Explain in my own language

Sustainability refers to the ability to not put pressure on the environment in all areas of production and life. Sustainability is very important to environmental protection, and reducing damage to the environment is urgent.

FOR ME

I think sustainability is very important for environmental protection, and we need to reduce damage to the environment. At the same time, I also believe that sustainability is an ideology, and we can use it in every aspect of life. We use sustainability when we are creating, and we can use the concept of sustainability in artistic creation to make more people realize the importance of sustainability.

1. What have you discovered or realised about the sources evaluated?

I discovered that wikipedia was created by journalism.most of these sites are secondary.

2. Do you think they are reliable or not? Why (not)?

I think they are not reliable because their sourece are secondary and can be edited subjectively by different people，such as Wikipadia.

3. How do the sources compare to each other in terms of reliability?

I think the source from the public books is more reliable to the one from wearealbert. The former one has more detailed analysis from different sources and citations. It also writes in an academic structure with body paragraphs and conclusions. Rather, the latter one is more like a collection of conversations and opinions from different people.

3. How would you use the sources? (for background info, in an essay / report, to provide data for your group pitch etc, maybe not at all?) Justify your decision.

I would use the public books source for background check and citation even because I think it’s highly reliable.

• Research the meaning of the word sustainability. How many different meanings does it have?

Sustainability meanings：

1. Environment

2. Natural

3. Ecological

4. Debt
5. the quality of being able to continue over a period of time

6.the quality of causing little or no damage to the environment and therefore able to continue for a long time

• Write a definition of sustainability in your own words (do not copy directly from a dictionary) that covers all possible meanings.

Sustainability means a long-term uninterrupted production method, which we can use for all aspects of life. The unsustainable goal is to achieve the goal of being ecologically and environmentally friendly under the conditions that can be produced. We can achieve sustainability in many aspects, such as economy, society, law, ideology, etc.

• Create examples to illustrate these meanings.

There are many people who are practicing sustainability. For example, some industries choose more energy-efficient methods for production. In some countries and regions, more environmentally friendly wind power is selected for production. Some artists create artworks according to the concept of sustainability, and consider sustainability in every method of the creative process, and reduce carbon emissions.

• Which key factors must we consider when we discuss sustainability?

social

economic

ecological

nature

• Explain each of these factors and their significance.

social：We need to study sustainability in a sociological sense, such as enacting laws to recycle garbage. In fact, many social organizations are carrying out sustainable practices. Some art organizations will recycle some materials and turn discarded materials into artworks.

economic：Carry out sustainable practices economically. For example, some companies carry out technological innovations and use more environmentally friendly manufacturing methods.

ecological：Pay attention to the sustainable development of ecology. For example, some behaviors of rescuing animal organizations can maintain the development of ecological cycle.

The idea of using innovative materials from re- newable resources to replace polystyrene orig- inates with Prof. Dr. Alireza Kharazipour, who is member of the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology at the University of Göttingen. His research in the technical bio-center concentrates on chemistry and the process technology of composite materials. A night out at the cinema with his wife in Göttingen inspired him to produce feather-light granulate from crushed corn. “In the dark, popcorn felt as light as Styrofoam balls”, recalls Prof. Dr. Kharazipour. “The next day I made popcorn at home.”

issue
Popcorn is the classic cinema snack, but the crispy crunchy delight offers more than just an added pleasure to watching a movie on the big screen. The popcorn kernel is an ideal natural resource for eco-friendly composite materials that can be used to produce not only insulation, flakeboard, and packaging but also furniture and children’s toys. For these products, the manufacturing industry typically uses polystyrene materials like Styrofoam, whose production, use, and disposal pollutes the environment.

meansure
While 19-mm-thick flakeboard weighs 650 to 700 kg/ m3, popcorn board weighs in at an ultralight weight of 70 to 200 kg/m3 “It costs less than plastics-based materials but it’s just as solid and it can easily be cut by a circular saw.” The material may be reused and it may even be home-composted.

Find two secondary sources about environmental or ethical issues related to your field. For example, if you are a fashion design student, clothing you might want to look at environmental issues in the fashion industry.

Example 1

The negative impact created through filmmaking on the environment is very seriously. The film industry has been causing a great burden on the environment. Film production involve many aspects such as transportation, catering, power supply, makeup, scenery, props, and photographic equipment, which are related with pollutions and waste. To begin with decorations, In the process of filming, it is often necessary to carefully create a film set. And usually these carefully crafted sets that use a lot of materials will be discarded immediately after the filming is over. We rarely see the traces of recycling. Usually crew will not spend more energy and time on recycling after the hard work of shooting. As the Victory say, “It is apparent that a lot of raw material is required for the development of sets and costumes during the preproduction phase, as are the logistics to organise scouting different locations and reserving them, in some cases disrupting the ecological integrity of remote outdoor locations”（Victory，2015）. Consequently, the pollution caused by the lack of recycling is huge.

Example 2

Specific materials like high-power photography and lighting equipment are also causing many environmental problems. When film crews are shooting outdoors, they often use portable generators, which will require diesel oil and waste a lot of energy. Film production involves the joint efforts of many departments, and in the current electronic audio industry, almost every part of it has produced varying degrees of carbon emissions and waste of energy. But we can also see that changes can be made in these areas to achieve sustainable development. In a published report on sustainability in Film Production by The British Film Institute(BFI), it proposes to “The Majors prefer to manage and regulate their own activity in this area” (Bigger Picture Research,2020). The sustainability of the film production process is not only just the effort of one person, but also the effort of an entire industry.

• How do you feel about working in a group?

I feel very happy to work in a team, we can put forward ideas together, and the division of labor cooperation.

• How are you dividing tasks between you?

We would study a bibliography and a topic together, then each of us would be responsible for part of it, and at the end I would discuss and summarize it together and help each other learn.

• Describe the process involved in choosing your idea for a sustainable product. How did you come to a group decision? What difficulties did you meet? How did you overcome them?

We first considered the possibility of sustainable development of the entire film industry, then proposed the idea of energy saving, and then chose the camera as our product design. We had trouble understanding the camera, so we ended up looking for references, understanding how the camera worked, and finally designing our product.

What is sustainable film production?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_film_production
Sustainable film production is the concept of film production with particular concern for environmental, economic, and social issues. Sustainability in film production incorporates socially and environmentally responsible decision making into the pre-production and production of the film. It involves sustainable development principles at all levels of filmmaking and is best accomplished in a unified manner with collaboration and cooperation from all departments and/or participants in making the film. The sustainability of the film production should start at the launch of the project, and involve all of the key stakeholders including the director, film producer, production or costume designer, cast, and crew.

What is Green Film-making?

1.Green film making simply means leaving as little environmental impact on the planet as possible while producing your film. It’s a myth that sustainability will come with a price tag, often the opposite is true. Aside from clear environmental benefits of making your film production greener, higher sustainable standards lead to: significant cost reduction in many different aspects, increased efficiency and time-saving as well as recognition from peers. Taking the lead in sustainability also means you’ll stay on top of existing regulatory requirements and ahead of future legislation.

Write another Padlet post about the next stage of your research:
• What additional research have you undertaken?

I also read some green film websites and paper research, as well as some green film production process.

• Why has this research been useful? How might it influence your design idea?

I think it can help me to think about how to better carry out the sustainable development of the film field. It gave me a lot of new ideas and suggestions and helped me think better about my designs.

• Has any of the research not been useful? Why?

I've looked at some of the films that have been certified as green films, and I've found that the film itself is not about sustainability, it's about the process of making the film.

• Has any of the research surprised or interested you? Why?

I found that there are many people who are concerned about the environment and taking action personally. It was very moving for me.
