...Running head: HEALING HOSPITALS Healing Hospitals Shari Wilson Grand Canyon University HLT-310V September 23, 2012 Healing Hospitals Spirituality and healing hospitals; what are they and how are they related to one another? Is every hospital considered a healing hospital and if not why? The purpose of this paper is to identify what spirituality means to this writer, to describe the components of a healing hospital and their relationship to one another, and to describe the challenges that hospitals today face in creating this healing environment. Spirituality can be defined as “the ongoing endeavor to grow in our relationship with God” (Pable, 2012). Spirituality is a considered a venture and not a set of ideas or principles. Spiritualty is a way of living that includes choices that are action-oriented. It gives direction to ones thinking and decision-making process and the actions that you take and it is something that is never ending. Spirituality is not the same for every individual. For some, spirituality has to do with ones relationship with God with the ultimate goal in broadening that personal relationship with him. For others, it may mean simply the challenge of reaching beyond ones current potential.

We can see through the success of Henry Ford that if the two or more projects are not affiliated or related to each other, starting another project after completely finishing one project can help us to focus on every pace and do each delicately. On the other hand, however, sometimes we need to take concerns on both projects, like the environment protection and the development of economy. An improving economy is the prerequisite of protecting the environment as it is ensure that people need to be in carefree lives first so that they can have vigor and capability to govern those thorny environmental problems.

Because soon this problem will be too much for us to handle and by then it will be too late. Save energy o Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs. o Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out. o Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts energy use. o Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water. o Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy...

...and Gulf of Bothnia and forms the eastern part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Sweden is predominantly agricultural, with increasing forest coverage as you move northward within the country. To emphasize it’s natural beauty, 65% of Sweden's total land area is covered with forests (Ministry of Environment). Thus, in regards to the natural environment of the country, it is only fitting that people strive to protect the country’s natural environment by going “green”. The EU is the only international organization that has the power to adopt extensive environmental regulations that are binding on its member countries. It is thus important for Sweden that the environmental requirements in the EU match up to an ambitious environmental policy. Sweden is also working to ensure that their country is a driving force to protect their environment and secure sustainable development within the country (Ministry of Environment). In terms of environmental policies within the country, Sweden has worked to set ambition goals for greenhouse gas reduction and to strengthen the position of the EU in global climate negotiations.

...1. Yes, I do believe Walmart is doing enough to become more sustainable. Walmart is one of the most powerful companies internationally. As with all things that come with power, Walmart’s business practices are scrutinized thoroughly. This includes their relationships with suppliers, employees, consumers, and the environment. In recent years, the environment has become such a big issue that Walmart, as well as other companies have had to respond to this growing concern. Part of the reason Walmart has not only stayed around but has continued to grow over the years has been its ability to adapt to change in times. This ability has helped them with their environmental practices. Walmart has attempted to address the concerns of its environmental stakeholders by becoming a “greener” company. Walmart has many goals such as reducing greenhouse gases at stores, clubs, and distribution centers worldwide by 20 percent, designing prototypes to be 25 to 30 percent more efficient and developing and installing innovative energy-efficient technology into stores. Currently Walmart is working on four main green areas: waste improvement and recycling, natural resources, energy, and social/community impact.

The success of local benefits is essential to the success of GEF’s goals and rd work for the environment. “A principle determinant of success or failure in generating and maintaining global benefits is the extent to which local communities are involved as direct actors in the process and are motivated by having a stake in the outcome”(World Bank, 2006). The World Bank and GEF’s goals are to minimize poverty and improve the living standards among the people. They will achieve this by continuing to grow and invest in people. “The World Bank’s long experience in rural and community development, its financial capacity, and its policy of mainstreaming global environmental concerns into the development agenda mean that it is well placed to support environmental projects through a solid grounding in the broader development process at the local level”(World Bank, 2006).

Carson, known as the “godmother of modern environmentalism, impacted the American public’s consciousness with her detailed exposition on the dangers of environmental pollution to human health. By examining the ecological impacts of hazardous substances that pollute both the natural and human environments, like pesticides, Carson fundamentally altered the way Americans perceived the environment and the dangers of toxins to themselves. Conservationism vs. environmentalism By the 1870s, resource exploitation dominated development patterns in the West. Natural resources were devoured by destructive practices in mining, overgrazing, timber cutting, monocrop planting, and speculation in land and water rights. In 1902, for example, the Reclamation Act established the Reclamation Service, whose mission was to accomplish “the reclamation and settlement of the arid lands. The Reclamation...
