It is easy to criticize society for not using renewable resources, but in reality, how difficult would this transition be? What kind processes and procedures would be involved? How would such a transition be made?

The purpose of this assignment is for you to consider what type of energy your neighborhood is currently powered by and what it would really take to convert this source to a renewable one. How much would it take to switch your community to a renewable resource and what would this mean for the environment?

For the assignment, complete the following:

• Identify three primary types of energy that powers your home as well as all of the homes in your community. You may find this information on your community Web site or the Web sites of the local power companies. For example, your community may use electricity and solar panels.
• Explain how the sources of energy you identified impact the environment. Consider the following:
  • Does the use of these types of energy resource have a negative impact on the environment in your area?
  • Does your community have nuclear waste to dispose of?
  • Has your community always used these three power sources? If so, how do you feel this has impacted the environment over time?
  • How much of an impact have these sources of energy had on local air and water quality?
• Considering the current source(s) of power available, determine how much energy your house uses each month. You can find this information on your monthly energy bill.

  Calculate your annual usage for a year. Using this value, estimate the energy consumption for your community. The US Census Bureau is one resource you can use to estimate the number of households in your community.

  You can use the following formulae for this calculation:

   

   

  (monthly energy usage) × (12 months per year) = (household energy usage per year); (yearly energy estimate for your house) × (estimated number of houses in your community) = (estimated yearly energy use for your community)

  The following is example of the above calculation:

  52.8 kilo watts per hour (kwh) × 12 months = 633.6 kwh; 633.6KWH × 200 houses in your community = 126,720 kwh

• Recommend a realistic, renewable resource to power your community, using your calculated power needs. Consider the following sources: hydropower, solar power, wind turbines, and geothermal energy.
  • Which source would be the best for your community?
  • Justify your choice based on the kind of resources that are available, how much power these alternative sources can produce, and your estimated energy demands for the community.
• Having recommended an alternative power source, conclude by addressing the following:
  • How realistic is this alternative power source for your community?
  • How will people in your community respond to energy conversion? Will they support it or be against it? Give reasons.
  • How expensive would it be to convert to the alternative power source you recommended? How would this new source impact the environment?
  • What organisms would benefit most from this conversion?

Support your statements with appropriate examples and approximately 4–6 credible resources.

Write an 8–10-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. 

To complete the assignment, perform the following tasks:

1. Open this Excel workbook and save the worksheet as “FirstInital_LastName_PivotIPA04_.xlsx.”
2. Highlight the entire data set, and insert a pivot table.

3. Create a new worksheet, and sort the pivot table as follows:
   • Move Student level to the Column level.
   • Move the Year will move to Values, changing your values to count instead of sum.
   • Move the Course to Row Label.
4. Insert a Column chart and expand your chart. Select Chart Layout 3, and also change your chart design style 2.
5. Add a title “Course Availability” for your table.
6. Save the worksheet as “Course Availability,” and save your document as “FirstInitial_LastName_PivotIPA04_solution.”
7. Return to the Data sheet, highlight all the data, and click on Insert a pivot chart.
   • For more information on how to create a pivot chart, click here.
8. Create a new worksheet, and sort the pivot chart as follows:
   • Filter the Year.
   • Move Courses to Axis Fields.
   • Move the Count of Student to Value.
9. Change your chart type to columns and choose a style from the design tab. Insert the name “Course Overview” as your title.
10. Adjust your new chart by expanding it from cells A22 to G48.
11. Rename the worksheet to “Course Overview.” Submit your Excel spreadsheet.

Final Paper

Scenario:
As the newly appointed safety manager at a large plastics manufacturing company, you are called to the loading dock to find that a large truck, full of cartons of pellets used in the manufacturing process, is engulfed in flames. The truck slid on ice in the parking area and crashed into empty trailers. A call to the city emergency services indicated that they will be delayed indefinitely due to roads made impassible by the ice storm. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the pellets indicates that burning releases toxic smoke. Note that larger companies are likely to have their own emergency response teams equipped and trained to handle the most likely hazards found at the site.

Assignment:
Prepare an Incident Action Plan that includes all of the requirements shown below. Respond to each bullet point based on what you know of the situation. Clearly state any assumptions you make in your plan. The list is a subset of the United States Department of Health & Human Services’ suggested comprehensive Incident Action Plan available at www.phe.gov/Preparedness/planning/.

•Identify at least two incident goals (i.e., where the response system should be at the end of response) and at least two operational objectives (i.e., major areas that must be addressed in the specified operational period to achieve the goals or control objectives).
•Describe at least two response strategies (i.e., priorities and the general approach to accomplish the operational objectives) and at least two response tactics (i.e., specific methods developed to achieve the response strategies).
•Prepare an organization list showing at least three primary roles and an assignment list with at least three specific tasks and their owners.
•Explain a health and safety plan (to prevent responder injury or illness) that includes at least three provisions to ensure personnel safety.
•Summarize a communications plan (how functional areas can exchange information) with at least a primary and secondary method of communication.
•Locate the incident using a map or precise verbal description that allows responders to find the area and indicate an area that non-responders should avoid.
