Earth and Beyond
Sustainability of life and wise resource use |
Physical and natural systems and sustainability |
- how understanding about environmental changes can be used to develop concepts of natural systems, in particular the impact of human processes and materials
|
- human impact on natural systems results in changes to the environment and consequently impacts on humans (eg land clearing impacts on salinity, water quality and bushland and these factors then impact in the long-term on people)
- strategies to protect local environments (eg protecting the natural features and diversity of a waterway or water source near the school)
