the metals you use in the production process and any welding rods/wire used in the welding area; and
  • any other written programs you have that are required by an OSHA regulation.

The compliance officer takes a walk-through tour of the facility, spending extra time in the welding areas. During the walk-through, the compliance officer points out several issues believed to be apparent violations. The issues are as follows:

  • Heavy haze is present in the welding area.
  • Individuals wearing half-mask air-purifying respirators have full beards.
  • Employees are using chemicals that could be injurious to the eyes, and no emergency eyewash is present.
  • Eyewash is present in another area of the plant that is covered in dust, and there is no indication of recent operation or inspection.
  • Employees are using chemicals that could be absorbed through the skin and are not using any gloves.
  • Employees are performing maintenance inside a press with no lock-out/tag-out applied.
  • No written lock-out/tag-out program is available at the time of the inspection.
  • Welding operation is performed near flammable materials, and no fire watch is present.
  • There is no record of training for fork truck drivers.
  • Extension cords are stretched across walkways.
  • Three containers are present in the plant with no label present on any of the containers.
  • An employee could not find a SDS for the chemical he or she was using.

The compliance officer asks for a private conference room and a list of non-managerial employees. He tells you that he intends to interview four non-managerial employees before leaving for the day. He also states that he will return the next day to collect some air samples at the facility.

You are worried about the number of citations and penalties that you may face. Provide a document summarizing the steps you would take as soon as the compliance officer leaves and the steps you believe you could have taken during the walk-through that may have resulted in a quick-fix penalty reduction.

Your document must be at least three pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages. You must also include at least one reference using appropriate APA style.

Assignment 1: Analysis On The Effects Of Population Growth (India)

Assignment 1: Analysis on the Effects of Population Growth

Due Week 4 and worth 110 points

Imagine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis on how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects a developing country of your choosing:

A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal oil and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things like electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels.

The UN has asked that you choose a developing country from this list: https://www.mrs.org/developing-countries-list.

The UN has also given you the following guidelines.

Content

The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. It has asked that each section be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. It also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions.

Introduction

Provide an introduction of half a page minimum that addresses points a-e below.

  1. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words;
  2. Identifies the three sections your paper will cover;
  3. Identifies the developing country you will consider;
  4. Tells the UN which causes of greenhouse gases you will explore; and
  5. Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph.

Section I. Background

  1. What are greenhouse gases?
  2. How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming?

Section II. How Emissions Causes Problems for the Developing World

  1. Which countries produce the most greenhouse gases?
  2. What are the economic challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)?
  3. What are the security challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)?
  4. What are the political challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)?

Section III. Causes and Solutions of Greenhouse Gases

  1. What are two causes of greenhouse gases?
  2. What are potential solutions to address each of the causes you identified?
  3. What is the relationship between population control and greenhouse gases?

Conclusion

  • Provide a conclusion of half a page minimum that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions.

Success Tips

  • In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points.
  • The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on information you find through research.

Formatting Requirements

Discussion And Student Replies

Unit 8 discussion

Describe a city in the state of Georgia that has DECLINED in population. Make sure you name the city, describe it location in the state, and explain why its population has declined. Cite your (3) references in MLA or APA format.

Now examine Atlanta whose population continues to grow and presents problems environmentally based upon its growth. Present a solution for the traffic congestion in Atlanta.

Critique the solution presented by at least TWO of your peers with whom you disagree and explain why to disagree with them in their post.

Compare and contrast the 2 cities (the one in which population is declining to Atlanta). Specifically address how areas in the same state (and probably not that far from one another) can be so dramatically different, as well as what primarily contributes to these differences.

1. After doing some research, I found out that Albany, Ga has seen over a 6% change in population since 2010. Albany is a town in southwest Georgia that is located on the Flint River. Over the past decade, Albany has been subject to many natural disasters that have displaced residents.

I believe that one way to decrease the traffic congestion in Atlanta is to create a public subway or transportation system that is more appealing and convenient than the bus. By adding additional means of low-cost transportation, residents are more likely to not take their personal vehicle everywhere they go.

Sotra, Maria. “7 Smart City Solutions to Reduce Traffic Congestion.” Geotab Blog, 14 June 2019, www.geotab.com/blog/reduce-traffic-congestion/.

2. I chose the city of Reidsville, GA. According to the website, localistica, Reidsville’s population has decreased by 3,005 since the 2010 Census and growth is -222.90%. (localistica, n.d.) Reidsville is located in Tattnall county which is approximately 67 miles Northwest of Savannah in Southeast Georgia. Reidsville is home to Georgia State prison. It is a very beautiful town. The only reason I believe the decline has happened is that there is not much industry and people moving to bigger cities to have access to more things.

When we think of Atlanta, they are thinking of metro Atlanta, which is made up of 28 Counties,  has a population of over 5 million people. (Jurney, 2014) When in reality the city of Atlanta has only 939,286, a 4% growth. People call any city near Atlanta when in reality, they’re a lot of cities surrounding Atlanta.

What should happen, is that MARTA should expand to more areas. As of right now, there only two of the twenty-eight counties that have MARTA tracks. The problem with getting more is that you have to work with so many different county and city governments. This a daunting task. The state needs to step in and help decide what to do. Maybe impose some kind of tax that will help fund increasing MARTA’s outreach.

One paragraph for discussion and 4 sentence for peer response

——————————————————————————————————–

Student responses

3 sentences each

1.1. Were you surprised at the current size of the human population or at its changes since your year of birth?

The year I was born, the population of the world was 5,905,050,000. From 1996, the population has increased to 7,713,470,000 which means it has multiplied by 1.31. The increase in population since I was born surprised me the most. I am only 22 years old and the population has increased by 1.31 and is continuing to increase as we speak.

2. How many people do you believe the Earth can support without dire environmental damage?

Some experts believe the Earth can support from 9 to 10 billion people, but even these experts cannot come up with a definite number because there are so many variables that come into play. So since I am not even close to being an environmental expert or scientist of any sort, I can only take the word of those experts and wait and see what happens.

3. Should developed countries help slow the population growth of developing countries? If so, what sorts of methods should be employed to do this?

No, because we are not God and we should not control the development of human life. God, being the ultimate creator, will determine how much life this planet can sustain, no matter what kind of plans “experts” make. However, it does not give us the right to be wasteful in our resources.  We need to use the expertise of developed countries to come up with ways to teach developing countries on how to sustain agriculture, and water sources and not to exploit the resources they have. We should take care of the planet just as God directed Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis (Genesis 1:26).

2.In Valdosta and the surrounding area, recycling is done through curbside pick up. The garbage companies provide a 19 quart recycling bin with a list of items that they will accept. It is up to each household to decide whether they want to recycle or not. The city of Valdosta average 45-50 tons of recycled material per week. The vast majority being plastic, paper, and glass products. Each ton recycled is one less ton placed in the landfill. This in turn extends the life of the county landfill. Of all the properties in Valdosta, only 30% recycle. I would definitely like to see that number double or even triple. The vast majority of peer products recycled could be turned into more paper thus reducing the numbers of trees being harvested. I believe that the recycling in my area is worth it. It is keeping tons of garbage out of the landfill, and its so easy with roadside pickup.

3.I live in Suwanee, Georgia and mostly everything is recyclable except any type of hazardous waste, yard waste, wooden or cloth furniture, appliances containing Freon, and construction waste. In my town, we have curbside recycling (which I think is really convenient and easy) so, we have two different colored trash cans, one for trash and the other for recycle. The recycling truck comes through my neighborhood two to three times a week because not everyone recycles and people tend to have more trash than recyclables. My family has been recycling since I was a child and still religiously recycles up to this day. We have two different trashcans inside our house in the kitchen, one for trash and one for recycling. One material I would choose are plastic bags that we carry home our groceries in. Mostly every single grocery and retail store uses plastic bags but when recycled, they can be reused and turned into plastic lumber, which then is used to make park benches, backyard fences, and even some playground equipment! Plastic bags can also be recycled into new plastic bags as well. There are a bunch of neighborhoods in Suwanee, which usually means a lot of families and a lot of grocery and retail shopping and plastic bags. Recycling plastic bags in my area would be really beneficial for the community and could turn into more benches and fences built from the plastic bags.
