Describe an environmental dispute in your community or state in which a business is a major contributor to the problem or challenge. (Note that this should be a different issue than the one you used for Week Five Discussion Two.)
2. When describing the environmental dispute, discuss the specific business involved in the dispute, as well as the business’s role in the dispute.
3. Analyze the skills, knowledge, experience, and preparation that would be necessary for that business to successfully work with stakeholders to resolve the environmental dispute. In addition, analyze the deficiencies in the business’ ability to resolve the dispute successfully.
4. Prepare a SWOT analysis, using the SWOT Analysis Template (attached). Additional information on conducting a SWOT analysis is also available from Mind Tools (link below). Besides skills, knowledge, experience, and preparation, you should examine two other attributes of your choice in your SWOT analysis (e.g., homegrown business, foreign business, reputation of business, etc.).

Step 1: Describe the social issue, background, purpose, and focus of your social campaign v Briefly identify the social issue, sometimes referred to as the “wicked problem,” your plan will be addressing (e.g., tobacco use, air pollution, water contamination, literacy, homelessness, etc.).

Throughout the first two days of this week, keep a log of everything you “throw away.” Record how you disposed of it, then reflect on where the waste would be better off using the ISWM pyramid.
Record your results in a log resembling the one modeled below, and post comments about these habits and reflections to discuss and compare them with your classmates and instructor.

· Evaluate whether economic incentive systems are more or less ethically justifiable than the traditional regulatory approach. Consider the effects of economic incentive systems on prices paid by the poor, on employment, and on the speed of compliance with pollution control laws as well as the author’s thesis.
In the book, What Price Incentives?, the author, Steven Kelman, suggests that the use of economic incentives (such as emission charges or emissions trading) in environmental policy is undesirable. He argues that transforming our mental image of the environment from a sanctified preserve to a marketable commodity has detrimental effects not only on our use of the environment, but also on our attitude toward it. He believes that applying economic incentives to environmental policy weakens and cheapens our traditional values toward the environment.
Prepare a three-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) on the following:
· Evaluate whether economic incentive systems are more or less ethically justifiable than the traditional regulatory approach. Consider the effects of economic incentive systems on prices paid by the poor, on employment, and on the speed of compliance with pollution control laws as well as the author’s thesis.
· Kelman believes that emission allowances automatically prevent environmental degradation since they are more ethically desirable than emission charges. Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages associated with the two systems: emission allowances and emission charges. Discuss whether you are in alignment or not with the author (Kelman). Defend your position.
· If we were to allow the private market to bring about an efficient outcome that society would deem desirable, could the true market benefit and cost be effectively reflected? Explain why and use an example to illustrate your response.
