*** WHAT’S COVERED ***
1. Sustainable Development
* The definition of sustainable development, focusing on meeting the needs of current and future generations.
* Activities that are not sustainable, such as using up finite resources and damaging the environment.
2. Sustainable Manufacturing and Resource Use
* The importance of using renewable resources, like wood, over finite resources, such as crude oil for plastics.
* How chemists reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing by making processes more energy-efficient using catalysts and optimum conditions.
3. Reusing and Recycling
* The concept of reusing an item for the same or a different purpose.
* The process of recycling materials when they are too damaged to reuse.
* An explanation of how glass is recycled by separating, crushing, melting and reshaping.
* An overview of how metals are recycled, including separation and melting.
