Wind and solar energy are examples of this type of resource.
Inexhaustible
If a village that is dependent on fishing for economical prosperity harvests less fish than can be replenished they are operating below this.
Sustainable yield
These are the three (3) types of natural resources.
Inexhaustible, renewable, nonrenewable
With limited supplies within Earth that cannot be restored once used, natural gas is known as this type of resource
nonrenewable
Natural Capital is the combination of these two (2) factors that support and sustain life
natural resources and ecosystem services
These are the three (3) revolutions that have taken place throughout human history that have increased our ecological footprint
Agricultural, industrial-medical, and information-globalization
This is when the environment is contaminated by human actions that result in chemical or other agents harming life on Earth
Pollution
Affluence can be described as this.
Having great wealth or money.
Operating at a rate that withdraws resources and services at the same rate they are replenished is known as this.
sustainable yield
If a resource can be replenished through natural processes it is known as this type of resource
renewable
This is the model that scientists use to calculate how long it will take for a population to double.
IPAT
Waste treatment, food production, and water purification are all examples of this.
Ecosystem services
These are the three types of worldviews considered in environmental science
Human centered, life-centered, Earth centered
The First Earth day was held on this date
April 20, 1970
The amount of land and water needed to supply a population or geographic area with renewable resources, as well as the ability to absorb/recycle wastes and pollution produced by resource usage is known as this
Ecological Footprint
Teddy Roosevelt's and Gifford Pinchot's conservational school of thought was anchored in the idea that people should do this.
manage public land wisely and scientifically, to provide resources for people.
This is the primary reason why affluence has a harmful effect on the environmental impact of a population?
per capita resource consumption increases as a nations wealth increases
John Muir's stance on preservation relied on humans doing this to wilderness areas
leaving the wild wild, preserving the wilderness as untouched lands.
The idea that all species have value in fulfilling their ecological roles, regardless of their potential or actual use to society, represents this worldview.
life centered
These are the two (2) ways that humans degrade natural capital
exceeding sustainable yield, degrading resources and systems with pollution
Deriving from major natural factors that have played key roles in the long-term sustainability of life on the earth, these are the three (3) scientific principles of sustainability.
dependence on solar energy, biodiversity, and chemical cycling
When a nation's ecological footprint is greater than its biocapacity the country's populations is
EX: Consuming a high quantity of natural resources per person
The ability for humans to utilize Earth's resources and systems for prosperity and economic gain is known as this.
Natural Capital
Involving the costs of environmental damages, pollution, and ecological footprints into the cost of goods and services is known as this.
Full-Cost pricing
This is the term used to describe the rationalization that the small individual contribution to resource use or pollution does not matter on a larger scale?
Tragedy of the Commons
