Green energy initiatives in the hotel industry: factors influencing adoption decisions
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)Adopting green energy initiatives is deemed significant in reducing the carbon footprint of the hotel industry. In general, energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies offer wide applications in the hotel industry. ... -
Green Infrastructure and the Sustainable Metropolitan Village
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-28)The current model of suburban development in Canadian cities has serious consequences for the natural environment. The ubiquitous landscape of sprawl consumes excessive amounts of greenfield land and natural resources, ... -
Green Petroleum Refining - Mathematical Models for Optimizing Petroleum Refining Under Emission Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-04)Petroleum refining processes provide the daily requirements of energy for the global market. Each refining process produces wastes that have the capacity to harm the environment if not properly disposed of. The treatment ... -
The Green Scare: Radical environmental activism and the invention of "eco-terrorism" in American superhero comics from 1970 to 1990
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-22)American environmentalism became a recognizable social movement in the 1960s. In the following two decades the movement evolved to represent a diverse set of philosophies and developed new protest methods. In the early ... -
Green Supply Chain Design: A Lagrangian Approach
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)The expansion of supply chains into global networks has drastically increased the distance travelled along shipping lanes in a logistics system. Inherently, the increase in travel distances produces increased carbon emissions ... -
Green Supply Chain Network Design with Emission Sensitive Demand
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-30)Over the last few decades, the argument for a link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming has become stronger. In response, there has been a global shift. Politicians are implementing carbon policies while ... -
Green Thermo-Mechano-Chemical Processing for the Recovery of Lignocellulosic Biomass Components
(University of Waterloo, 2022-04-20)The components of lignocellulosic biomasses are attractive material alternatives for petroleum-derived products as they are renewable bioresources. However, their applicability is currently stunted by their acid-heavy ... -
Green Veblen effect: Sustainability in pollution management
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2023-05-01)We know that green products may initially exhibit a Veblen effect–demand increasing with prices–often followed by a decrease in price. The global understanding of these joint phenomena still needs to be improved, impeding ... -
Green-function study of electrified solids

Greenhouse gas cycling in experimental boreal reservoirs
(University of Waterloo, 2009-01-05)Hydroelectric reservoirs account for 59% of the installed electricity generating capacity in Canada and 26% in Ontario. Reservoirs also provide irrigation capacity, drinking water, and recreational opportunities. Further, ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(International Peatland Society (IPS) and the International Mire Conservation Group (IMCG), 2016-04-08)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Greenhouse gas emission factors associated with rewetting of organic soils
(Finnish Peatland Society, 2016-04)Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create suitable conditions for return of the carbon (C) sink ... -
Greenhouse Gas Emissions cuts, a set of fuel-based mitigation wedges in Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-24)To combat climate change, a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and low-carbon systems is necessary. The energy sector plays a pivotal role in this transition. This thesis aims to guide the Canadian oil ... -
Greenhouse gas flux and budget from an experimentally flooded wetland using stable isotopes and geochemistry
(University of Waterloo, 2003)A boreal forest wetland (L979) was flooded in 1993 at the Experimental Lakes Area, Ontario to imitate a hydroelectric reservoir and to study the effects of flooding on greenhouse gas production and emission. Flooding ... -
Greening the Game: Understanding the Organizational and Geographic Factors Influencing Environmental Commitment Among Professional Sports Teams
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-30)North American professional sports teams have substantial economic and social leverage due to their sizeable revenue streams and captive audiences. However, these professional sports teams also have the potential to influence ... -
Greenspace Planning in Ontario’s High-rise Environments: The greenspace planning context and experiences of families with children in high-rises
