Question 3
Use of sustainable resources.
The resources which are for this initiative include;
Green Waste. Green waste helps in reduction of pollution in the hospitality and tourism industry
as these wastes will easily decompose thus reducing pollution in the surrounding. Green waste
can be used in the farm as compost manure since they easily decompose.

from the kitchen can be used in the garden.

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE WORK PRACTICE
Biodegradable and non-Toxic supplies. Biodegradable supplies helps in reduction of piled
wastes which always pollute the environment around these industries. These supplies are used to
substitute non-biodegradable supplies which highly pollutes the environment.

Question 3
Taking example of a Kitchen:
3 Minutes with tap having a flow rate of 6.81 L per minute
For this the total flow will be given by:
Totalflow=time× flowrate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1
Totalflow=3 ×6.81
Totalflow=20.43 Liters per 2 minutes.
Bathroom: 15 Minutes with shower with a flow rate = 9 L/1 Min = 135 L/15 Min Bathroom: 2
Minutes with a washer with a flow rate = 68L/wash.
For bathroom having a shower operating for 14 Minutes with a flow rate of 10 Liters per minute
For this, the total flow will be given by equation 1 above.
Totalflow=time× flowrate
Totalflow=14 ×10=140 liters

ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE WORK PRACTICE
Totalflow=140 litersfroevery 14 minutes
Question 4
Use a distinctive incandescent lamp that draws 10 watts which is equivalent to 0.01 kilowatts.
And 60 watts, and 60
1000 = 0.06 kilowatts.
By using an incandescent lamp rated at 20 watts that is equivalent to 0.02 kilowatts ( 20
1000 =0.02
kilowatts). Therefore for 60 watts , itwill 60
1000 =0.06 kilowatts.
Question 5
Recycling involves turning waste materials into a significant resource or material. This process
of recycling constitutes sorting and gathering of recyclable materials, and the dispensation of the
sorted materials to useful material which can then be processed and sold again to consumers
(Kassens-Noor, 2012). For an instant, having an E-co bin recycling and waste bins put in place
for the collection and sorting of these materials (Shen, 2010).
Question 6
Area Provision for Recycling
