Mars and Sustainability

This was our interpretation week. This week in class our job was too follow the IDEO process to come up with some ideas about sustainability based on our interviews. Our group Of four focused on one of the groups interviews because it was the most interesting. Tor interviewed the president of the Australian Mars Society. She said that she was really sure where the interview would go but it turned out to be very interesting and useful. We looked at how they plan to manage sustainability on a new planet with very limited resources.

Our basic conclusion was that because they have a fresh slate on mars, sustainability can be built into the systems from the start. Of course this doesnt help UC, but it could help all new planning from now on.
