Globalization
And
Sustainability
To What Extent Does Globalization Affect Sustainability?
What Does Sustainability Mean?
Read page 259 and record your
responses to the seven
questions in your notebook
Sustainability:
To keep in
existence,
to supply with
necessities or
nourishment
Your text book refers to an
Ecological Footprint. The “new”
buzz word is Carbon Footprint.
What is a carbon footprint?
It is the measure of impact human
activities have on the environment
in terms of the amount of
greenhouse gases produced.
Measured in units of carbon
dioxide.
The challenge is to reduce your carbon footprint!
Ecological Footprints
With a partner, read and review pages 260 – 263
Answer the following in your notes:
Explain why there is such a huge inconsistency between the Ecological
Footprint in Canada and that of Bangladesh.
ALSO
With a partner complete the “Reflect and Respond”
Have a list of your refuse items to share with the class
How does your list compare?
Ten things to do to reduce your footprint
Change a light
Changing one regular light
bulb with a compact fluorescent
light bulb will save 150 pounds of
carbon dioxide a year
RECYCLE MORE
You can save 2,400 pounds
of carbon dioxide per year
by recycling just half of your
household waste
Drive less
Walk, bike, carpool or
take public transit.
You’ll save one pound of
carbon dioxide for every
kilometre you don’t drive
USE LESS HOT WATER
It takes a lot of energy to heat
water. Use less hot water by
installing a low flow showerhead.
This saves 350 pounds of carbon
dioxide a year. Washing your clothes
in cold or warm water saves 500 pounds
per year
Check your tires
Keeping your tires inflated
properly can improve your
gas mileage by more than
3%. Every litre of gasoline
saved keeps 20 pounds of
carbon dioxide out of the
atmosphere
AVOID PRODUCTS WITH LOTS OF PACKAGING
You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut your garbage by 10%
ADJUST YOUR THERMOSTAT
Moving your thermostat down 2 degrees in
winter and up 2 degrees in the summer you
could save more than 2,000 pounds of
carbon dioxide a year.
PLANT A TREE
TURN OFF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Simply turning off your television,
DVD player, stereo and computer
when you’re not using them will
save thousands of pounds of
carbon dioxide a year
USE PRINTER PAPER THAT IS 100% RECYCLED
Save 5 kilograms of carbon dioxide per ream of paper. The paper industry
is the third greatest contributor to global warming emissions
A single tree will absorb
1 ton of carbon dioxide
over a lifetime
