Choose a small consumer Item, one that costs less than $5, is used daily or weekly, and that most people have in their homes or offices
Last week we discussed human Deputation growth. This directly relates to the increased global consumption of goods. We use all kinds of disposable items throughout the day, week, or month and usually don’t think about their Impact on the environment. Your assignment is to:
- Choose a small consumer Item, one that costs less than $5, is used daily or weekly, and that most people have in their homes or offices.
- Once you select your consumer item, survey at least ten people around you (from various settings) (socially distant of course) and determine how often other people use this item and whether or not they recycle this item.
- Include in your response a rough calculation of the ecological footprint of this item based on your research. (i.e. how many of these items are going to landfills every year and what is the ramifications? Does your product have harmful components?) Worry less about an exact number and more about the quality of your information and your discussion
