The document summarizes environmental issues and sustainability practices within the hospitality and leisure industry. It discusses several key issues:
1. Overpopulation, pollution, resource depletion, waste, and climate change are some of the main environmental causes affecting the industry. Traditional forms of pollution from transportation, landfills, and fossil fuel power generation are discussed.
2. Resource depletion through deforestation, overfishing, and mining is another issue. Climate change impacts the industry through rising sea levels threatening coastal resorts and changes in weather patterns affecting tourism.
3. Some sustainability practices that hospitality organizations can implement include reducing energy and water usage, utilizing renewable energy sources, and promoting environmentally-friendly transportation options to customers.

Water pollution: what could possibly go wrong?Kella Randolph
Point source pollution is easy to identify because it comes from a specific source.
One example of point source pollution is the pollution that comes from a power plant.
Each of these pictures is of a point source polluter.Industries will often dump pollutants that end up in groundwater.
These contaminants then become part of the drinking water supply.
Underground storage facilities and landfills can also contaminate groundwater.
