You will research and select an innovative sustainability idea that is designed to minimize the population’s footprint on the environment.

Your paper should be organized as follows:

— Introduce the problem: What impacts are the growing population and urbanization having on the environment?

— Identify the specific problem you will address: While there are many impacts on the environment, your paper will select and focus on one. For example, you might choose to focus on air quality or water consumption or waste accumulation. Tell the reader about the specific problem you will be addressing and why it is a concern for the future.

— Analyze one specific solution to the problem you selected: This is where you will describe the innovative sustainability idea you found in your research. Tell the reader how the sustainability project works and how it will address the problem.

— Conclude by telling the reader where the project is currently being used. Is there an organization promoting the project? Are there any cities that have already implemented the project?

Some ideas of innovative sustainability projects are:

Edible Landscaping

Zero Waste Stores

Household Composting

Farmer’s Markets

Permaculture

Xeriscaping

Transportation Alternatives

Household Rain Collection Systems

Renewable Energy

Historical Speech Review

The ability to recognize and explain the elements of the speech communication process is the beginning of truly understanding how to prepare for and deliver effective oral presentations. When we are able to recognize the elements of the communication process, we are then able to think more critically about the other factors involved in the effective delivery of oral presentations.

For this assignment, you will view a historical speech (see below) and explain how the speech uses each of the elements of the communication process identified in the week two discussion.

Benchmarking at Xerox

By the late 1970s, Xerox was losing significant market share to its Japanese competitors. Not only were the Japanese products excellent but also, to Xerox’s dismay, they were sold for less than Xerox could manufacture them. Xerox found that it had nine times as many suppliers as the Japanese companies and made seven times as many manufacturing defects. Lead times for new products were twice as long, and production setup times were five times as long as the competitors’.

Xerox introduced benchmarking in 1980. Its processes and practices were benchmarked against the best in and out of its industry. As a result of these efforts, Xerox saved itself. Today, Xerox is a world-class competitor, capable of holding its own in terms of technology, price, service, and customer satisfaction against any competition. Benchmarking at Xerox has reached into every facet of the company and remains a primary feature of the corporation.

Discussion Question

Discuss the following question in class or outside of class with your fellow students:

Using public domain information, such as that available on the Internet, determine where Xerox stands relative to its competitors today.
