Your Carbon Footprint and the Future

A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that each individual produces. Calculating your carbon footprint can give you a new perspective concerning how much you are really contributing to the greenhouse effect.

In this assignment, you will apply what you have learned about taking personal responsibility for your environment and calculate your own carbon footprint.

Using The Nature Conservancy Web site, calculate your carbon footprint. You can calculate this by clicking on the calculator and filling out the estimated values. Access this Web site using the following link:

• The Nature Conservancy. (2011). Carbon footprint calculator: What’s my carbon footprint? Retrieved from http://www.nature.org/greenliving/carboncalculator/index.htm

Respond to the following:

• Describe your final carbon footprint.
• Classify where most of the carbon you generate comes from.
• Considering all you have learned in this course, state if you feel you have a new appreciation for your role in the environment.
• Examine how you impact the environment. Do you think you impact the environment more than you should?
• Describe the part of your life that is contributing the most carbon.
• Propose how you can reduce this number. In your opinion, explain if it is realistic for you to try and reduce this number.

Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Since ratification of the U.S. Constitution many groups of people have struggle to achieve equality under the law. Even after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights many people received little to no rights. In particular, women could not vote, Native Americans had limited protections, and almost all African Americans suffered the yoke of slavery.

Critical Writing Assignment: Faith & Philosophical Enquiry

-For this assignment, please make sure to analyze and discuss one (and only one!) of

the following two classical arguments for the existence of God:

                           1. St. Anselm’s Ontological Argument

                            2. Clarke’s Cosmological Argument

You may argue either for or against the soundness of the argument, but you must take

up and defend a specific position.

Critical Writing Assignment Guidelines & Rubric:

-Some generic requirements to be observed for all Writing Assignments include that all papers must:

 Defend a thesis and should proceed according to the following format: Thesis, Argument,

Objection(s), Response(s), Conclusion

 Include citations to the primary required class readings. These and any additional sources must

be properly cited using MLA format.

 Fall within the following length requirements: 1200-1500 words.

 Use a standard 10-12 pt. font and be double spaced.

Practice setting up linear programming models for business applications 

Select an even-numbered LP problem from the text, excluding 14, 20, 22, 36 (which are part of your homework assignment). Formulate a linear programming model for the problem you select.

Homework: Complete the following problems from Chapter 4:

• Problems 14, 19, 20, 22, 36, 43

Assignment 1: Assignment 1. Linear Programming Case Study

Your instructor will assign a linear programming project for this assignment according to the following specifications.

It will be a problem with at least three (3) constraints and at least two (2) decision variables. The problem will be bounded and feasible. It will also have a single optimum solution (in other words, it won’t have alternate optimal solutions). The problem will also include a component that involves sensitivity analysis and the use of the shadow price.

You will be turning in two (2) deliverables, a short writeup of the project and the spreadsheet showing your work.

Writeup.

Your writeup should introduce your solution to the project by describing the problem. Correctly identify what type of problem this is. For example, you should note if the problem is a maximization or minimization problem, as well as identify the resources that constrain the solution. Identify each variable and explain the criteria involved in setting up the model. This should be encapsulated in one (1) or two (2) succinct paragraphs.

After the introductory paragraph, write out the L.P. model for the problem. Include the objective function and all constraints, including any non-negativity constraints. Then, you should present the optimal solution, based on your work in Excel. Explain what the results mean.

Finally, write a paragraph addressing the part of the problem pertaining to sensitivity analysis and shadow price.

Excel.

As previously noted, please set up your problem in Excel and find the solution using Solver. Clearly label the cells in your spreadsheet. You will turn in the entire spreadsheet, showing the setup of the model, and the results.
