In class today we did the following:
1. Dr H reminded everyone about Deliverable #1 of the GC Savvy Consumer Term Project
Deliverable #1 is to select the type of product you will investigate & submit the info in D2L before midnight (11:50 pm) next TUE Nov 10th (worth 3 pts)
She also gave some :IMPORTANT GUIDELINES on the
GC SAVVY COMSUMER PROJECT:
Purpose of the assignment is to link the GLOBAL CHANGE TOPICS OF THIS CLASS
with your everyday life
– so your consumer product research / selection criteria MUST have a
direct link to at least ONE of our CLASS TOPICS! e.g.:
-Ecological Footprint / Carbon Footprint (food
choices/ vegetarian diet, transport vs. local food)
- Electromagnetic Spectrum & harmful UV radiation, ozone depletion issues
- The balance between auto crashworthiness (Laws of Motion) and fuel
economy (GH Gas Emissions)
- Energy Efficiency ( solar, electronics w/ energy Star ratings) -
Deforestation / Sustainability (paper products, recycling, etc.)
2. Dr H then gave the a presentation on
Topic #14 Ozone Depletion in the Stratosphere
