Answer 1

On the same basis as all accounting systems, environmental accounting presents an objective picture of the present situation and changes in the natural heritage, interactions between the economy and the environment, expenditure on preventive measures, environmental protection and the repair of environmental damage. “Environmental accounting aims at achieving sustainable development, maintaining a favorable relationship with the community, and pursuing effective and efficient environmental conservation activities.”(Caves, 1992, p.34) These accounting procedures allow a company or an organization to identify the cost of environmental conservation generated during the normal process of business, identify the benefit gained from such activities. It covers two different contexts. Environmental accounting can be used to provide insight on the interaction between the environment and a nation, or can be target to the activities of a company or an organization. This paper is mainly focus on the second realm. Environmental accounting is aimed to identify, measure and disclose the activities of a company or an organization based on its environmental conservation cost or economic benefit associated from environmental conservation activities and the company’s financial performance. The financial performance is supposed to be expressed in a monetary value. While environmental conservation benefits and organization’s environmental performance should be stated in physical units.

When the whole world experiences a rapid growth of industry and economic, unfortunately, the natural environment is terribly damaged at the same time. Nowadays, with the increasing awareness of the importance of environment, accounting is no longer just for the economic aspect or financial aspect. For example, the Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines (GRIG) defined their framework for reporting on 3 parts: the economic, environmental and social performance of an organization. (www.env.go.jp/en/ssee/eag02) Similarly, it can be seen in Accountancy and Business journal (Stikich, 1997), in which high lights that there are three aspects of core values of a modern sustainable business, one of them is environmental responsibility. In fact, a number of companies begin to reflect on and revise their corporate environmental responsibilities, not only because of the pressure and activity coming from non-governmental organizations and the growing sense of environmental issues by the general population, but using it as a part of their management strategies to specify measures for dealing with environmental issues and to internally carry out environmental conservation activities.

Moreover, advocated by many organizations like the United Nations, the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union, environmental accounting is widely recognized as an essential tool of a sustainable development, which does not harm the planet’s resources needed for the future generations and the development on the earth.

Check to see if the recycling symbol is on it. If it is, Recycle it! And Thanks! :)

Answer 7

Check the label.  They are probably 1, 2, or 5.

I do not buy much Gatorade though, so I don't know for sure.  I might recommend that you switch to powder packs.  They are far less costly to transport, and you can put them in whatever container you have to use

Here's the link to the official Gatorade web site where the powder is described:

Look for the little triangle on the bottom of the bottle. Most 1's and 2's are recyclable. No caps!
