Embed sustainable practices in service operations

Hi, so my question is: write a short report on how ethical dilemmas for waste disposal affect education and care services.
What I have:
Ethical dilemmas for waste disposal affect education and care services because it can stop educators from implementing and fully understanding the importance for waste disposal and sustainability practices and how it affects the environment. Sustainability practices include the following topics:
-energy saving
-water conservation
-waste management
Buying Eco-friendly furniture and resources allows educators to dispose of it properly as the government provides recyclable waste bins. When purchasing environmentally friendly items it's important that it is clearly labeled with non-toxic and 100% recyclable.

I now have a new answer, it is:
Ethical dilemmas for waste disposal affect education and care services because they need to make ethical sustainable decisions that are best for the centre and environment at the same time. Some ethical dilemmas include:
1) out of date foods such as flour or pasta-would you just throw it away or would reuse it for activities such as pasta threading or making playdough.
2) use paper towels or use tea towels to dry your hands after washing, it's a dilemma because paper towels and napkins are not recyclable and are the last stop in the recycling chain but then tea towels hold a lot of bacteria as its moist and also use a lot of water and energy to wash them for reusing.
3) Disposable nappies or cloth nappies, it's a dilemma because it's easier to just throw the nappy into the bin but it's bad for the landfill and takes years to decompose and reusable nappies need to be washed and disinfected but repeated wash cycles use a lot of hot water and energy and you also need to implement infection control and storing procedures that take a lot of time.

How's my answer?
