The Natural Step

The guidelines and steps that IKEA is taking to become more environmentally friendly is by having 50% of their wood will come from more sustainable areas and 100% of their wood from priority areas (IKEA Group, 2014). Also, by August 2015, all cotton used by IKEA will be sourced

IKEA was founded in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943. IKEA has been established around the world in 26 different countries. Within these countries IKEA has a total of 303 stores.

with the sheer efforts of governments are not sufficient.

An example of this kind of relationship would be IKEA carries Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified lumber and paper by which they ensure the right practice on forest management.

also mate and reproduce. Adaption: The inherited behavior or physical characteristic that help an organism survive and reproduce on its own. Evolution: Change over time; the process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organism. Natural selection:The process by which organisms that are best adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Variation: Any difference between individuals of the same species. Overproduction: When the species produce too many offspring

emphasizes the importance of finishing the prescribed bottle of antibiotics relates to all 5 steps for evolution by natural selection. The first step one is over reproduction. All animals have the ability to produce more offspring than can possibly survive. This could be critically dangerous for humans because if the bacteria duplicate numerously then the antibiotics might not even be able to kill all bacteria. Another step

CRADLE-TO-CRADLE In his Natural Step framework, Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt states that: 1. In order for a society to be sustainable, nature’s functions and diversity are not systematically subjected to increasing concentrations of substances extracted from the Earth’s crust. In a sustainable society, human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and the mining of metals and minerals will not occur at a rate that causes them to increase systematically in the ecosphere. 2. Nature’s functions and

environmentalism and competitiveness by putting emphasis on the positive results rather than on the technologies (Bruekner 2010, 62). This essay shall explain the advantages and weaknesses of natural step and natural capitalism and why they are considered as market-based environmentalism. The natural step framework is an approach for tackling environmental problems built on agreement and systems assessment (Bruekner 2010, 63). Its main aim is to make organizations move towards sustainability by

Dry Natural Hair Dry hair is a universal complaint of people with natural hair. The tighter your kinks and coils, the more likely it is for your hair to be dry. Additionally, if your hair has a low porosity, the cuticles are tightly closed and the result is that it makes it difficult for moisture to enter the hair shaft. There are a number of key practices that help to keep natural hair moisturised. Let’s take a look a some of the practices to boost and maintain the moisture levels of natural hair
