As humankind grows in number, the need to preserve our Earth becomes even more important. Every industry is paying attention and coming up with new ways to protect the Earth, while allowing us to live as comfortably as possible. This includes industries that we may have never thought of before. Watch the videos to see how people in the Architecture & Construction, Manufacturing, and Transportation & Logistics industries are working hard to preserve our planet.
Architecture & Construction
Eco-Friendly Houses
Manufacturing
Eco-Friendly Drywall
Transportation & Logistics
The Vermont Sail Freight Project
Now imagine that you are a special presenter at an Earth Day convention. You are tasked with building a slideshow using these three examples to explain how people in the Architecture & Construction, Manufacturing, and Transportation & Logistics industries are doing their part.
Use the videos and websites you just explored and consult the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook to help you put together your presentation. You should be familiar with the site from the previous lab, but let’s explore jobs in these new industries. (Hint: in the Transportation & Logistics links above, even though Erik is the business founder, his job would fall under Water Transportation instead of a cluster related to business).
Your slideshow must include the following:
Content
An introduction to the career featured in each industry
An explanation of the career outlook for these careers
What their job consists of (the “What they do…” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
How to get into the field, including education (the “How to Become One…” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
How fast this career is expected to grow (the “Job Outlook” section of the Occupational Outlook Handbook)
A summary of their efforts to go green and how it benefits the environment
Elements
Seven slides
Three pictures
You may add more slides if you choose. Remember to make it stand out! You want everyone to know that the industries you represent love the environment and are doing something about it.
