WASTE Name:_______________________________________________ A. What does my family produce? In this section, write down the top three areas where you noticed the most waste produced in your household (include quantitative data and units of current usage). Then, write the three areas where you think your family can realistically reduce waste (this may/may not overlap with most used). Highest Areas of Waste Production (e.g., soda cans) 1. Plastic 2. Other items 3. Food 1. 2. 3. Areas Family Could Realistically Reduce Use renewable bags recycle create less food waste by not wasting B. Put it in perspective: Using the data from your dimensional analysis, how much does your family waste in comparison to others in your state? The world? Our family produces less in comparison to others in the world and state. C. Systems thinking: Use your knowledge of systems to consider what happens to your family’s waste and why it is important to reduce your family’s waste production (be sure to cite your references!). Sources: Problems: creates greenhouse gases pollution, toxins in the environment EcoFootprint Task 1, Lesson 5: Where Resources Go (Death) and Waste Audit WASTE Name:_______________________________________________ Identifying Possible Solutions for You and Your Family Circle the solution from the list that you think will be the most realistic to propose to your family. Write down the impacts (that directly affect you and your family and also the community) of these solutions on the Venn diagrams below. Impacts of solutions will have both advantages and disadvantages across the three lenses. Direct impacts: Social/Cultural Community impacts: Social/Cultural get shame for producing too much waste get shame gets for shamed for producing get shamed for spending waste that too much spending too causes much money on pollution producing waste cost too much money that causes creates pollution and for trash, and spent too pollution greenhouse gases much producing waste spent too much money Economic Economic on creating Environmental Environmental pollution Connect these to data that is quantified over a period of time (fossil fuel example: reducing the gallons of gas used by 10 gallons per week will reduce CO2 emissions by 2,600 pounds per year).
