1 Zero Waste…is it possible? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1n3Fb5FqyU&feature=re sults_video&playnext=1&list=PLB1CE7BCBBED3DA4B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1n3Fb5FqyU&feature=re sults_video&playnext=1&list=PLB1CE7BCBBED3DA4B

2 CAN YOU PLAN A ZERO WASTE PARTY?? You have 10 minutes now; 10 minutes tomorrow to get started….

3 What is a Natural Resource? Natural resources are materials and components (something that can be used) that can be found within the environment

4 Man-made products are composed of natural resources Can you figure out what your products are made of? MaterialsRenew able Nonrenew able Disposal Poll Experiment?

6 How do we communicate a message? http://www.storyofstuff.org/mo vies-all/story-of-stuff/ http://www.storyofstuff.org/mo vies-all/story-of-stuff/

7 Life Cycles Revisit your Resource Throughput diagram How can you make it sustainable? Can you make it a circle?

8 EXIT SLIP 3…2…1 Write 3 facts you learned today Write 2 questions that still remain Write 1 thing you can do today to reduce consumption

9 What did you learn? When you burn trash in an incinerator it makes super toxins like dioxin Pillow are made with neurotoxins Currently operate on linear pathway, but should have a circular pathway Kids in Africa leave school so they can mine and farm People are a factor in the linear pathway Take natural resources from other countries Golden arrow is consumers buying products and is what pathway depends on External costs are not included in prices She’s very boring

10 Resources & Reserves

11 Resources ≠ Reserves Resources – amounts of material that are known/ assumed to exist that can be extracted NOW or in the FUTURE for a POSSIBLE profit $ Reserves – known amounts of material that can PRESENTLY be extracted for a PROFIT – “proven” Do Worksheet Problem #1, #2, #3

12 The lifetime of a resource depends on… 1.How much we have 2.How fast we use it

14 What reserves does the US have? Fossil fuels = – Oil – Coal – Natural Gas Why are we depleting our reserves (running out)? – http://www.npr.org/news/specials/climate/video/ http://www.npr.org/news/specials/climate/video/

15 Changing estimates Why do reserves of resources usually last much longer than most early estimates predict? How does technology, economics, and politics influence the estimates of reserves and resources? YearProven Reserves (billion barrels) 200623 200922.3 201025.2

16 Resource Depletion static, exponential, real world
