Taking one resource as an example, illustrate how resource use and the extraction process of the resource affects the environment (e.g., forests, tar sands, coal, uranium, potash). |
(e) |
Give examples of policies and actions that contribute to sustainability (e.g., water conservation, informed decisions by consumers, reusing materials). |
