"Aquaponics" by Nate
Aquaponics is something that is very new, so people are very willing to give information out about this in order to get the word around. There are very detailed ones, which cost a lot. And there are some not as high tech, but still works. We have to start somewhere. With hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics try not to incorporate any soil into the whole process.
"Horse Farming" by Breana
She wants to get rid of the rubber and plastics in the beddings of the typical barn dwellings for horses. There are natural materials, but they have to be able to handle the weight and activities of the horses. She thinks she may be stuck, but it seems just maybe a different line of thinking. Maybe about how to create better living situations for horses, instead of just making a recyclable bedding that makes them stay in their stall longer.
So the world population we have reached 7 billion. In 1804 we hit 1 billion, and over the following 200 years after that we went up 6 billion. By 2100, we are expected to top out at 10 billion people. But what will be the deciding factor on that?
For my final presentation need to do the 5 steps to eco-effectiveness provided in Cradle to Cradle Chapter 6.
1. Get "free of" known culprits (p 166)
2. Follow informed personal preferences (p 168)
3. Creating a "passive positive" list (p 173)
4. Activate the positive list (p 177)
5. Reinvent (p 178)
Include also the Material Life Cycle and the Life Cycle Cost portion.
1. Material resourcing availability and location
2. Material harvesting
3. Manufacturing process
4. Material, energy, and transport
5. Material in use
6. Material disposal
