4. Sustainable Measures Driving Force/State/Response  Driving force (pressure, source) - activity that is causing a certain state or condition to exist  State (condition) - the condition that exists  Response (strategy, activities) - what is being done about it

5. State (condition or status) Response (strategy or action) Driving Force (pressure or cause)

6. Driving Force State Response Number of vehicle miles driven NOx concentration in mg/m 3 Percent inspected cars with high NOx emissions Number of single use/disposable goods purchased Acres of land for waste disposal/ landfill. Tons municipal solid waste recycled. Percent of watershed that is impervious Level of metals and organics in water supply reservoirs Number of storm water permits issued Pounds of toxics used Contaminant level of shellfish Number of shellfish beds closed
