This is the page for Unit 6, "Impacts of resource use." Please read through Hill chapter 5 carefully, as well as the Powerpoint presentation.

Impacts of resource use

Hill describes the linear throughput model, and considers various specific materials such as lead and copper. He considers the effects of waste on the environment, and different ways to measure it. The Powerpoint presentation discusses carbon footprints, and waste management, then domestic waste. It then ends with some specific information about US government regulations on waste.

Presentations

For this unit, the presentation begins as a supplement to the reading from Hill. It gives some details on US waste regulations that are not covered in the textbook. It then goes on to detail the effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide on climate change.
