sustainability

Question 1

Circular economy-principles

Answer 1

Connected systems- waste products of one natural process is the raw material of another
design of extended use- longer life products-less waste
Energy from renewable resources-solar
separation of biological and technical materials-they require different reprocessing techniques
human activities supports ecosystems-it is important human activities don’t damage them
diverse systems are more res. to change-if a change occurs it is likely to be relatively less important-less impact

ecological footpprints

Question 7

biologicla technology

Answer 7

cotton food textiles
designed correctly would go back to the soil-intervened inn natuyreal cycle -ellen macurthur -apeel-uses circular economy -biodegradable clothing-reduces plastic packaging

Question 8

earth overshoot day

Answer 8

describes exploitation rate of planets resources-gets earlier each year-takes longer to recoiver resources that have exploited
