CTF Presentation on Oil and Metal Depletion Amy Purkey, Nancy Stirn, Mike Anthony, Aaron Darlington, David Patch
2
Total Material Requirement (TMR) in the 1997 report Japan's TMR = 45 tons per person per year Germany, Holland, United States TMR = 80 tons per person per year.
3
Depletion of Natural Resources? What is “Resource Depletion?” Should we be concern?

Three Main Types of Fossil Fuels Coal Oil Natural Gas

For every barrel we produce, we use three 84 million barrels of oil are used in a day, 30 billion per year 69% of all petroleum in 1999 was used for transportation
12
Oil Production Peak Production Peak: a country produces the most oil it can produce in a year and then production declines from then on 50 Countries have passed their oil production peak USA-1970 Indonesia- 1977 Russia-1987 UK-1999
13
Prices will increase: One cent increase in price per gallon of diesel fuel equals a $350,000,000 increase in costs per year for the trucking industry Products made from Oil: Telephones, crayons, deodorant, rubbing alcohol, carpets, hearing aids, ammonia, eyeglasses, lifejackets, toothpaste, sports car bodies, aspirin, linoleum, boats, etc.

The EBI Energy and Biodiversity Initiative
17
What is the EBI? The EBI is a partnership of four energy companies and five conservation organizations. Recently, the EBI came out with a collaborative report that, among other things, details how the energy industry can work together with society to create a better future.
18
Benefits of maintaining biodiversity in the energy industry: Biodiversity is fundamental to human wellfare and economic development by maintaining the ecological processes upon which our survival depends. Broad-scale ecological systems provide services such as clean air and fresh water. Direct benefits from biodiversity come from the supply of goods or products - such as food, timber, clothing materials, and medicine. Everyone depends on biodiversity, but the poorest people (especially the rural poor) most directly depend on the products of a healthy ecosystem. Having a healthy ecosystem while sustaining advances in the energy industry, therefore, benefits the poor as well as the wealthy.
19
“Biodiversity is the human species’ most valuable but least appreciated resource. The perilous future facing nature is of our own making. But the solution is also within our grasp. Progress towards global conservation will pick up or falter depending on cooperation among government, science and technology, and the private sector.” -Edward O. Wilson, Ph. D. Pellegrino University Research Professor, Harvard University

Industrial Smart Building Practices Aluminum holds twice as much as steel Green Building Practices “Deconstruction” instead of “Demolition” 22% of waste stream from demolition materials
21
RECYCLE Steel 60% less energy to make steel from recycled materials than from iron ore Easily sorted from other materials Can be recycled over and over without losing quality or strength
22
RECYCLE Aluminum Recycling four aluminum cans saves as much as energy as the energy in one cup of gas 54 billion cans recycled in 2003, saved the energy equivalent of 15 million barrels of oil Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run your TV for three hours Can be recycled over and over without losing quality and strength
