Warm-Up 05AUG2015 Climate change is the biggest issue to effect the human species. List all the things you know about climate change? What time frame are we looking at to see the impact of climate change on our daily lives?

Logistics Warm-ups are worth 10 points, every 2 weeks Please read the Economics reading in it’s entirety by Wednesday (8/12) next week Please complete the summer assignment (over the summer…) You will be getting more assignments – Get Ready

What values influence your behavior? OR Warm-Up 06AUG2015 What values influence your behavior? OR What values do you demonstrate when you make certain choices? Examples? Agenda: “Food for thought” discussion The Lorax Time to work on the Lorax Questions

Logistics If I was to have the WiFi password could you do research on your phones? Schedule of due dates posted outside the door. National Pass Rates

Food for thought… Do your values align with your parents?

Food for thought… What values exist in our economic system? HOW do you know this?

What does it mean to act within an ethical code?

What happens when the ethical code conflicts with the “accepted norms” for behavior?

While we watch the Lorax, think ponder what the characters are valuing and how their behavior reflects that. Who (or what values/concepts) in real life might the characters represent?

Warm-Up 07AUG2015 Who did the lorax and the once-ler represent? What did the truffula tree repesent?

Economics  Ecology Economic systems are rooted in AND limited by ecological systems Biotic + Abiotic = Ecologic System

Economic System in a picture… (Capitalism) Goods and Services Social Values (laws) Natural Resources

Economic System social institution through which goods are produced, distributed and consumed to satisfy people’s needs and wants, EFFICIENTLY

Economic System in a picture… Goods and Services Social Values (laws) Natural Resources

Types of capital Natural capital: earth’s natural processes Human capital: people’s physical and mental talents Manufactured: machinery, equipment, factories

Think natural + human capital + manufactured capital = tradable goods and services

Think natural + human capital + manufactured = tradable goods and services

Economic system in a picture… Social Values (laws, trade systems, regulations) Goods and Services Natural Resources

“Free Market” economy interaction of DEMAND and SUPPLY and PRICE economists believe that an economic system based on private ownership without government interference is the best way to solve problems In this system companies that produce goods and services are driven by consumer choice.

Supply and demand curves intersect at market price equilibrium point

Economic system in a picture… Social Values (laws, trade systems, regulations) Goods and Services Natural Resources

How many ways can this have “value”?

High throughput economics Continued increase of flow of materials and resources is needed to continue economic growth Waste ends up in planetary sinks (air, soil, water, organisms) Draw on board (pg 634)

The worth of anything (natural, human, and manufactured goods) is based solely on its ability to be traded on a market. Open-access resources, like air, the ocean, forests, freshwater, are available to all are not traded on the market. These have NO value in any state of existence (good or bad) therefore there is no incentive besides government regulation to promote good behavior = MARKET FAILURE

Governments intervene to correct market failures………… national security education economic safety net civil and property rights worker health protect natural capital manage public land resources

Neoclassical Economics Marshall and Friedman (Chicago school of Economics) Assume that growth is unlimited and that growth is essential to maintain a growing economy Natural capital can be replaced with substitutes Issues with these assumptions?

“Biggering, biggering, and biggering” (economic growth is unlimited)

What does Dr. MLK Jr. mean?

Ecological economists Herman Daly and Robert Costanza resources limited, no waste encourage environmentally beneficial and sustainable forms of economic development harmful environmental and health effects of production of goods should be included in price (full cost pricing Issues with these assumptions?

Non – use value of natural resources/ ecological services Existence value Aesthetic value Bequest or opinion value

Strategies to fulfill goals… Monitor economic and environmental health /enforce laws

Cost Benefit analysis use uniform standards clearly state all assumptions used include estimates of ecological services estimate long-term/short benefits and costs summarize range of estimated costs and benefits

Strategies to fulfill goals… Eco-labeling and certification Phase in subsidies/tax breaks for environmentally beneficial goals Tax shifting (pollution and waste Instead of income taxes)

Full-Cost Pricing Market Price/ Direct Price does not include the Indirect or External costs of harm to environment or human health (hidden cost) Ex. failure to include climate change in the prices of fossil fuels
