Moreover as highlighted by Emma Rigby in her interview with Recognise, the most environmentally damaging stage in a garments lifecycle is once it is being worn, as the repeated acts of washing and drying result in far more resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and air and water pollution than at the other stages of production, manufacture and finally disposal of the garment. More responsible supply chain practices is an aim advocated by the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) which has set up

continued its expansion and almost 100 years later, its products ranged from plastics, consumer electronics, to jet engines and nuclear reactors. In the same time, GE has acquired many various companies such as Stanlet Electric in 1903; Tensor, an oil and gas group, in 2001; Deutsche Financial Services in 2002; Astropower, a manufacturer of solar electric power products in 2004 and many others. Besides, GE has worked in collaboration with many companies, for instance in 2007 GE and Hitachi created 'GE-Hitachi

interests. First, she scrutinizes the impact of the thawing of the Artic permafrost, notably the destabilization of roads, infrastructures such as pipelines, airports, housing, and the release of vast quantities of sequestered methane, a major greenhouse gas (75, 108). Next, she offers a longish detour on the importance of the Suez and Panama Canals as historical chokepoints in global geopolitics. But her real goal is to assert Canada’s rights in the future of the Bering Strait: rather than leaving

Au niveau mondial, les bâtiments consomment 32% des ressources mondiales, 12% de la consommation d'eau, 40% des déchets mis en décharge et 40% d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Hong Kong est considéré comme le plus grand producteur de GGE (greenhouse gas emissions) dans le monde. Les nouvelles constructions de bâtiment plus éco énergétique ne représentent que 2%/an du patrimoine de Hong Kong, une problématique se pose à savoir qu’il faudra plus d’un siècle avant que les nouvelles constructions

reduction greenhouses gases emission. An efficient strategy has to be taken on the energy production market, in order to have sustainable secure and reliable energy. Indeed energy productions like fossil fuels have been pointed out for their high pollution degree (Stern 2006). As a solution, the Government decided to promote the development of renewable energy, in which wind power. In 2007, the actual proportion of renewable energy was small compared to other resources such as coal and gas. Only 4%

lethal gas eerily recalled the Nazi gas chambers which “remain the very symbol of crimes against humanity committed by the Hitler regime whose memory still haunts the German conscience.”45 Over the years, the US states which still retain the death penalty have sought to use less painful, more “benign” methods for bringing about death. Perhaps this evinces a growing discomfort with its application. Lethal injection is now the preferred method, replacing the electric chair, hanging, the gas chamber

the standard species and the standard species plus HNO3 for three power plants analyzed in previous ExternE projects: • Lauffen (DE) coal • Lauffen (DE) gas • West Burton (UK) coal If HNO3 is considered in addition to the particulate nitrate species, the health impacts from nitrates increased by 16% for the Lauffen coal plant, 12% for the Lauffen gas plant and 35% for the West Burton coal plant. The larger effect for the West Burton plant in comparison with the Lauffen plants is mainly due to different
