- Sustainability
- Resource Sustainability
- Use > replacement = resource depletion
- Abundant resources may take a long time to deplete so are treated as inexhaustible
- Resource depletion needs to be anticipated so we can develop new technology
- Life-Support System Sustainability
- Human activities may seem sustainable but may reduce life-support system abilities
- Development of unsustainable lifestyles
- Humans deliberately increased biological productivity to increase carrying capacity
- Productivity increased to point where sedentary lifestyle is possible
- As human population and our impact increased our sustainability levels have decreased
- Many natural processes allow Earth to recover from damaging activities
