Little history on the group memebers.

Mandeep Manhas: Mandeep is a very outgoing person and loves to talk a lot, she never fears anything that comes in front of her she has been dancing for the past 11 years and hopes to continue as the years go by. She has also played the following sports-and still does; soccer, basketball, rugby, wrestling, swim and dive, track and field, cross country, football. Hopefully Mandeep hopes to get her diploma in Management and then go back to her original study...Criminal Justice, and become a lawyer in her own law firm (this is why she took Business Adm.). Mandeep also has took 1 year of Criminal Justice at Mount Royal, but intimidated by her friends to come to SAIT.


Mawesh Shoukat: Mawesh is an extremely shy person, even though she may not seem as shy, best bet is you better become her partner in a group before you expect her to talk to you. Once she gets to know you better have a data plan to talk to her over text messages. She has completed her education in Bow Valley as a Medical Office Assistances, but since that had not satisfied her she’s now at SAIT! And hopefully gets her major in Finance to soon work at the bank and open up to her customers and start to talk!

Kendra Wegschedler: Kendra is a very shy person, but once she gets to know you...Be careful because she'll talk her day out with you! She is currently enrolled in Business Adm. and hopes to major in Accounting and finds math her best friend. She plays no sports and does no extra activities because she’s tangled up with studies and school :(

 

Kambiz Nehchiri: Kambiz is not as shy as he looks, he is original form Iraq, but to pursue a better and further is education he had moved to America where he received his degree in mathematics, computer engineer and still hasn’t had enough! He’s now in SAIT to achieve his major in accounting in order to hopefully become a CGA and find the right place, so he can belong there. Kambiz also works as a security officer when he’s not at school, also when he doesn’t have enough homework to keep him busy, but all is well.

Why Coffee Cost so Much?

THE COST OF COFFEE

The cost of coffee is so high for several reasons. The current price of Arabica coffee beans in the global market price is rounded to 0.45 - 0.75 cents per pound in 2001. Now in 2010 coffee per pound is $1.26 the price has gone up so rapidly because the fair-trade association has set the price to $1.21 as the sustainable production price for coffee. Therefore in order for a farmer to grow a pound of coffee in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way and still have enough left over to live a regular life style he will charge $1.21/pound and an additional 5 cents to represent a premium that foes into a certain fund to pay for development projects and other needs for the community as a whole. Now if we look at a $5.00 cup of coffee from Starbucks, they only pay $ 1.26 towards the coffee and the rest of the $ 3.74 is the amount of product and promotion time to spend towards your coffee. Now if we make our own coffee for example, we buy the Costco brand of coffee in the three-pound can. The can costs about $10, and it lasts about 2 months. That's for 60, strong 20-24 ounce cups of coffee and, about $0.16 per cup. Of course, there are other costs: milk, cream, the electricity to heat it up, and the time it takes to make the cup of coffee. But, the cost of the other ingredients is negligible, and if you make coffee as part of a routine in the morning, the time cost is also negligible (or close to it if the alternative use of time is finding the coffee shop and waiting in line). Let's double our previous price to account for these other costs. Therefore, the cup of coffee costs around $0.32 if we make our own, or even coffee shops that charge $5.00 per cup.

Natural Capitalism

Natural Capitalism

            Much of the society has gained the votes and the population towards Natural Capitalism, one or many may also believe that the levels of production and consumption in developed countries is unsustainable and that the only way to help the environment is to overcome everything going on around them and to go against capitalism or completely scrap the economy. Natural Capitalism is an extension of the economic ideas that one or even many have on their mind about capitals, such as manufactured means of production towards the goods and services that are also linked to many topics such as natural environment that collects all living and non-living things that happen naturally on earth. But that’s not all, there is so much more that is involved in natural capitalism for example, the natural ecosystems that gives away a flow of valuable ecosystem good or services into the future. Such as, the stock of trees or fish gives a stream of new trees to grow and more fishes to be produced this is known as sustainability.
            Natural Capitalism is slowly going to become beneficial to the society once we all notice how to make the change because it provides services such as our recycling programs to eliminate the amount of waist being produced in the city as well as the control towards the filth going into our drinking water, and it controls erosion. The structure and diversity of the system the city as to run is an important part of natural capitalism and requires a lot of attention that they occupy the whole system this refers to the possibility of all economic activities of life to function simply. Hence many business practices fail to imply natural capitalism into account which is not only raising our scarcity but their own as well. In result to this the natural capitalism is being dishonored and liquidated by the wasteful use towards the production(s) such as energy, materials, water, fiber, ecosystems, and topsoil. Our true value and experience towards natural capitalism shows that companies enjoy the increase in their own profit and separate the competitive advantages by the business as if natural capitalist was properly being valued and not just ignored and valued at a zero on a scale of ten. "Companies that adopt these principles will do very well, while those that do not won't be a problem, since ultimately they won't be around." -- Edgar Woolard, former chair of Dupont
