New page

The world depends on materials such as [[metal]], [[glass]], [[plastic]], [[wood]], and so many more. All of these have an environmental impact, and involve some human [[labor]].

How do we weigh the benefits of any ''green solution'' against the materials it uses?

==Research needed==

For each material, consider
* The [[energy]] it takes to produce it
* The [[pollution]] it takes to produce it {{x|If there are less polluting ways, are there tradeoffs such as needing more energy?}}
* Other considerations
** For organic materials
*** For products (such as wood), consider the ''land*time'' needed to grow them
*** For [[biomass waste|byproducts]], consider the ''inherent supply''
** For inorganic materials (such as metal)
*** Mineral reserves
*** Land disturbed by mining {{x|You can define ''disturbed'' in more than one way; for example, ''area dug up'' vs ''surrounding area polluted''.}}

Most imporantly, consider the impacts ''per unit'' of material.
