You will reply to 2 classmates. Every reply should be 200-300 words and should advance the conversation further by providing new ideas and insights, asking probing questions that get to the heart of critical issues, and share from one’s personal and professional experience. For the purposes of citations, every reply must include:
At least 1 scholarly article;
A relevant business article (any article from a reputable business source—website, magazine, book, etc.—that discusses a relevant business/ethical issue)
Remember to provide new ideas, research, and analysis that create a clear dialogue with your classmate’s ideas.

Introduction
Businesses definitely must be involve in the development of betterment of the environment about what is required by law in order to benefit the organization and its future, develop better relations with the partners in the society, and promote a better life for consumers, employees, and families of the community.
Businesses’ Involvement
Sometimes businesses get involve in environmental activities due to the benefits attached to these types of activities. For example,
“Many businesses have come to the conclusion that “going green” gives them a competitive advantage over other businesses. Not only does it often same them money, but it can also gain new customers since environmental concerns are so popular among consumers” (Fisher, n.d.).
This is a very important factor on why businesses should be very involve in the protection of the environment that allow the organization to prosper thanks to the natural resources that the Lord let us utilize in this world. Many more Christians are involve and educated above the positive and negative consequences of “going green” (Fisher, n.d.).
Businesses’ Practices
The businesses are practicing and witnessing more and more the benefits of programs such as recycling, impact of production on the environment, water waste. Businesses that actually support and develop this type of programs are ripping the benefits at many levels. In a recent study Fernando, Lawrence, Kelly, & Arunachalam (2015) found that “foreign-owned companies are more likely than Sri Lankan-owned companies to adopt environmental practices” (p. 875). This small action from foreign businesses provides credibility that otherwise the company will not possess in a foreign culture.

Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Ocean acidification
Since the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution, Ocean
Acidification has lowered the pH
of the ocean from 8.179 to a
current pH of 8.069, which
means the ocean is about 30%
more acidic now than it was in
1751.
This increase is the result of
humans emitting more carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere and
hence more being absorbed into
the oceans
With ocean acidification, corals
cannot absorb the calcium
carbonate they need to maintain
their skeletons and the stony
skeletons that support corals and
reefs will dissolve and more
corals will be destroyed.
Indian Environment ministry works to remediate projects
initiated with an Environmental Impact Assessment
The Environment ministry in India has developed plan for
considering and clearing projects that have started constructions
or made expansions without obtaining an environment clearance
as a result of Environmental Impact Assessment.
It was learnt through draft notification issued "Environmental
Supplemental Plan" that the Indian Environment ministry deems
to review such projects that have violated the EIA process and
clear such projects by enforcing them to mitigate the damages
done by them.
Experts from Centre for Policy Research and Namati Environment
Justice Program point out that the draft notification lays out a
process, which legally allows for a violator to damage the
environment and subsequently obtain cover to compensate for
the damage.
The practice of EIA internationally has been to help make
environmentally sound decisions on development so that
decisions for economic growth take into account socio-
environmental concerns.

Top Recruitment Mistake
A recent survey conducted by us to gauge professional
dissatisfaction in across several organizations recently
converged to the single most basic mistake on part of an
organization was not creating an accurate job description.
Responses like “doing whatever boss is asking” to “boss
thinks professionals has interest in such a task” leads to
emotions such as aggression, frustration, disillusioned in
both active and passive forms and adds to the confusion of a
professional and his perceived career path.
Historically it has increased employee turnover and an
unrealized replacement expense to the organization.
A simple list of duties, responsibilities, authorities,
accountabilities with an overall purpose and certainly
without adding any misleading opportunities or promises
would be sufficient for any organization.
