Can someone help me please...?

Question

I have an essay due soon but I'm not too sure what points I should mention. I hope I can hear some of your perspectives and suggestions of what I can elaborate on in the essay

The given question is:

Environmental improvements can involve cost. Assume you want to convince your employer to conserve fossil fuels as a means of lowering air pollution. (a) Outline your arguments including non-environmental ones. (b) Which changes could be done at no cost? (b) Which changes involve cost?

Answer 1

I am trying to get my employer to stop using so much light!  There are four tubes in each light fixture.  Two tubes is sufficient enough for me.  I think the four are way to bright and it gives me a headache.  This would be no cost.

I also agree about the more casual dress code.  It would also keep dry cleaning bills lower.  Dry cleaners are huge source of pollution.  This would be no cost.

I also got everyone at work to shut off their computers at night and unplug them.  This saves money.

Answer 3

I don't know a better topic than the "World's Cleanest Car" that runs on compressed air.

"BBC News is reporting that a French company has developed a pollution-free car which runs on compressed air. India's Tata Motors has the car under production and it may be on sale in Europe and India by the end of the year.

The air car, also known as the Mini-CAT or City Cat, can be refueled in minutes from an air compressor at specially equipped gas stations and can go 200 km on a 1.5 euro fill-up -- roughly 125 miles for $3. The top speed will be almost 70 mph and the cost of the vehicle as low as $7000.

The car features a fibreglass body and a revolutionary electrical system and is completely computer-controlled. It is powered by the expansion of compressed air, using no combustion at all, and the exhaust is entirely clean and cool enough for use in the internal air conditioning system. "

Answer 4

use solar energy very useful as there is always sun except in the night. may be it involved cost, but once in a life time if the company wants to buy the solar manpower to produce the energy

Answer 5

(b) loosening up on the business casual clother.  If they lighten up on the dress code, it will save them money on air conditioning which keeps those suited up people from sweating.
