Energy, nutrient cycling, and product design
Since the industrial revolution (mid to late 1800s) products have been designed for a “cradle to grave” life cycle
Meaning the products are made then once something else comes along we throw it out.
People choose to promote ecological effectiveness”- a “cradle to cradle” process
Use it and then reuse it somehow instead of throwing it away.
Eco-effectiveness
Create buildings, like trees, that produce more energy than it uses
Make products that decomposes easily
Paper is a good one
Plastic is bad
Lab
Gasoline
540, 545, 598, 988 (gal/person/year)
Used for driving, mowing, farm use, etc.
Reduce by carpooling, walking, biking, public transport, use hybrid car, decreased use of hobbies
Water
790, 524, 612, 700, 546, 200 gal/person/year
Drinking, showering, toilets, cleaning, laundry, cooking, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc.
Shorten showers, water saving techniques, low volume high pressure, drip watering, proper settings on washers, wash car in rain, use gray water for somethings.
