Using an ecological framework briefly outline some important current physical conditions and trends in place. Please reference the following: [air, water, soil, non-human biota, human population, overshoot, mineral resources, artifact] (~200 words)
* 1. Explain how each element of the ecological framework we present in this course is related to the others. Use all of the following terms: humans, numbers, info (gene, experience, culture, non-culture), environment, resource, hazard, lock and key.
* 2. Give a few specific examples of resource and hazard trends.
* 3. What are some of the "peaks" to which we refer with the phrase "peak everything"?
* 4. What do we mean and understand by ERoEI and RRoRI as we use these terms in valuescience?
* 5. What was putative ERoEI for oil extraction in the early 20th century and what is it for tar sands and oil shale c. 2016? (two ratios)
* 6. Have we identified proven energy resources accessible with current technology which have ERoEI comparable to oil in the early 20th century?
* 7. List one or more challenges inherent to calculating and comparing ERoEI?
* 8. What is the minimum ERoEI estimated to be necessary to sustain complex human society?
* 9. What are three aspects of environmental quality that you can use as evidence to support a claim that human population is beyond carrying capacity?
