清洁生产一二三

清洁生产是人类二十一世纪的选择．它是对工业化近二百年来人类生产方式的扬弃。 进入新世纪．人类的自然哲学观实现了一个大飞跃，终于摆正了人与自然的关系：人类不是自然的主宰。自然不是人类的奴婢：人类是自然的产物．人类不能在自然面前为所欲为．人类必须与自然和谐相处：人类赖以生存的自然资源和环境承载能力都是有限的．工业化的生产方式是不可持续的。[第一段]     

法国的环境政策与措施

1 总体认识与政策本世纪70年代以来,法国发生了巨大的变化:在资产增长10%的同时,国民生产总值增长了55%,工业生产增长了45%,采掘业增长了60%,等等;但同时,能源消耗增加了40%、化肥消耗增加了80%、电力消耗增加了两倍多,农村劳动人口却下降了45%、可耕地面积和钢铁生产减少10%,等等.以上事实表明:发展与环境之间的矛盾并不局限于发展中国家,工业化国家并没有停止发展,发展同样给环境增加了沉重的负担.法国很早就开始认识到这些问题.1971年,法国设立了环境部,它是世界上最早建立的这类部级机构之一.这一举动表明,法国政府已充分认识到使法国人民具有环境保护意识的重要性,并预示着法国将致力于法国及国际领域间的环境保护活动.近20年来,随着人们对环境问题发展态势认识的不断加深,环境问题得到了越来越多的关注与重视.法国扩大了环境部的职权范围,将由其他权力部门管理的一些资源划归这部管理,并不断增加经济投入,1988年以来该部实

地球的女儿（下）——廖晓义独白

为什么在人类反思自 身行为的时候都是些杰出的女性？不仅环保人士大多数都是女性，就是政府环保官员女性也是很多。比如说日本，日本是一个男性至上的国家，而他们的前环保局局长就是一位女性。美国的环保局局长也是一位女性，美国环保局是一个有两万人的组织，作为局长不仅要管理官员而且还要与国会打交道，她是一个非常出色女性。挪威的环境部长也是一位女性，一位坐在轮椅上的女性，还有前德的环境部长也是一位女性，女性不管在政府还是非政府里，都份演着一个非常重要的角色。为什么是女性在环保领域里有这么多的贡献呢？男性象征着阳…     

从“增长”到“发展”的重要转变

增长是以产出量的增加作为衡量尺度，主要指国民生产总值的提高。而发展较之增长则具有更广泛的含义，既包括产出的扩大，也包括分配结构的改善、社会文明的进步、人与自然的和谐相处、生活水平和质量的提高以及自由选择范围的扩大和公平机会的增加，当然还包括生态保护和环境的改善。

论可持续发展与生态保护

1992年里约热内卢的联合国环发大会上 ,各国首脑在对社会、经济、环境认识一致的前提下 ,达成可持续发展的共识 ,通过并签署了包括《里约宣言》在内的五个重要文件。布兰特伦夫人将可持续发展定义为 :“既满足当代人的要求 ,又不危及子孙后代的满足其需要能力的发展”。我国在 1994年正式将可持续发展作为社会、经济、环境发展的基本战略。1　凸现的生态问题严重制约着社会、经济的发展纵观人类文明的发展史 ,可看到人类文明的进步无不建立在对自然资源掠夺的基础之上。特别是进入 2 0世纪以来 ,人类文明的飞速进步 ,对自然资源的掠夺进一步…

Improving environmental awareness training in business

The need for and the benefits of a more sustainable approach to business management have been widely discussed in the literature. Many organizations have engaged in environmental management initiatives to improve their environmental performance and have found other benefits to the process, such as financial savings and reduced risk of liability. However, many constraints can inhibit the transformation to an environmentally conscious and responsible organization. These constraints include issues related to organizational culture and change management. To overcome these constraints and succeed in implementing a successful environmental management initiative, the literature suggests the importance for members of the organization of understanding the environmental impacts and policies of the organization through participation in environmental awareness training efforts that produces enduring knowledge and commitment. Armed with this knowledge, employees can then understand how the environment can affect and be affected by their duties and decisions. Various companies have used different approaches to environmental management training. It is important that organizations evaluate the efficiency of their training investment to ensure that the benefits will be generated. A case study of two electricity companies is used to illustrate the importance of evaluating environmental awareness efforts. The results of the study suggest that the training performed did not sufficiently increase employee environmental awareness of the company's environmental impacts despite a considerable time and financial investment in a one-time environmental awareness training program. Results are briefly discussed and recommendations are made to improve the results of the training investment.

The role of business in sustainable consumption

This paper explores the role of the business community in promoting sustainable consumption. While businesses play an important role in shaping social trends, including the growth of material consumption, allegations that individual corporations wield excessive power may have been overstated. Most of the time corporations are simply playing by the rules and culture of the market.Businesses have mostly assumed that their contribution to sustainability lies in improving eco-efficiency—staying within the current business framework. But sustainable consumption will require wider change, including shifts in the incentives that shape the actions of businesses and others, and a change in the culture that underlies market expectations. Firms, governments, the media and civil society may need to enter a dialogue together to develop a new story about the nature of prosperity and the role of the business community in promoting it. The initiative is most likely to come from civil society.     

Impact of cleaner production on business performance

Extensive research has examined the relationship between environmental management/performance and business performance but yielded no conclusive results. This paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, instead of focusing on one aspect, we try to compare using various types of cleaner production activities: low- and high-cost activities. Second, the study complements the existing literature which focuses on firms in developed countries with an analysis of firms in the Chinese manufacturing industry. In this paper, the relationship between cleaner production and business performance was analyzed using Structure Equation Model (SEM). We find an overall positive impact of cleaner production on firm's business performance. We also found that the cleaner production activities of low-cost scheme have a bigger contribution to financial performance compared to non-financial performance, while cleaner production activities of high-cost scheme have a greater contribution to non-financial performance, compared to financial performance. This study should be useful for firms that consider adopting cleaner production as well as stakeholders who aim to promote cleaner production.

Aiming for sustainability in the tour operating business

Indications of what the tour-operating sector considers to be ‘good practice’ can be drawn from voluntary initiatives such as existing eco-labels and codes of conduct. However, practical implementation of such guidance varies greatly from one tour operator to another, depending on different types of factors, such as size, financial capacity, corporate structure, operational location, organizational culture, ownership type, etc.This paper investigates the dimensions of what is currently referred to as ‘good practice’ in the tour operating industry, with the aim of exploring their comprehensiveness and sufficiency as tools for making mass tourism a more sustainable business.
