SUSTAINABILITY
-
RENEWABLE ENERGY
SRP 2:
SOLAR ENERGY
could cut fuel bills by 60%, and give free hot water for six months
-
power from the sun, an inexhaustible resource
SRP 3:
BIOMASS BURNING
plant material and animal waste, the oldest source of renewable energy
lack of food crops such as rice and wheat, riots in Haiti because of this
-
SRP 1:

SRP 6:
-
low health impacts, little money to spend on health care

-
SRP 9:
Fishing industry is affected, warmer oceans changes the fishing industry
Cod industry is in danger, more suited to cold waters
SRP 7:
-
Ice melting, experts predict a 1 meter sea rise next century
CLIMATE CHANGE
SRP 10:
Thermal Expansion is when the ocean heats up and also expands, which can cause severe flooding and tsunamis
-
SRP 11:
-
when the ice caps melt, this leads to extinction of the polar bears
CLIMATE CHANGE is the overall change in temperature, rain, wind speed as a result of Global Warming
OPENING LINE: The sustainable use of resources means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations.
In Jan. 2014 the EU set targets to reduce GHG emissions to 40% of 1990 levels
