Unit Four Ethnographic Notes A & C

Sustainability is an area or business that can provide for its own community. It can survive on its own as well as not make an impact on the world. I think the way a building is sustainability is if they are low on their global impact.

These are solar panels; they work by capturing light from the sun to create power. With that power they light and heat the inside of the building they sit on. They make the building sustainable by not taking power from other places. 

This is a place that the people’s transportation can be hooked up to. They don’t burn anything in their cars making the air cleaner. These people are also rewarded by being able to park in the front as well as get free energy.

This is a place where they grow food which they can sell in their cafeteria. This makes it sustainable because they don’t have to go and order the foods that they grow, they can get it from here. This can also clean the air.

These are the bins that they throw their waste into. Each one is for different things. The middle bin if for things that can be reused like the things that they drink out of. The bin on the left is where the leftover food goes in. That will be sent to go into the dirt to make more dirt for plants. The bin on the right is the one that the things that don’t go into the first two go into. They are sustainable because they will come back to use in some way.

Notes C

Capitalism is a economic system that a countries industry is owned by private owners for profit. You have to pay for a lot of stuff that is used and things will be around for your using.  A capitalist commodity is a everyday thing that is found in a capitalist society. They are useful and valuable things in this society.

Laptops are something that you will see anywhere in college. You can see students on their laptops during class typing notes and looking up other things. They also sit outside a class and work on things for their next class. 

Another thing that is available is drink products they are everywhere you do and there are multiple drinks to choose from. They often come in containers that you throw away. No one uses drinking fountains anymore.

They are in every other building. Coffee wasn’t a big thing until about twenty years ago when Starbucks became a big company. Originally coffee was a drink that people would sit around a drink but now it is on the go.

Parking lot is something you see everywhere in America. People drive everywhere and try to park as close as they can. More and more cars are on the road.

Computer labs became big in the past ten years more and more things are done online. More places have computer labs. If the school doesn’t it is considered old.
