So, Greens and Co. took the initiative of introducing the GreenXPress format because they realized that this format had the potential to be successful because of it’s unique offerings. 2. What information gathered from the research influenced Greens & Co’s business decisions? Ans: The information gathered that influenced Green and Co.’s business decisions are the following: i)The most important information that influenced Green & Co’s decision to enter the US market is that their US competitor McLarens , they did not have as much presence in California as in other states, states which gave Greens & Co. an opportunity to enter the Californian market without entering into a head-on competition with McLarens. ii) They discovered that American consumers prefer healthier food no matter the healthier versions of any product meant to be more expensive. iii) The researcher of Greens & Co. found that American consumers visit different stores for different products. This gave them an opportunity to have American’s try their brand out as well as the older brands already existing in the market and those that they are familiar with. iv)They found that there is no such presence of the concept of GreenXPress format, which is a cross between a grocery and a convenience store, which meant the products
The Green Revolution a period of time that genetically modified crops were engineered, pesticides and fertilizer were created starting in the 1940s ending in the 1960s. This period caused a lot of debate on the Green Revolution some stating it positively affected the world and some stating that it negatively affected the world. The positives of the Green Revolution include increasing yields, increasing profit for farmers, lowering prices for foods which then allows the poor afford the food, and crops can be genetically modified to contain specific vitamin. The Green revolution is negative because it caused an increase in global pollution, chemical pollution, and health risks due to the exposure to the chemical produced during the Green Revolution.

Ted Steinberg’s book American Green gives a detailed description of lawn and its role in America. He gives a history of lawn starting from the origin of the word “lawn” itself in the 16th century and gives wide-ranging anecdotes throughout the book that attempt to show the reader how obsessed Americans are with their lawns. His anecdotes are often meant to represent people all over America, but when you take a step back you realize that they are actually rare stories that provide little broader meaning. Steinberg fails to prove that American’s are obsessed with their lawns because of the poor assumptions he makes and examples he uses.
Green’s world had changed a lot after her family was killed from the massive fire in the city. In the novel, it says, “My grief was cold. It was nothing to share…But I was lazy and did no work. What was the point?” (Hoffman 21, 22). After her family was killed in the fire, Green feels as if there is no point in life anymore. She does not care about what happens to her anymore, but her feelings begin to change. As the chapter continues, it says, “Wherever I went, I carried stones in my pockets, my hands, my boots.

Question: Which factors contributed to USAA being a leader in the use of IT in its industry?
Paper Towns is The New York Times Bestseller, Edgar Award, and Printz Award winning novel written by John Green. The way Green organizes the book is well simple and well planned and is simple to follow. The novel is divided into three sections that organize the growth of the story and plot. I liked the way this was done because it keeps the reader alert and more involved in the novel. Margo and Quentin, the two main characters in the novel, are childhood friends who gradually drift apart as they grow older. Everything changes between Margo and Quentin when they discover a dead man 's body. This event transforms their lives and Margo 's imagination. Margo disappears one day after spending a night filled with bold risks with Quentin, and he is convinced that Margo left him clues to help him find her. Symbolism is shown throughout the book that helps convey many different meanings of life; and two examples of symbolism include strings and paper towns.

When thinking about energy efficiency, the ultimate “green car”, the Prius, is actually one of the sources of the worse pollution in North America! (Demorro). The Toyota Prius, known as the most iconic “green” car, earns itself the most miles per gallon with the efficiency of using two engines, one of them being an electric. Controversially, the electric engine heavily relies on the use of “rare earth elements” which production comes almost exclusively from China. Alongside with China's hazardous mining techniques and careless refining practices, the top two rare earth elements used for hybrids are seen also as
