This boosts the reputation and image of Adidas by making people more aware of the compa
6、nys values.H Enormous opportunities also lie with e-waste. It is estimated that in 2022 the world produced some 42 million metric tons of e-waste (discarded electrical and electronic euipment and its parts) with North America and Europe accounting for 8 and 12 million metric tons respectively. The m
7、aterials from e-waste include iron, copper, gold, silver, and aluminum-materials that could be reused, resold, salvaged, or recycled. Together, the value of these metals is estimated to be about $52 billion. Electronics giants like Best Buy and Samsung have provided e-waste take-back programs over t
8、he past few years, which aim to refurbish (翻 新)old electronic components and parts into new products.I For other companies interested in reducing waste, helping the environment, and providing the sustainable lifestyles that consumers seek, here are some first steps for building a relationship with c
9、ustomers that focuses on recycling and restoring value to products:J Find partners. If you are a manufacturer who relies on outside distributors, then retailers are the ideal partner for collecting old products. Power tool maker De Walt partners with companies, such as Lowes and Napa Auto Parts, to
10、collect old tools at their stores for recycling. The partnership benefits both sides by allowing unconventional partners (for example, two companies from two different industries) to work together on a specific aspect of the value chain, like, in this example, an engine firm with an accessory one.K
11、Create incentives. Environmental conscientiousness isnt always enough to make consumers recycle old goods. For instance, De Walt discovered that many contractors were holding on to their old tools, even if they no longer worked, because they were expensive purchases and it was hard to justify bringi
12、ng them in to recycle. By offering instant discounts worth as much as $100, De Walt launched a trade-in program to encourage people to bring back tools. As a result, Dewait now reuses those materials to create new products.L Start with a trial program, and expect to change the details as you go. Any
13、 take- back program will likely change over time, depending on what works for your customers and company goals. Maybe you see low customer participation at first, or conversely, so much success that the cost of recycling becomes too high. Best Buy, for instance, has been bearing the lions share of e
14、-waste volume since two of its largest competitors, Amazon and Wal-mart, do not have their own recycling programs. Since the launch of its program, Best Buy changed its policy to add a $25 fee for recycling old televisions in order to keep the program going.M Build a culture of collective values wit
15、h customers. A stronger relationship between the retailer/producer and the consumer isnt just about financial incentives. By creating more awareness around your efforts to reduce waste, and by developing a culture of responsibility, repair, and reuse, you can build customer loyalty based on shared v
16、alues and responsibilities.N These examples are just the tip of the iceberg, but they demonstrate how helping customers get more use of their materials can transform value chains and operations. Reducing waste by incorporating used materials into production cancut costs and decrease the price of pro

22、choices marked A), B), C) and D).

23、 Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has declared a strike against 11 video game publishers over games that went into production after Feb. 17, 2022. The companies include some of the heavyweights of the industry, like Electronic Arts Productions, Insomniac Games, Activision and Disney.The strike comes in lig
24、ht of an unsuccessful 19 months of negotiations after the existing labor contract known as the Interactive Media Agreement expired in late 2022. Overall, the strike is an effort to provide more secondary compensation along with other concerns, such as transparency upon hiring talent and on-set (制作中)
25、safety precautions.The video gaming industry has ballooned in recent years. The Los Angeles Times reports that the industry is in the midst of an intense increase in cash flow. In 2022, gaming produced $23.5 billion in domestic revenue.But SAG-AFTRA says voice actors dont receive residz/o/s (追力酬金)fo
26、r their gaming work. Instead, they receive a fixed rate, which is typically about $825 for astandard four-hour vocal session. So the voice actors are pushing for the idea of secondary compensation一a performance bonus every time a game sells 2 million copies or downloads, or reaches 2 million subscri
27、bers, with a cap at 8 million.“Its a very small number of games that would trigger this secondary compensation issue/7 said voice actor Crispin Freeman, whos a member of the unions negotiating committee. This is an important aspect of what it means to be a freelance (从事自由职 业 的)performer, who isnt re
28、gularly employed every single day working on projects.Another major complaint from the actors is the secrecy of the industry. I cant imagine if theres any other acting job in the world where you dont know what show youre in, when youre hired,“ says voice actor Keythe Farley, who chairs the SAG- AFTR
29、A negotiating committee.“And yet that happens every day in the video game world/7 Farley told reporters during a press conference Friday. I was a main character in Fallout 4, a character by the name of Kellogg, and I never knew that I was doing vocal recording for that game throughout the year and a
30、 half.”Scott Witlin, the lawyer representing the video game companies, says voice actors represent less than one tenth of 1 percent of the work that goes into making a video game.z, So even though theyre the top craftsmen in their field,,z Witlin says, if we pay them under a vastly different system

36、ew space policy focused on managing the increasing number of satellites that companies and governments are launching into space. Space Policy Directive-3 lays out general guidelines for the United States to mitigate (缓角军)the effects of space debris and track and manage traffic in space.This policy s
37、et the stage for the Department of Commerce to take over the management of traffic in space. The department will make sure that newly launched satellites dont use radio freuencies that would interfere with existing satellites, and schedule when such new satellites can be launched. This only applies
38、to American space activities, but the hope is that it will help standardize a set of norms in the dawning commercial spaceflight industry throughout the world.Space, especially the space directly around our planet, is getting more crowded as more governments and companies launch satellites. One impe
39、tus for the policy is that companies are already starting to build massive constellations (星 座),comprising hundreds or thousands of satellites with many moving parts among them. With so much stuff in space, and a limited area around our planet, the government wants to reduce the chances of a collisi
40、on. Two or more satellites slamming into each other could create many more out-of-control bits that would pose even more hazards to the growing collection of satellites in space.And its not like this hasnt happened before. In 2022 an old Russian craft slammed into a communications satellite, creatin
41、g a cloud of hundreds of pieces of debris and putting other hardware at risk. Journalist Sarah Scoles reports that NASA currently tacks about 24,000 objects in space, and in 2022 the Air Force had to issue 3,995,874 warnings to satellite owners alerting them to a potential nearby threat from another
42、 satellite or bit of debris.Thats why this new policy also includes directions to update the current U.S. Government Orbital Debris Mitigation Standard Practices, which already reuire any entity that launches a satellite or spacecraft to vigorously analyze the likelihood thatany of their actions, fr
43、om an unexpected failure or normal operations, will create more space debris. It includes accounting for any piece of debris they plan to release over 5mm that might stay in orbit for 25 years or more. It might seem surprising to think about an item staying in space for that long, but the oldest sat
44、ellite still in orbit Vanguard 1一turned 60 in 2022.Agencies and companies throughout the world are working on developing technology that would dispose of or capture space debris before it causes serious damage. But for now, the U.S. government is more focused on preventing new debris from forming th
