Unit 2: Industry and the environment

Industrial processes are a cornerstone of modern society, providing the goods and services that fuel our economies and improve our quality of life. However, the rapid expansion of industry has brought with it a range of environmental challenges, from pollution and resource depletion to habitat destruction and greenhouse gas emissions. In this unit, we will examine these challenges in detail, seeking to understand their causes, consequences and potential solutions. Our exploration will take us through various industrial sectors, from energy production and manufacturing to agriculture and transportation. We will analyse the environmental footprint of these industries, exploring the ways in which they can adopt sustainable practices and mitigate their negative impacts on the environment. Throughout this unit, we will emphasise the critical role that individuals, businesses and policymakers play in driving positive change. By the end of Unit 2, you will have a deeper understanding of the intricate connections between industry and the environment, as well as the tools and strategies available to promote a more sustainable and harmonious relationship between the two. Together, we will work towards a future where industry and environmental protection can coexist and thrive.

Unit 3: Resource efficiency and waste management

In this unit, we will explore how efficient resource utilisation can contribute to environmental preservation and the mitigation of climate change. We will also delve into the strategies, technologies and practices that organisations, communities and individuals can adopt to minimise waste generation, promote recycling and manage waste responsibly. As we journey through this unit, you will gain valuable insights into the principles of resource conservation, sustainable production and consumption, and the significance of a circular economy. We will also examine the environmental impacts of waste, the importance of waste reduction, and the various waste management methods and strategies available to us. By the end of this unit, you will have a deeper understanding of how resource efficiency and waste management are integral components of the broader effort to protect our planet, address climate change, and foster a more sustainable and environmentally conscious society. So, let’s embark on this enlightening exploration of resource efficiency and waste management to become better stewards of our environment.
