  1. ENV 340 Week 1 Individual Assignment Energy Dependence and Sustainability Worksheet For more course tutorials visit www.tutorialrank.com ENV 340 Week 1 Individual Assignment Energy Dependence and Sustainability Paper How dependent are you on different types of energy to complete your daily activities? Which type of energy do you use most? Using your experience as typical, how dependent on energy is our society? Why? What types of energy are consumed in your state? How is this energy used? What percentage of electricity in your state is generated by nuclear power? Do you think nuclear power is a sustainable energy source? Why? ============================================== ENV 340 Week 1,2,3 Energy Matrix For more course tutorials visit

  6. • Compare actions you currently use to those you might take in daily activities at home, when commuting, and at work to in a personal effort to reduce the energy you consume. Make an estimate of the impact of your changed behavior. (PSLO 1.1, 2.5) • Describe how you might integrate sustainable energy sources options into your home. Include discussion of the feasibility of alternative sources, energy efficient technology, architectural modifications, and green materials. Indicate the expected outcome for adopting these changes. (PSLO 1.5, 2.1) • Research methods that other States or Regions have used successfully to reduce energy consumption and based on this, determine actions that your State or Region might take to reduce the amount of energy consumed. Include not only efforts to promote used of alternative sources, energy efficient technology, sustainable architecture, and use of green materials, but also urban planning and land use controls. (PSLO 3.1, 3.2, 1.1, 2.2) • Describe current sustainable building and development practices and technologies used by your State or Region. Present or cite some evidence of the effectiveness of these practices. (PSLO 2.1, 3.2) • Determine improvements you might recommend to the practices in your State or Region.(PSLO 2.5) Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. (PSLO 4.2) ==============================================
