Question 1

1.

Please choose the BEST AND MOST CORRECT answer below:
When analyzing the life cycle of a product, why is it important to analyze the resource and manufacturing process of the product? (the birth of the product)(think about environmental impacts and world resource impacts)

You need to be able to think about all of the things that make you money when looking at the birth of a product.

In the big picture of the birth of a product it takes a considerable amount of energy and resources to create a product, and this can also create waste.

When you are considering the big picture of things, the birth of a product is the best part.

The birth of a product is the time when we can sit down and really appreciate how much money we waste on making consumer products.

Question 2

2.

Please choose the BEST AND MOST CORRECT answer below:
When analyzing the life cycle of a product, why is it important to analyze the product while it is being used by the consumer? (the life of the product)(think about environmental impacts and world resource impacts)

The life of the product is the part where the companies are trying to gather the most data.

This is the part where you are really wasting the most money as a consumer.

This is the part where there will be further energy consumption and waste bi-products, and so we look at things like electricity and batteries and other replaceable parts.

Sometimes you need to really think about your life and what exactly you want to do, so we do that with products.

Question 3

3.

Please choose the BEST AND MOST CORRECT answer below:
When analyzing the life cycle of a product, why is it important to analyze disposal and recyclability of a product? (the death/afterlife of the product)(think about environmental impacts and world resource impacts)

It's just simply cool to recycle.

To think about the end cycle of the product means to look at all the ways in which the company can benefit in the future.

We want to make sure that when products are disposed of they create the least amount of stink possible.

Disposing of a product or even trying to recycle a product can cause more waste and burn more energy and so we try to figure out better ways to do this.

Question 4

4.

Please choose the BEST AND MOST CORRECT answer below:
Why is making sustainable products and protecting the environment in general such an important topic that we need to carefully analyze and consider? What’s the big deal? Think about the impact we have on the environment when we make products, use products, and dispose of products.

When considering the environment we need to be able to think about our own needs first, and so therefore that is why we are always creating better products.

Sustainability is all about getting the most out of a product and so therefore we need to think deeper about what sustains us as humans.

It is generally agreed that we need to take careful steps to protect the environment and the world’s limited resources, and so that is why we take careful steps to make more sustainable products that are better for the resources of the world, better for waste, and better for the environment.

Question 5

5.

Please choose the BEST AND MOST CORRECT answer below:
What can designers do to help with making sustainable products? What are some of the things they need to carefully consider when designing a sustainable product? How can they “plan ahead”?

Designers can plan ahead by thinking about all of the ways in which we will make the most money as a company.

Designers can plan ahead by thinking carefully about all the ways we can protect the environment and limit damages before the product is ever even made.

Designers can plan ahead by thinking about all the ways in which the product will be desireable, and therefore more people will want to buy it.

Who plans ahead? Not me.
