TAKE NOTES—The Powerpoint notes are not comprehensive by themselves. You must write what I say also. If you need a recorder that is fine.

Study,study,study…flash cards, reading your book, write out concepts. Each week and when an exam comes along.

Focus on the Powerpoint notes. You text covers a lot of material this helps you narrow down material.

Sustainability, is the ability of earth’s various systems to survive and adapt to environmental conditions indefinitely.

The steps to sustainability must be supported by sound science.

Problems with relying on cleanup: Often removes a pollutant from one part of the

environment to cause problems in another. Pollutants at harmful levels can cost too much to

reduce them to acceptable levels.

Page 18: G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 16 th Edition Chapter 1 G. Tyler Miller’s Living in the Environment 16 th Edition Chapter 1 Angela Wranic Environmental.

Pollutants can have three types of unwanted effects: Can disrupt / degrade life-support systems. Can damage health and property. Can create nuisances such as noise and

unpleasant smells, tastes, and sights.

Ecological footprint concept Biological capacity Ecological footprint Average ecological footprint of an individual in

a given country is called per capita ecological footprint.

The WWF estimates human’s global ecological footprint exceeded the earth’s biological capacity by how much? 25%

U.S consumption would only support 1.3 billion people.

Companies do not pay the environmental cost of resource use

Goods and services do not include the harmful environmental costs

Companies receive tax breaks and subsidies

Economy may be stimulated but there may be a degradation of natural capital

Be able to discuss your answers with other groups or the class. It is more important that you be able to discuss rather than writing everything out perfectly. If you are not participating I will mark your grade down.

It is important to express your opinion. This does not mean attacking each other. Ask the question am I talking too much or too little.

You of course can disagree with my opinions. Usually everyone has a different view and that is OK.
