My Concept Map
The dystopian landscape from producing my item
3) write a paragraph describing some of the worst-case environmental or social injustices discovered when researching the processes/practices in creating your product that informed your dystopian landscape
4) please describe 24 innovations that would make the production of your item more sustainable (improve water, energy, labor, materials, climate change etc, using the EcoDesign Strategy Wheel): PART 3
5) write a brief statement reflecting on the estimated market price of the item and the life cycle cost of your item. Now that you have explored all the people, places, landscapes and ecosystems involved in making your 1 item, do you think the PRICE of your item, matches the true COST to produce it?
- Definition of PRICE: the amount of money expected, required, or given in payment for something; the price the consumer pays to purchase the item.
- Definition of COST: monetary valuation of (1) effort, (2) material, (3) resources, (4) time and utilities consumed, (5) risks incurred, and (6) compliance with labor and environmental regulations
6) combine items 1-5 into a single pdf document, upload to your learning portfolio, and paste the url for your post here on Canvas.
Come to class and be prepared to share your best innovation idea for improving your produce and your thoughts on the true COST of your object if one internalized all the EXTERNALITIES associated with producing your item.
- Definition of EXTERNALITY: a side effect or consequence of an industrial or commercial activity that affects other parties without this being reflected in the cost of the goods or services involved
