Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary industries
Primary industries involve extracting raw materials from nature (e.g., mining, forestry), secondary industries process raw materials into products (e.g., manufacturing), and tertiary industries provide services (e.g., healthcare).
Primary Resource
Resources obtained directly from nature (e.g., minerals, timber) through activities like mining, forestry, fisheries, and farming due to their abundance in specific regions.
Secondary industries
Industries that transform raw materials into products (e.g., manufacturing) often located near raw material sources or markets for efficiency.
Tertiary industries
Service-based industries (e.g., education, healthcare) where most people work now due to economic shifts away from primary and secondary industries.
Location factors
Factors influencing industry location like proximity to resources, markets, labor, transportation, energy, infrastructure, and government policies, applicable to industries like steel production in Hamilton.
Manufacturing regions
Most manufactured goods come from regions with skilled labor, infrastructure, access to resources, and favorable economic conditions.
Supply chains
Networks of processes involved in producing and distributing goods, with issues like sustainability, fairness, and ethical practices, requiring transparency and responsible sourcing.
Shipping methods
Various ways products are transported, each with pros (e.g., speed) and cons (e.g., environmental impact), necessitating considerations for efficiency and sustainability.
Recycling issues in Canada
Challenges in recycling processes, reasons for emergence, concerns about waste management, and the need for sustainable solutions and innovative approaches.
Halton Region Waste Management Site
Facility managing waste in Halton Region, involving waste diversion, recycling, composting, and disposal to promote sustainable waste management.
Sustainability in primary resource industries
Focus on sustainable practices in industries like aquaculture and use of non-renewable resources to ensure long-term environmental and economic viability.
"Resources are not, they become"
Concept highlighting the dynamic nature of resources, with examples of former resources (e.g., whale oil) and emerging resources (e.g., solar energy).
Canada's main export resources
Key resources Canada exports, such as minerals, timber, oil, natural gas, and agricultural products, contributing to the economy.
Government interventions for resource sustainability
Strategies like incentives ("carrot") or regulations ("stick") to encourage sustainable resource use by individuals and companies.
Carbon Tax for sustainability
Implementation of a carbon tax as a regulatory measure to reduce CO2 emissions, aiming to incentivize sustainable practices and combat climate change.
Categories of Natural Resources
Classification of resources into renewable (e.g., forests), non-renewable (e.g., minerals), flow (e.g., wind), and other resources based on characteristics and availability.
Resource sustainability actions
Ways students and schools can promote resource sustainability, such as recycling programs, energy conservation, and environmental education initiatives.
Importance of resource conservation
Reasons to care about resource usage, including environmental protection, economic stability, and social responsibility, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices.
