Per capita daily oil consumption: US (~3 gals) China (0.25 gals) India (0.11 gals) Nearly 50% of US electricity comes from coal Coal is abundant and cheap, but dirty Industrial sector consumes 94% of all electricity produced. CO2 levels have risen over time and correlate to the industrial revolution US production/consumption vs. China Make predictions related to sustainability based population growth models

Mining and Refining Bauxite for Aluminum Luis Castaneda/Getty Images An aerial view of a bauxite mine and alumina processing plant in Australia.

Students: Calculate the energy to create a single aluminum can: Electrolysis = 200 kilojoules per can = kW hr per can Compare their result to the energy to recycle a can: Recycling = 13 kilojoules per can = kW hr per can Electrolysis uses 15 times more energy than recycling Discuss that the calculation does not include the energy to mine and transport the bauxite (total energy is ~3000 kilojoules per can) Recycling is 99% more efficient than mining and isolating Aluminum from bauxite.

Student Needs Life skills: reading bills & saving money Writing paragraphs Grammar: future tense Improved English Class Objectives Vocabulary development Grammar: comma use, conditionals (if…, then…) Stating opinions Improved reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar & computer skills Sustainability Unit

Sustainability Activities: Reading Skills & Vocabulary Development Grammar Practice Writing Computer Lab Speaking & Listening Life Skills Which is better for: Health? Finances? Environment?

Free Trade Around 80% is bought by 3 large global corporations For every $1 you pay, 15 cents goes to the growers Fair Trade 50 cents to country of origin to help establish sustainable practices Benefits: decrease in poverty rate, better schools and health care

Teaching Goal Incorporate sustainability across all my classes based on the assumption that sustainability is something more than environmental improvement...it is a new paradigm shift. People, Planet and Economics are equally important components of sustainability.
