Standard

SEV3. Obtain, evaluate, and
communicate information to evaluate
types, availability, allocation, and
sustainability of energy resources.

c. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate
data to predict the sustainability
potential of renewable and non-
renewable energy resources.

September 28, 2021

Learning Targets

1. I can differentiate between

sustainable vs non-
sustainable.

2. I can list behaviors and

practices that are
unsustainable with efficiency, replenish rate and cost.

Imagine that you are enjoying a bowl of popcorn.

What happens once the popcorn is gone?
How could you make this one bowl last longer?

Making this one bowl last longer would be seeking sustainability for this popcorn serving.

Mini- Lesson

Well, we could pop more popcorn, right?

If only consuming non-renewable energy sources were as simple as ‘making more’ then we
wouldn’t be as concerned about the ‘finite’ or ‘limited’ amounts.

Mini- Lesson

Unlike popcorn, non-renewable energy resources can take hundreds to millions to billions of
years to create. Simply stated, they are not recovered within a human lifespan.

Mini- Lesson

Recall
Nonrenewable Energy Resources:

Mini- Lesson

Can you identify

the two major groups?

fossil fuels-

nuclear energy-

​

​nonrenewable energy

How are oil and natural gas made?

Recall
Nonrenewable Energy Resources:

Multiple Choice

Assess the significance of the evolution of decomposers on the production of coal.

• • Decomposers prevent coal from forming in present day.

• • Decomposers prevented coal from forming in the past.

• • Decomposers increase coal formation in present day.

• Decomposers increased coal formation in the past

Claim

We are getting better in the United States with our environmentally
sustainable practices. We have reduced waste, we have reduced
depletion, we have reduced degradation of our natural resources.

Understanding Sustainability

●Definition: Using resources without harming the environment or future
generations

●Key concept: Meeting present needs without compromising future
generations' abilities

●Focus: Energy use and its impact on sustainability

●Importance: Making informed decisions about energy consumption

Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Energy Sources

●Renewable Energy:

●Definition: Sources that can be naturally replenished

●Examples: Solar power, wind energy

●Pros: Environmentally friendly, infinite supply

●Cons: Initial high costs, weather-dependent

●Nonrenewable Energy:

●Definition: Finite resources that will eventually deplete

●Examples: Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)

●Pros: Currently cheaper, easily accessible

●Cons: Environmental pollution, contribute to climate change

Evaluating Sustainability Potential

Factors to consider:

●Resource availability

●Ease of extraction/harnessing

●Environmental impact (pollution, emissions)

●Economic implications

●Social consequences

Case study: Solar Power

●Pros: Clean energy, widely available

●Cons: High initial costs, weather-dependent

Case study: Fossil Fuels

●Pros: Cheap, easily accessible

●Cons: Greenhouse gas emissions, finite supply

Creating a Sustainable Future

Strategies for sustainable energy use:

●Reduce reliance on nonrenewable sources

●Increase adoption of renewable energy

●Improve energy efficiency

Benefits:

●Environmental protection

●Energy security

●Economic stability

●Improved quality of life for future generations

Call to action:

●Make informed energy choices

●Support sustainable energy policies

●Invest in renewable technologies

Net-zero policy

will be achieved when all emissions

released by human activities are
counterbalanced by removing
carbon from the atmosphere
