description |
This project is being conducted in Lincoln, Nebraska, through a literature
review and survey review. World energy consumption is continuing to rise, and
global power generation is responsible for more pollution than any other single
activity. Virtually all regions of the world have renewable energy sources, and
businesses need to become leaders in the renewable energy movement, in order to
preserve our environment for generations to come. The importance of our
environment should not be overlooked, and the potential benefits of thinking
sustainably are quantifiable. Conducting a literature review will help determine if
there has been an increase in companies implementing sustainable business
practices, as well as establish their opportunities for growth and profit. A small
survey of 20 questions, completed by 22 local businesses across Lincoln, will help
determine the company’s knowledge and interest levels of implementing a
renewable energy project, and what they feel are the main advantages and
disadvantages of doing so. Renewable energy is seen as the most important
instrument to mitigate climate change and reduce the negative effects of energy
production (Richter, 2012). Consumers are rewarding businesses that address
environmental concern and are punishing those that don’t (Bang et. al., 2000).
Companies that think with an environmental lens are generally more innovative and
profitable than its competitors (Etsy and Winston, 11, 2006). 100% of the
businesses surveyed believe that renewable energy is reliable and beneficial for the
environment. Only 14% of the respondents were very interested in implementing a
project, while 82% agree that they feel there are advantages to using renewables
over traditional methods. 95% of the participants feel that there is a marketing
advantage with renewables, yet 50% do not think that it could draw new customers
to their business. Solar energy is the most popular form of renewable energy
amongst the respondents. |
