Download or read book Greenergized written by Dennis Posadas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable energy versus fossil fuels: the debate rages on, worldwide. At stake is nothing less than the protection of our planet from the ravages of climate change. But the costs involved in making the switch to clean energy are daunting. How do we pay for solar and wind energy? Do we scrap all our gasoline-driven autos? How do we move forward?Although the importance of this topic is hard to overstate, it nevertheless consistently fails to engage at the level that it so patently needs to. This is what has led technology expert and seasoned commentator Dennis Posadas to approach the issues in a new and intriguing way. Posadas understands that we respond best to narratives, and that is why he has written what he describes as a "green thinking fable". In this fable, we meet Daniel, a young graduate of the fictional Oriental College, who is thrust into a debate between José, an oil man, and Professor Ruiz, an advocate of clean energy. We follow the lines of argument as Daniel's awareness increases, and he experiences a paradigm shift in his thinking. We see how his short-term outlook focusing on the cost of renewable energy evolves into long-term thinking about the cost of not making the shift to renewables. Posadas's business fable puts the issues in front of the general reader in an engaging and digestible way. It covers concepts such as solar, wind, electric vehicles, waste to energy, feed-in-tariffs, carbon tax, intermittent sources, cost of fossil fuels, health impact of fossil fuel use, energy efficiency, and other relevant topics necessary for understanding this debate. The story and characters may be fictional, but the situations and the technology discussions are based on current facts. Decide for yourself where you stand on the renewables versus fossil fuels debate, and discuss this story with your friends and colleagues. Greenergized is a much-needed route into the issues surrounding the most serious debate our generation faces. And it pulls off the brilliant trick of being highly readable at the same time.

Book excerpt: The debate on renewables versus fossil fuel energy rages on worldwide. At stake is the protection of the environment from the ravages of climate change. But there are significant costs involved in switching to some sources of cleaner energy. How do we pay for solar and wind energy? Do we throw away our petrol cars? How do we move forward? In this business fable, we meet Daniel, a young graduate of Oriental College who is thrust into the debate between Jose, an big oil man, and Professor Ruiz, a clean energy advocate. We see how Daniel shifts his paradigm from thinking about the expense involved with renewable energy, to seeing how expensive it will be for us if we do not shift to renewables. Dennis Posadas's Greenergized explains the issues that surround the clean energy debate in a fictional manner suitable for students and general readers. The story and characters may be fictional, but the situations and the technological discussions are based on current facts. Decide for yourself how we should play the renewables versus fossil fuel energy card, and discuss this story with your friends and colleagues. This is a must read book for those who are turned off by technical books on the subject, but would like to learn about and understand the complex issues involved in an accessible way.
Download or read book Green Jobs and Green Skills in a Brown Philippine Economy written by Rene E. Ofreneo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Green Jobs and Green Skills in a Brown Philippine Economy is Dr. Rene Ofreneo's contribution to a multicountry global study on the skills and education dimensions of the greening processes in the global economy organized by the International Labour Office and the UN Environmental Programme. As the Philippines is faced with two environmental tasks, i.e., to minimize the adverse impact of climate change (through mitigation and adaptation programs) and to restore its heavily degraded environment, communities and industries are encouraged to create more green jobs through the emerging green sectors (e.g., renewable energy, recycling, reforestation, etc.). This book shows how a green alignment of education and training activities can support the level and skills requirements of green/er industries, as reflected in the case studies of a copper smelter, a fast-food chain, a bioethanol plant, and an organic agriculture farm.

Download or read book Managing Global Business Strategies written by John McManus and published by Chandos Publishing. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at key decision makers and those responsible for global strategy, Managing Global Business Strategies is about changing markets and the complexity of undertaking business in a fast paced technological and knowledge based age in a dynamic and strategic context. Trends show a renaissance in entrepreneurial activity that is fuelling innovation particularly in the so called BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, China and India. For example, both China and India have benefited immensely from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and as a direct consequence both nation states are reshaping the way global business is conducted and the way investment decisions are made. Evidence would suggest that Europe and the United States are more dependent on the BRIC trading nations for earnings and profits. Geographical distance is no longer a barrier between nations; however, the challenges of ethnic diversity in domestic markets are multiplied by the difficulties of delivering goods and services into global markets with different cultures and languages. This book examines the issues associated with undertaking global business in complex and knowledge related markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The A - Z Guide to juicing and natural therapies which contains carefully designed juices by Sandra Cabot MD and Audrey Tea Often in this technological age where computers diagnose diseases and perform surgery, we tend to minimize natural therapies. It seems incredulous that the simple act of drinking raw juices could turn around severe diseases, however I have seen it work in otherwise hopeless cases. In this book you will learn that juices are easily digested and absorbed and are superb for those with a poor appetite, nausea, digestive problems and an inflamed stomach or intestines. It is so much easier to drink a juice than chew your way through large amounts of fibrous raw vegetables, especially if you are feeling fatigued and disinterested in food. Modern day medicine is focused on treating the symptoms of disease with suppressive drugs. Sometimes this is necessary when a disease is very aggressive and acute in onset, however raw juice therapy is something that should always be used, even in conjunction with drug use. I have seen many of my patients recover form chronic disease after they started juicing, and this has been after they have tried many other things. People of all ages can benefit from juicing, especially the very young and old, or those with serious disease such as cancer, immune dysfunction and liver problems.
