ASSESSMENT TASK 1: RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS

Assessment task instructions:
This is the first assessment task consisting of 2 parts: Part A consists of research and Part B consists of 9 written questions. You must
complete both parts successfully to gain a “Satisfactory” outcome.
Purpose of the assessment task:
The purpose of the assessment task is to assess your knowledge in the following:
 environmental and resource hazards and risks
 Australian and international standards for corporate social sustainability
 sustainability regulations and codes of practice applicable to own role
 organisational sustainability policies and procedures
 reporting channels and procedures to report breaches and potential issues
 advantages of sustainable practices in the workplace.
Assessment conditions and resources:
Assessment will be conducted in a safe simulated environment where you will have access to documentation, information and resources on
workplace environmental and resource efficiency and sustainability legislation, regulations and standards and links to complete environmental
research.
Part A – Research:
Activity 1: ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT (Guide: 15 minutes)
Access the “Ecological Footprint Calculator”. http://www.footprintcalculator.org/ and complete this
activity which should take you approximately 10-15 minutes.
Once you have completed the activity, write down three (3) things you have learnt about
environmental sustainability impacts.
1 I have learned that a lot of the world's resources have been consumed. The current global hectare is 1.7 per
person but mine was 7.6 Gha, about 3 times more than the land can provide
2 My CO2 emissions rate was 13 tonnes per year. Which was 59% of my total ecological footprint.
3 I have learned that If I continue living like this my personal earth overshoot day will be in 3 Mar. I will be
needed 5.9 earths to live.
Activity 2: STORY OF STUFF (Guide: 30+ words)

Click on the link below and watch “Story of stuff” (YouTube video).
https://www.storyofstuff.org/movies/story-of-stuff/
Once you have watched the video, explain what you have learnt from the video and start Part B of
this assessment task.
After watching the video, I could understand that we live in a world that is running out of resources. we all
consume and throw away too many things because we buy things even if it is not necessary, we are consumerists.
It is necessary to become aware that we must change our way of thinking so that the world lasts longer.
Part B - Questions:
1.1. What does environmental sustainability mean? (Guide: 30+ words)
Environmental sustainability is the responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to
support health and wellbeing, now and in the future, also to ensure future generation have natural resources
available to live an equal or better way of life as current generation.

Activities:
Read the scenario below and complete the following activities.
Case study
Robert owns the Old Pub in the small town of Forester. The Old Pub has been servicing the locals since 1955. It has only been
renovated a few times in its life and the last refurbishment was in 1987.
Since then many people have visited and Robert River and his family have only owned the Old Pub for a few years.
Recently the local Council announced an Environmental Community Initiative for small business.
The initiative invited the Forester’s town small businesses to put a business plan together and explain how they would spend
$10,000 to make their business more environmentally sustainable.
Robert put a business plan together straight away as he saw an opportunity to finally work on some renovations and making
the Old Pub more modern and environmentally friendly.
The business plan had the following information.
History of the Old Pub, which described how the Old Pub was built, who owned it throughout the years and how long it has
been servicing the local community. Robert also explained how important the Old Pub is to the workers and the community
and how much it needs to stay open.
Description of the Old Pub’s current state, which included points such as:
 the Old Pub has old toilets and water taps that constantly leek losing water
 old lights throughout the establishment, which need replacing regularly and are expensive to run
 the water consumption from the kitchen and all the bathrooms is very high
 electricity bill is high as the Pub has old appliances – the fridge in the staff room is being repaired and has not been
replaced for years
 TV in the main area is still the old colour TV, which has been there since Robert purchased the Old Pub in 1998 and the
TV in the main games area is a Plasma (which has been bought a few years ago, has been repaired a few times and is
expensive to run)
 the Pub is very dark inside which meant that the lights must be on all day and night
 the staff are still using paper-based records
 the orders for the Old Pub’s kitchen are still being taken on dockets, by hand, and the waiters must run around looking for

Page 10 of 18
STUDENT ASSESSMENT

45855
the patrons who bought the meal (which is time consuming especially when the patrons move seats)
 the office is old, and the Pub has only one computer in the office so all documents are files in paper-based copies and
archived
Robert is encouraging recycling but there is no space for another bin so all that is recycled is glass
Descriptions of what the Pub’s future plans, in the next 2 years:
 reduce water consumption
 reduce electricity
 reduce paper usage in the pub
 increase light in the pub so that lights do not have to be on all the time
 introduce electronic ordering system to increase customer service and speed up the service process for the staff and
customers
 Increase recycling capacity and develop a process to more than glass bottles from the bar area
The business plan budget. The budget provided an overview of how Robert will match the $10,000, he would receive form the
Council, and add own $10,000 from the Old Pub’s budgets, making the overall investment refurbishment of the Old Pub a
$20,000 investment.
The overall business plan conclusion covered the needs of the locals and how the Pub would service the community better if it
had better and sustainable processes and items in place.
Yesterday Robert received a phone call from the Council and was invited to a presentation. He was informed that the local
Community representatives and the Council’s Environmental Committee voted his application as a success and Robert was
granted $10,000 to upgrade the Old Pub.
Robert will be presented with a $10,000 cheque by the Mayor.
The presentation will be held in the local Community hall next month. It will be a big event. Robert wants to start organising
for the changes so that he can use his acceptance speech to explain to the locals how he and his staff will work together to
make the local Pub more inviting, environmentally sustainable and modern. Something the town will be proud to call their
own.
Robert called for a special meeting and asked all staff to contribute ideas and research alternative items, resource or processes
to assist him with making the Old Pub more environmentally sustainable.
He asked staff to review the business plan list above, select 1 item or a process from the list, research, evaluate, price the item
or the new process and provide an action plan on how they would implement the new item or the process.
Scenario 1:
You assume the role or Robert for the rest of this assessment task.
3.1. Read the scenario and select one (3) areas that the Old Pub should improve. Record your selection
below. (Guide: 50+ words)
I believe that one way would be to make the staff aware of the importance of reducing electricity in the Old Pub.
The Old Pub has been using appliances that
I would also consider buying new, more environmentally friendly appliances instead of the old ones to avoid
excessive electricity consumption. In addition, all light bulbs should be replaced with LED bulbs.
3.2. Provide a brief overview on how the new items or process will benefit the Old Pub. (Guide: 20+ words)
It is important that the pub can change and use new appliances, which are more environmentally friendly, this
will help the Old Pub to reduce electricity consumption and electricity bills. In this way, the Old Pub will
become a more environmentally sustainable business.
3.3. Research environmentally sustainable products or processes that could be used at the pub and insert your
findings below or print the research and attach it to this assignment. (Guide: 4 bullet points)
LED bulbs: Led Bulbs save up to 90% energy compared to a traditional bulb with the same light output. LEDs do
not usually "burn out" or fail. Instead, the brightness of the LED dims slowly over time. slowly over time.
Televisions: The most energy efficient option is an LCD television under 42 inches. The larger they are the more
energy they consume. In addition, the Eco HD label is common on LCD TVs. Although TVs cannot be totally
ecofriendly, some designs and models are designed to reduce energy consumption.
Digitise records: Collecting digital data will help prevent any damage or loss that might occur with paper data. It
would also improve data accuracy and save the company time and costs.
Energy efficient windows: Windows can help reduce electricity consumption. However, there is much more than just

Page 11 of 18

providing light to the site. You need to choose a window that is perfectly suited to what you need. For example,
triple-glazed windows can help regulate the temperature in a place with intense direct sunlight. a place with intense
direct sunlight or extreme climates, etc.
3.4. Research two (2) environmental legislation relevant to the items and provide a brief overview on how
they relate to the Old Pub’s improvement needs. (Guide: 2 points 1 sentences each)
1.) Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000: energy efficient windows will use natural energy to light the room.
2.) Privacy Act 1988: Data collection can be a complicated and sensitive issue. Digital data, of course, would be
even more sensitive and complicated.
3.5. Now you must collaborate with your work colleagues (team members) and seek their feedback and
collect suggestions on how the Old Pub could improve workplace environmental sustainability practices
and processes. (Guide: select most suitable collaboration methods and techniques)
Complete the following points in this activity:
 Choose collaboration method and process and select team members to collaborate with (e.g. to use
email to consult with your team)
 Evaluate and assess items for environmental and WHS risks you consulted about
 Review if adapting these into the Old’s Pub’s work environment will improve or hinder
environmental suitability and work efficiency. Ensure that you are not selecting something that will
be worse for the environment, staff, customers or safety.
 Document feedback received which you will use to complete an action plan in the next activity.
If you are using emails you must copy and paste emails in the following space.
Feedback received Emails or comments from various colleagues in here.
Your own words from collaboration and collected feedback from the team overview in general.
Dear Staff
The Old Pub has been running for almost 7 decades thanks to your collaboration. Without all of you our pub could not have
come this far. Because the world today is changing from the one we knew and we must keep up with these changes, some
changes such as climate change, air pollution, waste, it is time we change to be more environmentally sustainable so that the
world and the Old Pub can last longer.
As we have been discussing what we should do to make the Old Pub more environmentally friendly, here are the details of
the conclusion:
1.) reduce water consumption: there is too much water consumption in the kitchen and bathroom. bathroom
2.) reduce electricity: there are old appliances, the lights are on all the time.
3.) reduce paper consumption in the pub: all data has been collected on paper.
4.) Increase the lighting in the pub so that the lights don't have to be on all the time. not enough window
5.) Introduce an electronic ordering system to increase customer service and speed up the service. for staff and customers:
staff have to take orders on paper, poor order management order management
6.) Increase recycling capacity and develop a process for more glass bottles from the bar. area: further increase recycling
As mentioned above, we are asking for your opinions and suggestions on how we should achieve the recycling of glass bottles.
Your opinions are always important to us. Here are some of your opinions and suggestions:
1.) Recycling knowledge: Although staff are knowledgeable about the topic, we should also organise a workshop to impart
recycling knowledge.
2.) Create a recycling corner: We should create a recycling corner and provide knowledge about recycling.
3.) Buy SMART appliances: the current market offers a lot of SMART appliances.
4.) Fixing the leaking: all the pipes and should be checked and fixed.
What we would gain from this improvement:

Page 12 of 18

1.) The Old Pub would become more environmental sustainability.

2.) Staffs would be working more efficient and more convenient.
3.) Customer would have better experiences.
This is the e-mail to inform you all of the conclusion of this improvement. Thank you for your hard
work for all these years.
