The document discusses the positive and negative impacts of human intervention in the rainforest. Some positive impacts include improved transportation infrastructure, profits from raw materials and farming. However, new roads, land clearance, and deforestation can cause flooding, loss of animal habitats, and fertile soils being washed away. Sustainable practices like shifting cultivation are presented as better alternatives to standard deforestation. The homework involves creating a brochure that outlines two sustainable options for utilizing the rainforest without destroying it.

Week 2 Discussion 1 One-Time Tax Rate Real estate magnate Donald Trump once proposed a one-time tax of 14.25 percent on the net wealth of every American with more than $10 million. Would this be an efficient way to raise tax revenue? Why or why not? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Week 2 Discussion 2 Social Services Initiatives Should the Federal Government increase social services initiatives to improve the quality of life issues for the less fortunate ones.

ECON 200: Sustainable Living Research Paper Sustainability: The ability to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. From a macroeconomic perspective (more global, large-scale) evaluate a large national or international entity (business, not-for-profit, or government agency) applying: Two of the strategies of Natural Capitalism (see below ) These strategies provide a broad context for evaluating a national or international entity on the path to sustainability. Focus on two (2) of these principles. Don’t apply a principle if it doesn’t work! Analyze the effectiveness of the entity in light of these two principles. Cite actions that the entity has taken that have altered its environmental impact, carbon footprint or some other measure. Make recommendations that believe could make a further difference in their overall sustainability. Strategies of Natural Capitalism : 1. Radical resource productivity 2. Biomimicry ( Watch Ted.com Janine Benyus video for context) 3. Service and flow 4. Investing in natural capital (These four principles are introduced on pp. 10-20 of Hawken and Lovins. Natural Capitalism.) Three sustainable living outcomes that you MUST address in your paper: 1. Articulate practical solutions to social, environmental, and economic issues. (How is your entity accomplishing this?) This has also been expressed as the 3P’s: people, planet, profit and the triple bottom line: corporate social responsibility, environmental sustainability, traditional financial bottom Line) This outcome could be easily tied to the Strategies of Natural Capitalism above. 2. Employ knowledge of sustainability and technology to articulate practical solutions to real-world sustainability challenges. (Focus on a couple of your company’s challenges) 3. Analyze social, economic, technological, and environmental systems and reason holistically. Holistic: relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts In addition, answer this question : How would a society develop a sustainable economic system? (The current global economy is not sustainable. What are some elements that if introduced to a society would enable the creation of a sustainable economic system. How could a single company through its efforts impact the economic system in which it operates? This requires critical thinking and creativity on your part.
