ECON 340/ENVA 300: Consumer diary - continued

Starting today, Tuesday, choose one of the areas from your earlier diary in which you might consider reducing your environmental impacts.

Keep a diary through next Monday for this single consumption item.

For Tuesday, Feb. 19, hand in a writeup which includes:

1. Your original consumption diary.
2. Your second diary for just a single item.
3. A calulation of your environmental impact for this single item "before" and "after" you considered the specific impacts of this consumption, using a single impact measure (e.g. water pollution.) Use Table A.5 .
4. An estimate of what proportional change in your total environmental impact you were able to make. (Use Table A-4, and the same impact category as earlier -- e.g. water pollution.)

I will also have you present, using the chalk board, your "before" and "after" calculation in class on either Feb. 19 or Feb. 21. Your presentation day will be scheduled on a signup sheet in class.
