1. OBJECTIVE
To create a prototype of ‘AUTOMATIC TRASH COMPACTOR’
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Any where a lot of trash is generated, the automatic trash compactor offers a compelling solutions that is more environmentally preferable and operationally efficient!
This uses the sun energy to automatically compact trash at the point of disposal, dramatically increasing capacity 5 times within the same footprint as ordinary receptacles.
Increased capacity reduces collection trips and can cut related fuel use and emissions by 80%. Enclosed design keeps pests out and litter in.
Can be installed successfully in urban street, parks, colleges, sports venues and in all weather conditions.
Offers Dramatically Lower Lifetime Operational Costs
Depending on collection frequency, your standard ornamental bin is costing you between $7,300 and $30,000 over it’s lifetime! compactor lifetime operational costs are significantly lower, between $6,000 and $12,000. it uses solar power to compact trash at the point of disposal, increasing capacity by five times and reducing operational costs by up to 80%. In addition to lower costs associated with trucks, fuel and labor, it reduces green house gas and other harmful emissions.
3. LITERATURE
Humans have always had an impact on their surroundings. Garbage is one of our biggest effects on nature. Unlike other animals, humans create too much waste for nature to keep up. Total amount of solid waste in India is 65-70 million tons per year. Almost 42 percent of that garbage is in paper wastes. With the continually rising of the earth’s population, the situation is going to get harder and harder to slow it down, or fix it. With garbage comes pollution; from the burning of garbage we are destroying the atmosphere just as fast as we are just leaving the garbage on the ground. When you burn garbage it gives off extremely poisonous gases into the atmosphere. If a person breathes this air it can hurt their lungs and if untreated can result in cancers or even death. Even if we burry our garbage not all of it will decompose, as there are some material needs centuries to decompose. By polluting the ground it can seep into our farming soil and even into our ground water, which can cause dramatic consequences.
Compacting trashes is considered a great solution for the problem of throwing garbage as it was examined in well developed countries and solved the problem of thrown garbage in the streets or burning extra garbage which is the same problem that India is facing, and in result it also reduce the pollution amount due to the smoke of burning garbage and the diseases caused because of the uncovered garbage in streets where people walk through and others live nearby

Memorandum To Daniel D. McLean, Chief Operating Officer .docxandreecapon
Memorandum
To: Daniel D. McLean, Chief Operating Officer
From: Ryan-Kirk Bautista, Chief Engineer
Date: March 4, 2014
RE: Sustainability Initiative Recommendations
I am respectfully submitting this memorandum to the members of the Board of Directors for
purposes of recommending concerns regarding the subject. The report addresses the following:
(a) range of sustainability options for our hotel; (b) our industry leaders and their efforts; and (c)
recommendations pertaining to feasible approaches.
RANGE OF SUSTAINABILITY OPTIONS
Comprehensive Recycling
The first step to achieving a higher long-term value of our property is to recycle. Statistically,
recycling is noticed by customers more than any other green initiative. This would reduce our
waste hauling expenses, increases employee and customer loyalty, as well as obtain a higher
level of competitive advantage.1 This can be done through a new recycling initiative across all
three boards of the property: administrative, public, and service areas. By including separated
bins in guest rooms, offices, public areas, and meeting rooms, all three areas of our building that
require a significant improvement at a long-term low-cost are covered. A few of the many
products include: paper materials used for on-property marketing, plastic bathroom amenities,
and used light bulbs. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has launched a
Recycling Recognition Program that has been developed to record and recognize recycling
efforts across the state. This avenue would be wise to explore considering the public relations
and social responsibility if we would like to explore that avenue.
Reducing Energy Use
The entire property can benefit from a more energy-efficient approach with lighting and
occupancy sensors. Options in respect to lighting include changing to ENERGY STAR efficient
light bulbs which are found to use 75% less energy and heat than our current incandescent light
bulbs and lasts about ten times longer.2 Alternatively, by switching to new LED lighting from
GE, the Las Vegas Sands Corp. has saved nearly 4.1 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year.3
We may implement this throughout the entire property in all facilities to greater reduce our
energy use and overall costs. We may take a cost-effective approach and replace and recycle our
old light bulbs progressively throughout the entire property. As more codes are becoming more
stringent, the implementation of occupancy sensors would be another great way to reduce the
amount of energy we use in unoccupied rooms. Rooms are often unoccupied by guests or
associates and lights are left turned on leaving the responsibility to others. Being open 24 hours,
installing these in conference, office, and storage rooms would be a step towards adding another
LEED certified change to our facility.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
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.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
2. Instruction to:
Hospitalities approach to sustainability development,
and measures which business within the Hospitality Industry can
take to be more sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
“Saving the world requires saving democracy. That requires
well-informed citizens. Conservation, environment, poverty,
community, education, family, health, economy- these
combine to make one quest: liberty and justice for all. Whether
one's special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the
cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same
place being human comes from: compassion.”
― Carl Safina, The View from Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an
Unnatural World

3. The Impact Customers make.
“One hotel guest can generate about 1kg (2lb) of waste per
night, more than half of it in paper, plastic and cardboard. In
addition to negative environmental impact, as landfill capacity
diminishes, so the cost of waste disposal becomes more
expensive. In the UK, for example, landfilling costs are now £48
per tonne (1.1 tons) compared to £18 a tonne in 2005” “Up to
60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin can be
recycled”.
Customers have a huge impact on the amount of waste which
is produced but if hospitality provider i.e hotels help reduce the
amount of waste it is possible for them to produce, it benefits
the hotel as less work, and the environment.

4. Environment: – The term environment can be used an defined in different ways depending on the use and terms of
the word, according to the Oxford dictionary: “The surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives
or operates, survival in an often hostile environment”
Environment: The term Environment in expression of human aspect can be defined as; the surroundings or conditions
in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates”
Sustainability: The term Sustainability can be defined in reflectance to environmental area’s as; “For renewable
resources, the rate of harvest should not exceed the rate of regeneration (sustainable yield) [For pollution] The rates of
waste generation from projects should not exceed the assimilative capacity of the environment (sustainable waste
disposal); and For non-renewable resources the depletion of the non-renewable resources should require comparable
development of renewable substitutes for that resource”.
Carbon Footprint: The term Carbon foot means; “The amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a
result of the activities of a particular individual, organization, or community”
Waste: The term Waste means: Use or expend carelessly, extravagantly, or to no purpose. In terms of environmental
waste: Hazardous waste is defined as liquid, solid, contained gas, or sludge wastes that contain properties that are
dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. Learn how to properly manage and dispose of
hazardous waste.
Fossil fuels: The term Fossil fuels means: A natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the
remains of living organisms.
Sector: The term sector means: A distinct part or branch of a nation’s economy or society or of a sphere of activity
such as education:

5. Sustainability for first specific business
Whitbread our a company which try to be as economically
friendly as possible. They run a project called Good Together
which in is based over their brand this includes;
- Costa Coffee - Premier Inn - Beefeater
- Table Table -Hub -Taybarns
-Brewers fayre.
They base have 3 principles Environmental, Customer
Wellbeing ( Quality of service whilst being eco friendly)
And a team aspect.
5
6. Whitbread Vision and understanding
Whitbread’s vision
“Our sustainability vision at Whitbread is simple. We want to lead the
hospitality industry to a more sustainable future. Good Together back
in 2009 made significant progress, and demonstrated that a major
hospitality business with an aggressive expansion programme can
deliver valuable energy, water and waste savings.
Whitbread have received a Triple Standard award from the Carbon
Trust for achieving their challenging standard on reducing carbon,
water and waste.
Our 30,000 team members have a significant role to play in helping us
reduce our impacts and achieve our targets and we have
developed training and communication programmes to help our
team members understand what they can do and why it is so
important.
Our Good Together Energy and Environment programme is split into 3
key areas – Carbon Management, Waste Management and Water
Management”
6
7. What Whitbread do to train team?
Whitbread on induction for new team, run online training
modules from economical to health and safety.
2013 Whitbread we launched an on-line module to assist our
team members to understand our new multi-stream waste
recycling system and the benefits of recycling over landfill.
They have learning module for general energy, carbon and
environmental awareness.
The teams also receive a Weekly Energy Report for their site
which lets them know their weekly utility consumption so they
can monitor, measure and control in real time their energy
usage and carbon emissions.
7
8. How we inform guest and improve
sustainability ?
In Premier Inn they run a Green, Greener, campaign to
encourage the guests to enjoy a “greener” stay by reducing
their impacts in hotels.
This included environmental tips in their key card folder, posters
throughout the site and further information on the payment
receipt such as not printing receipt but emailing them.
8
9. Method of reducing waste which Whitbread use.
Install recycling bins in guest rooms
Put two bins in guestrooms, one for general waste and one for
recycling. The recycling one should be larger and specify which
products can be placed in it. Housekeeping trolleys must be fitted
with separate bins for collecting recyclable material.
Install Soap dispensers
For toiletries, switch to dispensers and purchase bulk containers.
The Scandic hotel chain found that only 15% of its soaps,
shampoos and conditioners were used, with the balance thrown
away. By replacing traditional amenities with bulk items, Scandic
has reduced its waste volume by 40% and packaging waste by
11 tonnes annually. 9
10. Method of reducing waste Premier inn.
Installed Water effective/ saving shower head
Water saving shower heads mix water with air to reduce the amount of water
emitted reducing the amount of water. The Shower heads controls the flow
and spray pattern of water. They come in a range of shapes and sizes, and the
design can directly affect water consumption.
Use less towels
Instead of putting 4 towels in a room for one person put one or two, as I you
put more they don’t really need 4 but as they are in the room they will need to
be washed.
Reduce electrical use by;
Install Sensors: key card holder, presence detector, thermostat, open/ close
windows
Install Actuators: lighting control, air conditioning control
Install A single, easy-to-use interface, from simple push buttons to user-friendly
touch screens
Automated functions provide additional energy savings and smoother
operation, without any inconvenience for the guests
Benefits for End Users:10% energy savings off each guestroom’s electric bill
By lowering room temperature by just one degree, you can shave 3% off of
your HVAC system’s energy consumption
Achieve additional savings through smart lighting and blind management 10
11. Whitbread with hotels use these.
Premier inn use these shower head to be more water efficient
mixing water and air to create a better show experience for
guests whilst ensuring that it lowers costs and water use.

15. Framework which McDonalds use to be
more sustainable
“We have worked to develop and finalize our Global CSR &
Sustainability Framework with five clear priority areas, or “pillars,”
to structure our efforts. In 2013 we developed measurable,
specific goals for some of these efforts to align our company
around common goals for advancing what we call “Our
Journey Together. For Good.”
Please watch these two video which explains more about the
framework and how McDonalds our more use there
programme “Goof Food”
15
16. McDonalds Vision / Goals / aspirations
The aspirational goals included in our framework provide a destination we
desire to achieve by 2020. Each of our five pillars is at different stages of
progress, governance and resource allocation.
Our Framework currently includes goals for Food, Sourcing and Planet, while
People and Community represent core foundational values. In addition, our
business operates under various constraints that impact our journey to
achieve these goals. As a brand we realize that it will be difficult to measure
progress in all the countries where we operate, but will strive to motivate the
entire System by providing tools and resources to drive engagement and
performance across our System. Progress toward the aspirational goals will
be aggregated and reported in our annual sustainability report, but market-
by-market progress may vary. Plans to achieve the global goals will be
created based on market-by-market considerations. We cannot guarantee
that we will achieve these stated goals given the above factors. The
Company is committed to putting forth good-faith efforts to make progress
towards these goals, to report on an annual basis tangible progress and
measurements, where possible, and to explain both successes and
challenges along this journey.
16
17. McDonalds Food aspirations
“Looking forward to 2020 - Our Aspirational Goals for Good
Food across our menu: 1. Serve 100% more fruit, vegetables,
low-fat dairy or whole grains. We are developing guidelines to
measure our progress against this goal. 2. Reduce salt/sodium,
