C1.1 analyse the environmental costs and benefits, local and global, of recent innovations in<br />

communications technology (e.g., costs and benefits related to resource usage, energy<br />

<strong>de</strong>mand, waste disposal, toxic substances, radiation, air and water pollution)<br />

C1.2 <strong>de</strong>scribe ways of minimizing or avoiding harmful environmental effects caused by<br />

communications technologies and media activities (e.g., upgra<strong>de</strong> products rather than<br />

dispose of them; turn off equipment that is not being used; treat <strong>de</strong>ad batteries as toxic<br />

waste; recycle used paper and printer cartridges)<br />

C1. <strong>de</strong>scribe the environmental impact of communications media technologies, and i<strong>de</strong>ntify<br />

ways of minimizing their harmful effects<br />

C1.1 <strong>de</strong>scribe the effects of current photographic, digital imaging, animation, 3D mo<strong>de</strong>lling,<br />

and web <strong>de</strong>sign technologies on the environment (e.g., paperless publication, increased<br />

energy consumption, battery disposal, waste and disposal problems created by rapid<br />

obsolescence of equipment)<br />

C1.2 <strong>de</strong>scribe ways in which environmental problems are being or can be addressed by the<br />

photographic, digital imaging, animation, 3D mo<strong>de</strong>lling, and web <strong>de</strong>sign industries (e.g.,<br />

use of rechargeable batteries; reduction of packaging; recycling of paper, toner and ink<br />

cartridges; use of energy-efficient equipment; upgrading rather than replacing obsolete<br />

equipment; recycling equipment slated for disposal; environmental certification of<br />

operations [EcoLogo, ISO 14001])<br />
