1. TEAM 1: LEAH SILVERMAN, SAM BERKHEIMER, DAVID MORRIS, ERIK SCHLENKER UNSUSTAINABLE LIVING

2. LEAH SILVERMAN Live in/near New York City Have a steady job with a chemical engineering company Be able to visit family in Pennsylvania

3. WHY TECHNOLOGY INTERFERES Terrible air quality in cities Overcrowding Huge amounts of garbage produced Increasing fuel costs lead to more difficult transportation

4. DAVID MORRIS I hope to be a Mechanical Engineer not really sure where it will take me, but optimistic for the future. I have always liked to work I have worked for Non- Profit Organizations, The Philadelphia Zoo, and now at The Penn State Bakery.

5. EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY Cost of maintenance Change in the way that jobs are accomplished Less work force = Less jobs

6. SAM BERKHEIMER I enjoy hunting among other outdoor activities I want to own my own land that I can manage for outdoor use especially deer hunting Many management goals focus on maximizing herd populations on a minimal amount of land

7. PROBLEMS CWD (chronic wasting disease) Management of deer herds is very energy intensive, therefore increasingly expensive and unsustainable Living away of developed areas increases the amount of transportation needed for all needs ex. Power lines, food, distance to work, etc.

8. ERIK SCHLENKER I hope to one day practice civil engineering somewhere I hope to have a family someday, and hopefully we will be able to live in an area that has low environmental hazard. Hopefully, we will be able to live in a home that we can heat and cool, have good water, etc.

9. WHAT GETS IN THE WAY? Technology taking jobs away (robots doing tasks previously done by humans, electronic communication allows outsourcing to other countries, etc) Pollution problems
