allowing future generations to meet their needs

Reduce

environment and societal concerns

Prosperity

people

environment

cost

energy consumption

material consumption

natural resource consumption

healthier living

Personal

minimize personal use of

materials

recycle

materials

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
