Human Resource Management Report on Environmental Stewardship

This report, focusing on Human Resource Management, emphasizes the collective responsibility of individuals in environmental protection, rather than solely relying on governmental or political actions. It outlines practical methods such as planting trees, purchasing local and compost foods, conserving water, and reducing chemical usage and waste disposal to mitigate pollution. The report highlights the detrimental effects of pollution, including water and air contamination and global warming, stressing the urgency for individual action.

Transcript
Introduction
The maintenance of the environment is not the duty of any particular person. It should
be a collective method of all. Every individual considers that it is the duty of the government
or the politicians to improve the environment. Government and the politicians do have a
responsibility of keeping their regions clean but this is not the responsibility of the politicians
only to maintain a good and clean environment. Every individual should participate in this
process. The environment should completely not be left out to the politicians.
Methods
 Every individual must plant trees and plants. It aims at reducing the pollution
(Wang & Yang, 2016).
 The citizens of a place must aim at buying the locally grown and compost
foods. The local foods reduce the cost of the transport, processing and
packaging (Percival, et al., 2015).
 It should be the duty of the people to conserve fresh water. The dumping of
the industrial wastes pollutes the water which should be reduced (Portney,
2016).
 The reduction of the use of the chemicals and the disposal of the wastes are an
important step towards the reduction of the wastes (Pearce, 2014).
Results
The planting of the trees results in the increases the oxygen level in the environment.
The remains of the plants and the waste of the kitchen make the rich nutrient filled food and
manure for the plants and it helps the plants to grow in faster pace. The conservation of water

results in the extraction of water which can be used as energy. The reduction of the use of the
chemicals would keep the environment clean and hygienic and will make a better place for
the humans to stay (Dechezleprêtre & Sato, 2017).
Discussion
The environment has faced a lot of hazards in the past years. The growing pollution is
resulting to a great threat to the life of the peoples. The hazards include the water pollution,
air pollution and global warming. These are human made and hence it is the responsibility of
every individual to eradicate these problems rather than depending upon the politicians
(Chung, 2014).
Conclusion
There is a proverb called `charity begins at home`. This proverb can be applied in this
case as well. The precautions that are needed to keep the environment clean should be taken
by every individual. Leaving it only for the politicians would not erase the pollution from the
environment. The resources are used by every individual and not only by the politicians.
Acknowledgements
While doing this assignment I had to face few obstacles in such cases I received from
my supervisors and professors. I got help from few articles and journals on environment. I
received helped from my classmates as well.
