“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” UN -

4. Appropriate Technologies

5. Triple Bottom Line Technology
This idea proposes that an organisation's license to operate in society comes not just from satisfying stakeholders through improved profits (the economic bottom line), but by improving its environmental and social performance also
As such, it encompasses environmental responsibility, social awareness and economic profitability

6. Examples of Appropriate Technology
Hybrid Vehicles
The hybrid vehicle typically achieves greater fuel economy than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), such that fewer air pollution emissions are generated per kilometre travelled.
In addition noise emissions are reduced, particularly at idling and low operating speeds

7. Examples of Appropriate Technology
Wind-up torches
Based on the innovative idea from British inventor, Trevor Baylis. ‘The Clockwork Radio’ 1994
When you crank the handle, you run a small generator which charges an internal battery or capacitor. The battery or capacitor then provides power for your device.

8. Examples of Appropriate Technology
Solar cooking
Ovens that heat food using only sunlight
Since they use no fuel and they cost nothing to run
humanitarian organizations are promoting their use worldwide to help slow deforestation caused by the need for firewood used to cook

9. Solar Cooker Practical Task
Working in groups of 5/6 student (combination of graphics and food students). You are going to research design, and make a solar cooker, and finally test and evaluate its success at boiling water and cooking a savoury dish
You will be given a basic set of materials to start with, which you can adapt and develop

10. Solar Cooker Practical Task
You are to allocate roles within the group and delegate tasks. Recording, research, ideas, decisions, etc.
Use video and photography to record your work and create a visual diary of making, with notes and annotation (video, PowerPoint, sketchbook)
Solar Cooker

11. Solar Cooker Practical Task
Testing and evaluation
Boil water
Cook a savoury dish, e.g. Baked Potatoe, Curry, Chilli con Carne
