Three Pillars of Sustainability
Socially desirable: Do people like it?
Economically feasible: Will is make money?
Ecologically viable: Is it good for the environment?

What were the weapons found on Easter Island used for?5. Describe how the carving of statues correlates to the rise in the number of

island?10. What impact will humans have on the trees if they consume too many birds as
food?11. Why will removal of trees damage the soil of an oceanic island, like Easter Island?12. As Easter Island's agriculture began to collapse, why were social tensions on the
rise? What was the result?13. What was the basis for the economy of ancient Easter Island?
