Prosperity
people
environment
cost
energy consumption
material consumption
natural resource consumption
healthier living
Personal
minimize personal use of
materials
recycle

Thinking about the Process
life cycle of the product
products its made up of
energy consumption in its lifetime
materials needed to make it
energy needed to make it
long run of human condition
environmental impacts
risks and uncertainty
technical effectiveness
environmental effectiveness
complete product
minimize effect on environment and maximize benefit to society and economy
Raise Awareness
Environment
such as
global warming
deforestation
ozone layer depletion
Decision making
benefits environment, society, economy
Carrying Capacity
resources we live off of, our impacts on resources
use of renewable resources v. nonrenewable resources
Equitablitiy
distribution of means of well being distributed
Earth
Hurmans
effieciency
nontechnical and technical effects
Energy source availability
environment condition
available resources
How
making the product
most positively benefits environment and oneself
environment and cost friendly
"green"
think of ways to prevent wastes
Process uses minimal energy and resources
Maximize mass, energy, space, and time efficiency
Output pulled rather than Input pushed
more durable product rather than a product with immorality
Renewable Energy
minimize diversity of material
