Nauru is a small oval shaped island in the Pacific Ocean. It is ruled by the UK, New Zealand, Australia but gets little say in its own governance. The population is approximately 13,000 people; not including the nearly 1,200 refugees held for resettlement in their detention center. The land area is 21 km2 with a 30 km coastline. Nauru is often cited in studies of climate change because of its relative position to the equator, small island topography, dependence on fishing, and lack of natural resources.
Nauru is 25 miles south of the equator. Being so close to the equator Nauru is in a prime position to measure climate change since there is little fluctuation in day to

During the Mid-1990s, John Elkington strove to measure sustainability by encompassing a new framework to measure performance in the corporate world. This framework was called the "Triple Bottom Line (TBL)".
The Triple Bottom Line is an accounting framework that integrates three elements of performance, which are: social, environmental, and financial. The TBL requires corporations to focus not just on the economic value they add (as per traditional reporting frameworks), but also on the environmental and social value that they may be adding or destroying. The TBL

This analytical report highlights McDonald’s Corporation’s organisational structure, and how it contributes to sustainability through implementation of policies and frameworks, to maintain its position as a sustainable business. McDonald’s is actually not a new player in the sustainable circle, with a history tracing way back to its founders in 1955.
Everyone has a part to play in conservation and preserving the planet, and businesses as a whole are naturally not excluded as well. Especially when they are a profitable business, more attentions would be placed on

of sustainable management in reality, a highly complex way of looking at the problem is required, involving various disciplines. Sustainability is first and foremost a mental question. Without a grasp of the need or the will to change awareness, we will not succeed in realising the principle of sustainability in agriculture.
It is upon the decision-makers in politics to create the right framework and the pre-conditions for a sustainable development in agriculture. Global involvement, on the other hand, must not be left out of account. Sustainability reflects our understanding of necessity and responsibility on the question for whom, for what and how production can be guided into the future

Types of economic systems Australia and China both heavily contrast each other in their economic systems as China has a blend of a planned and capital market as opposed to Australia's open market. Australia's economic system is based on the open market system, an open market withholds minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The main advantage of an open market compared to a socialistic or capitalistic market is this allows the country's economy to become dynamic and flexible. China's economic system contained characteristics of socialism and capitalism. Professor Karl Marx's theory of socialism dictated "it is essential for

Explain sustainability. What is it?
Sustainability is to able to maintain life and resources used in our daily lives for future uses. It also teaches us to preserve non-renewable resources as long as we can because it would run out eventually. Things that we might not have access to in the future includes coal, oil and natural gas. To help keep these resources as long as possible it would be helpful to start using renewable resources such as the wind, geothermal and solar energy as they could naturally be replaced. To be able to maintain our resources it would make a difference if there are less forests being removed, recycling and using sustainable

Many substances used in the home can be released into the environment over time, causing the
deterioration of our earth around us, specifically aquatic animals. This study tested the effects of

ammonia in window cleaner is exposed to E. coli, it will create a larger zone of inhibition

thermodynamics, with time if the W is accumulated with
wastes and it exceeds the assimilative capacity of the sink, it may lose its sustainability and may work as the source of
these wastes to get back in the system for example acid rain occurs because of compounds like Sulphur dioxide and
nitrogen oxides when they are released into the atmosphere. Thus, if the sink can be kept from exceeding its assimilation
capacity, the system will be in equilibrium. Here some economists suggest that the advanced technology and knowledge
can do the trick by substituting natural resources or complimenting it. Where Georgescu-Roegen (1971) and Herman
