Model essay on graduation thesis of green logistics
The Rise of Modern Green Logistics Management At present, a "green wave" is rising all over the world. "Green food", "green symbol", "green industry", "green marketing", "green consumption" and so on, all kinds of nouns labeled "green" have sprung up, which makes people dizzying. In people's minds, green represents hope and green symbolizes life. More and more people realize that their living environment is being destroyed and polluted. People are eager to return to the beautiful life of sky blue, green land and clear water. As a result, people launched a series of green movements in pursuit of "harmony between man and nature", which are infiltrating into all aspects. Modern green logistics management is one of them. Modern green logistics management refers to the effective and rapid flow of green goods and services, in order to achieve customer satisfaction, connect the green supply subject and the green demand object, and overcome the obstacles of space and time. Modern green logistics management improves the logistics system from the perspective of environment and forms a green logistics management system. This logistics management system is based on maintaining the global environment and sustainable development, changing the original one-way relationship between economic development and logistics, consumer life and logistics, and forming a logistics system that can not only promote the healthy development of economy and consumer life, but also inhibit the harm of logistics to the environment. Therefore, modern green logistics management emphasizes the overall and long-term interests, emphasizes the all-round concern for the environment, and embodies the green image of enterprises, which is the new trend of logistics management. Like other green movements, the theoretical basis of modern green logistics management has its theoretical support, and so does green logistics management. 1, the theory of sustainable development. The theory of sustainable development refers to meeting the needs of contemporary people without endangering the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The basic contents of sustainable development include the following five points: (1) development is the key point; (2) organic combination of economic development and environmental protection; (3) Establish a reasonable and effective economic and political operation mechanism; (4) People's own development needs to adapt to the development of resources and environment, and people should give up the traditional mode of production and lifestyle; (5) Establish a brand-new concept of modern culture. Because the logistics process will inevitably consume energy and resources, resulting in environmental pollution, therefore, in order to achieve long-term and sustainable development, we must take various measures to maintain our natural environment. Based on the theory of sustainable development, modern green logistics management forms a complementary relationship between logistics and environment, thus promoting the development of modern logistics and realizing the symbiosis between environment and logistics. 2. Ecological economics theory. The so-called ecological economics refers to the study of the logistics cycle, energy transformation and value proliferation of economic systems and ecosystems in the process of reproduction and their application. Logistics is an important link in the process of social reproduction. In the process of logistics, there are not only material recovery and energy conversion, but also value transfer and value realization. Therefore, logistics involves two systems: economy and ecological environment, which naturally bridges the economic benefits and ecological environment benefits. Economic benefits involve current and local interests that are more closely related, while environmental benefits involve more macro and longer-term interests. Economic benefits and environmental benefits are the unity of opposites. The latter is the natural basis and material source of the former, and the former is the economic manifestation of the latter. However, the traditional logistics management does not handle the relationship between them well, overemphasizing economic benefits and ignoring environmental benefits, which leads to the decline of overall social benefits. The emergence of modern green logistics management has solved this problem well. Guided by the general principles of economics and based on ecology, green logistics studies the relationship between logistics and economic behavior, economic relations and laws in the ecosystem, in order to seek the best combination and coordinated development of ecology and economy under the conditions of ecological balance, reasonable economy and advanced technology. 3. Ecological ethics theory. The ecological crisis faced by mankind forces people to reflect on their own behavior and bear human moral responsibility for the ecological environment. This has promoted the emergence and development of ecological ethics. Ecological ethics is an interdisciplinary subject that studies the relationship between man and nature from a moral point of view. According to the law of interaction between man and nature put forward by ecology, it takes morality as a means to coordinate the overall relationship between man and natural environment. Ecological ethics forces people to deeply reflect on the environmental problems in logistics, thus generating a strong sense of responsibility and obligation. For the immediate interests of future generations and for the healthier and safer survival and development of human beings, human beings should maintain ecological balance. This is our unshirkable responsibility, and it is human's obligation and right to nature. Modern green logistics management has obtained the moral support of ecological ethics. Analysis of Non-green Factors Affecting the Environment in Modern Logistics Management In order to carry out modern green logistics management, we must master the composition of modern logistics activities. Modern logistics activities consist of six elements, namely, the transportation of materials and commodities in space movement, the storage of time movement, distribution and processing, packaging, loading and unloading and information. According to the theoretical basis of modern green logistics management, this paper analyzes every element of modern logistics activities, finds out the non-green factors that affect the environment, and provides a breakthrough point for modern logistics management. 1. The impact of traffic on the environment. Transportation is a logistics activity that makes the place and space of goods move. Non-green factors in the transportation process are mainly manifested in three aspects. On the one hand, it is a lot of energy consumption, air pollution and noise pollution of vehicles. At present, the operation of most vehicles needs to consume fuel (gasoline), which is too much and is not conducive to sustainable development. Moreover, vehicles emit a lot of harmful gases, causing noise pollution, endangering the healthy development of human beings and reducing environmental benefits. On the other hand, a large number of circulation leads to the increase of road demand area, and road construction is a destruction of ecological balance. The exhaust gas emitted by vehicles destroys the healthy survival of plants around the road and intensifies the ecological balance. Finally, the delivered goods may also cause damage to the environment. For example, a ship carrying crude oil leaked, which caused seawater pollution and killed marine animals and plants. 2, the impact of warehousing on the environment warehousing has the meaning of commodity warehousing management, and the main facility of warehousing is the warehouse. There are two main non-green factors in the storage process. First, the commodity storage center must be maintained. Some chemical methods, such as spraying pesticides, will pollute the surrounding ecological environment. On the other hand, some commodities, such as inflammable, explosive and dangerous chemicals, will also pollute and destroy the surrounding environment due to improper storage. 3. The impact of distribution processing on the environment. Distribution processing is processed for preservation in the circulation stage, or for the transformation of the same functional form. Distribution processing's work is one of the important means to improve the added value of commodities and promote the differentiation of commodities, and its importance is increasing day by day. Distribution processing also has non-green influence factors on the environment, which is manifested in the waste or excessive consumption of resources in processing, and the waste gas, waste water and waste produced by processing are harmful to the environment and human body. 4, the impact of packaging on the environment. Packaging is a logistics activity to ensure the value and form of goods during transportation or storage. Non-green factors in the packaging process are mainly manifested in two aspects. On the one hand, the environmental pollution of packaging materials. Such as white plastic pollution, this kind of material is not easy to degrade in nature and has a long residence time. On the other hand, excessive packaging or repeated packaging will waste resources, which is not conducive to sustainable development and ecological and economic benefits. 5. Impact of loading and unloading on the environment. Loading and unloading is carried out across transportation and logistics facilities, before and after transportation, storage and packaging. Non-green factors in the process of loading and unloading include: improper loading and unloading, damage to the commodity itself, resulting in waste and abandonment of resources, and waste may also cause environmental pollution, such as the leakage of chemical liquid commodities, resulting in water pollution and soil pollution, which are also uneconomical and not conducive to environmental protection. 6. The impact of information on the environment. Information activity is to collect information related to logistics activities, so that logistics activities can be carried out effectively and smoothly. Information flow has little or no direct damage to the environment.
