SCI 207 Our Dependence on the enviroment class. I need a paper written with the Title The Journey to Sustainability

/in /by

Imagine a future (probably a long time from now) in which human beings have achieved environmental sustainability on a global scale. That means that we as a species have figured out how to maintain a lifestyle that can go on indefinitely. Humans will exist in harmony with their environment, not needing more resources than can naturally be replenished. What would such a world be like? How might we get there from here?

In this final assignment, you will play the part of science-fiction writer, imagining and describing what a sustainable Earth, inhabited by humans, might look like in the distant future. You will need to provide examples throughout to support your descriptions. You should include all the terms that you have researched during Weeks 1 through 4 of this class, underlining each term as you include it. Be sure to expand on your terms and include other concepts that you learned in the course. Provide as detailed a picture as possible of how that future world might function on a day-to-day basis. In your paper, use grammar and spell-checking programs to insure clarity. Proofread carefully prior to submitting your work. Finally, you will submit the document to Waypoint.

Your paper will consist of seven paragraphs using the format below to address the elements with the assumption that environmental sustainability has been achieved:

  • Paragraph 1:
    • Describe how the human relationship to nature will be different from what it is at present.
    • Examine how humans will cope differently with the ways that natural phenomena like hurricanes affect lives.
  • Paragraph 2:
    • Describe what Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems will look like in a sustainable future.
    • Explain what humans have done differently to enable biodiversity and ecosystems to function sustainably.
  • Paragraph 3:
    • Examine how agricultural production will be different in a sustainable future.
  • Paragraph 4:
    • Differentiate between how humans will manage water resources (fresh water and ocean) in the sustainable future compared to how it is done now.
  • Paragraph 5
    • Examine how humans will meet their energy needs in the future in a way that will enable maintenance of a sustainable, habitable atmosphere and climate.
    • Indicate the changes that humans have made that are enabling them to maintain a healthy atmosphere and climate for all.
  • Paragraph 6:
    • Describe how waste management will be different in a sustainable future.
    • Indicate the changes have been made to how humans think about and treat what is currently called “waste.”
  • Paragraph 7:
    • Summarize some of the major social, economic, political, and ecological choices and tradeoffs that will need to be overcome for this sustainable future to arrive. What are some of the major issues and challenges humans will have to face in order to achieve sustainability on a global scale?

The Journey to Sustainability final paper

Prepare a memo in Word, which addresses the questions in the Chapter 8 Case, Bullock Gold Mining, on page 274of the textbook.

Use Excel to solve any financial calculations and include your original calculations in your Word document Memo.

You will be graded on correct financial analysis, proper use of technology, and a business-like presentation of your assessment of the problem.

CHAPTER CASE

BULLOCK GOLD MINING

Seth Bullock, the owner of Bullock Gold Mining, is evaluating a new gold mine in South Dakota. Dan Dority, the company’s geologist, has just finished his analysis of the mine site. He has estimated that the mine would be productive for eight years, after which the gold would be completely mined. Dan has taken an estimate of the gold deposits to Alma Garrett, the company’s financial officer. Alma has been asked by Seth to perform an analysis of the new mine and present her recommendation on whether the company should open the new mine.

Alma has used the estimates provided by Dan to determine the revenues that could be expected from the mine. She has also projected the expense of opening the mine and the annual operating expenses. If the company opens the mine, it will cost $650 million today, and it will have a cash outflow of $72 million nine years from today in costs associated with closing the mine and reclaiming the area surrounding it. The expected cash flows each year from the mine are shown in the table on this page. Bullock Mining has a 12 percent required return on all of its gold mines.

Year Cash Flow
0 −$650,000,000
1 80,000,000
2 121,000,000
3 162,000,000
4 221,000,000
5 210,000,000
6 154,000,000
7 108,000,000
8 86,000,000
9 −72,000,000

QUESTIONS

1. Construct a spreadsheet to calculate the payback period, internal rate of return, modified internal rate of return, and net present value of the proposed mine.
2. Based on your analysis, should the company open the mine?
3. Bonus question: Most spreadsheets do not have a built-in formula to calculate the payback period. Write a VBA script that calculates the payback period for a project.
