This powerpoint is an interactive game show along with a descriptive slide show of biodegradable plastics.

1. What is sustainability…? … Humans living in harmony with the planet by optimizing well being without negative impacts. … long lasting and cyclical.

2. Sustainability Game show with Bob Barker and Jenna Thompson What is the following image and how does it relate to sustainability? Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill 2010 Damages ecosystems, economic systems, highlights our dependence on fossil fuels… The Environment is Right!

3. Sustainability Game show with Bob Barker and Jenna Thompson What is potable water? Where does Memphis get its drinking water?

Landscaping, toilet flushing, janitorial, process water from building systems. Water that is considered “fit to drink” by federal, state, and local municipalities. Memphis Sands Aquifer The Environment is Right!
