Sustainable Glasgow Policy To produce a sustainable event, the introduction of sustainable policy should always be the first step. ‘Sustainable Glasgow’ is an initiative that was developed in 2010 by Glasgow’s City Council, to make Glasgow a city that obeys sustainable policy and ensures necessary action. The aim of the policy is to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Glasgow by improving the quality of life in the city through protecting the environment. Sustainable Glasgow is a partnership between the city’s council, the University of Strathclyde and a host of businesses with the aim of making Glasgow one of the most sustainable cities in Europe (Glasgow City Council, 2015) This is a great initiative as currently the majority …show more content…

The yearly Festival is also one of the main cultural festivals to help Glasgow City Council’s objective, to create a more sustainable city with long term positive impacts. Glasgow City Council Food Safety Enforcement Policy The ‘Glasgow City Council Food Safety Enforcement Policy’ was developed and introduce to make sure that all food produced, and consumed within the City is safe, and of good quality demanded by the consumer.

are the local community, environment, general public, shareholders or investors, employees, customers and government or administrative bodies. Although not much information is not given on the social responsibilities of Cedar Fair L.P. it is acceptable to interpret and understand what their social responsibilities are as a company. It is a social responsibility of Cedar Fair L.P. to voluntarily eliminate hazards. Some examples are making sure rides are secure and safe to ride, that includes when weather is not cooperating, and installing security fences to contain guests for their own safety. Food safety is another social responsibility for eliminating hazards, many people have allergies and it is necessary for each park to label and clearly state what’s included in the recipe, what the food was cooked in and where the ingredients came from. It is also extremely important to follow OSHA’s requirements for proper food handling, storing and cooking methods.
These days, it seems that everyone is talking about “sustainability” or “going green.” However, these terms are somewhat confusing and difficult to classify. Over the past few decades, the concept of sustainable viticulture has emerged and is spreading awareness to grape growers and winemakers across the United States and beyond.
Almost every angle of the food industry can be considered dangerous. It is dangerous to make the food, as a meatpacking job is one that is viewed as having abnormally high risks; however when the food is handed over a counter on a tray or prepared in a family of four’s kitchen, it poses a huge risk to humankind. Foodborne illnesses are all too common and almost everybody has the possiblity of contracting a foodborne illness. These are life threatening diseases that need to be monitored and regulated; therefore the enforcement of government regulations in the fast food industry could potentially save many lives that are lost annually due to the numerous factors that need regulation.

This paper analyzes sustainability as a sociomaterial practice at the waterfront of João Pessoa from its everyday life and from the actions of its Management Committee. Authors understand sustainability as a daily sociomaterial practice that was not prescribed, and which emerges from, perpetuates and is modified through daily interactions between humans and non-humans. According to sociomateriality, these are the constitutive elements of all social reality. Authors present the ethnomethodology approach as an alternative to study the issue – ethnomethodology can be understood here as a theoretical approach to practice studies, as well as a methodological approach to understand everyday life phenomena. Therefore, the practice was ethnomethodologicaly investigated to check its daily accomplishments from which authors aimed to comprehend how this practice happened in the context of João Pessoa’s waterfront.
According to Pope Francis, “Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is a harm done to humanity” (UNDISPATCH, 2016), but it can imply that people should attend in sustainability in a long term. A sustainable city is developing and providing the things that society need without a negative effect on the next generation. Reference Framework for Sustainable Cities (RFSC), which consists of economy, society and environment, is one of the methods to help a city to approach with sustainability. However, these have to generate or balance with each other (Pearson, 2015). Toronto is one of the cities that have made progress in becoming a sustainable city.
The policy is trying to make a food literate community accessing safe, affordable and nutritious food. It is trying to ensure that safe, nutritious and affordable food is available and accessible for all Australians now and into the future. The National Preventative Health Taskforce, The Australian Food and Grocery Council, Hon Joe Ludwig (senator), the Food Branch of the Agricultural Productivity Division of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) and Public Health Association of Australia are the key stakeholders for the development of this policy. Ensuring affordable, safe and nutritious food is accessible and available for all Australians especially the Indigenous People in the remote areas, now and into the future.
The third weakness is the fact that food tests, inspections, and the detection of contaminants are taken seriously only after an outbreak of some food-borne diseases, food poisoning, or deaths. The increase in the number of food establishments or outlets such as cold stores, hypermarkets, and supermarkets reported by the Public Health Director has also made inspection and control mo...
Food safety is an increasingly important public health issue. Governments all over the world are intensifying their efforts to improve food safety. Food borne illnesses are diseases, usually either infectious or toxic in nature, caused by agents that enter the body through the ingestion of food. “In industrialized countries, the percentage of people suffering from food borne diseases each year has been reported to be up to 30%. In the United States of America, for example, around 76 million cases of food borne diseases, resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths, are estimated to occur each year.” (Geneva 2)
In a world where over half of the human population calls a city their home, the need to restructure and revolutionize the way we design our urban environments has never been greater. Currently, the notion that these vast metropolises of metal, concrete, and sludge could one day be fully realized pillars of sustainability is certainly laughable. However, when these same cities are constantly growing and multiplying across the globe, all the while using a greater and greater chunk of our planet’s energy, this impossible task becomes a necessary focus. To strive towards the closed, continuous loop of “true” sustainability could greatly alter the image of the modern city. Any improvement over the current state of urban affairs could carry weight, and even if that goal is not entirely fulfilled, the gained benefits would be immense.
From business conferences to weddings, there are events going on all around us, and where there are events there are event planners constructing it, putting it all together, while making everything run effectively. Event planning is always unpredictable and you need to be always ready for any problematic situation that may occur. When starting out there is a great chance that problems will occur that one will not prepared to face, but this is all a part of the improvement process. These situations should be looked at as a learning experience and should give you some ideas of how to improve one’s event planning skills and one’s own business. Because of all the hospitality, craziness, and personal gratification, I have chosen to become an event planner.
