    Bachelor of Commerce Program COM 362, Sections A01, A02, A03, and A04 Business and Sustainability Fall Term 2010, Course Outline APPENDICES - 1 - Appendix 1-1 Individual Assignment 1: Life Cycle Impacts & Opportunities (4 Points) Due at beginning of class September 22, 2010 ! Note also Due Date of September 18, 2010 for Newsletter Registration in Appendix 1-3 ! Overview: You will identify the environmental and social negative impacts and environmental and social positive opportunities at various stages in the life cycle of a product. Instructions: Select a product from a company or industry you are interested in. Apply “Life Cycle Thinking” to complete the Worksheet provided on page 4, identifying first ENVIRONMENTAL negative impacts and positive opportunities of your product at various stages of the product life cycle, then SOCIAL negative impacts and positive opportunities at various stages in the life cycle of a product. Use the Worksheet as a guide and customize to fit your product, but do cover all aspects of the product or service life cycle, thinking broadly about all the inputs, process steps and their impacts, transportation, logistics, delivery, product or service in-use or consumption, and end-of-life. This should be a high level summary, so all your work should fit on one to two pages (you may want to turn the chart to landscape and use 9-10 point Ariel Narrow font). Do research your topic, looking at relevant companies’ Sustainability Reports, news, industry critics, NGOs, etc. As you work, try to assess which of the impacts and opportunities are most significant. Examples of negative environmental impacts might include loss of biodiversity from clear-cutting, pesticides applied to soil, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from diesel fuel burned in hauling, chemicals used in machining, water contamination in manufacturing, packaging sent to landfill, toxic leakage after disposal, etc.

THAT Council adopt the NEU investment decision framework to guide NEU expansion into parts of Mount Pleasant, Northeast False Creek and the False Creek Flats, as outlined in this report, with funding subject to Council approval of future Capital Plans. B. THAT staff bring proposed amendments to the Energy Utility System By-law 9552 forward to Council for enactment, expanding the service area to include parts of Mount Pleasant, Northeast False Creek and the False Creek Flats, as described in Figure 1 of this report. REPORT SUMMARY This report recommends a framework for expansion of the NEU service area to parts of Mount Pleasant, Northeast False Creek, and the False Creek Flats (including the Providence Hospital site). This aligns with previously approved community plans for these areas which require new building developments to utilize neighbourhood energy. The decision on NEU expansion is time sensitive, due to advancement of building development and infrastructure projects within the subject areas.
