PowerPoint slides address the questions under consideration from a scientific perspective. You will be expected to cover the material with a researched scientific investigation into the environmental, economic, and health risks to living organisms through the speech you write. Your explanation should include the depth, breadth and application of the theory or topic under investigation. The speech will be written in the speaker's notes section of each corresponding PowerPoint slide. You will also incorporate limited text on the slides themselves, as well as graphics (and/or animations) to enhance the presentation.
APA formatting will be used for citations in the written work. Graphics also need to be cited. No answer may have more than 10% quoted material, so paraphrase the information instead to demonstrate your understanding.
A title slide needs to be included that contains an APA formatted scientific abstract in the speaker's notes section.
1. Calculate your ecological footprint again, incorporating changes you have made now that you have engaged in this course. Compare and contrast this to your ecological footprint from Seminar One. How has your taking the course and mastering the material caused your ecological footprint to change? What actions will you take after this class and what change will that make?
Average American has 9.0 global hectors of ecological footprint.
Global average of ecological footprint is 2.6 global hectors
My results, that is, 5.6 hectors lies between average American and global average. To sustain a lifestyle like I have, it would be needed to have 3.1 planets to provide the required sources. Also 5.6 hectors of productive area of earth would be needed in same context. The average American has 9.0 global hectors.
2. What three types of environmental actions are happening in and around your community, state or country?(Kuwait) What impact do they make (be specific)? Why are these important to your area? Are any of these activities specifically because of environmental laws? Should they be? Are you interested in getting involved in any of them?
3. What actions will you take to create three sustainable choices for your life (relate to home, job, or both)? Explain the impact the change will have. How do these sustainable choices relate to an increase in human population or development in your area?
4. What are the steps involved in developing environmental policy?
5. What areas of environmental policy (state and federal) will you focus on in your choices (home/work/recreational) and why? (Example:
what policy would you be able to use if you were installing solar power, or buying new energy star appliances?)
6. Create a conclusion that summarizes what you learned.
