Gain a better understanding of the connections among earth’s finite resources and the environmental, social, ethical, technical and economical impacts of your daily decisions with Moaveni’s ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, AND SUSTAINABILITY, 2nd Edition. As climate change has an increasing influence on today’s world, you learn how to evaluate energy and environmental footprints to make environmentally sound decisions and help preserve natural resources. Become more aware of your own energy consumption as you study how much energy is required to manufacture, transport, use and dispose of common products. A new chapter highlights evidence-based analysis and how this systematic approach to sustainability can lead to more reliable decisions. Relevant, everyday examples bring concepts to life, while hands-on problems give you experience in analyzing information, preparing reports and presentations and working within teams.
