After studying all material from Chapter 9, research & analyze a particular product’s life cycle. You are required to choose a product of a Texas-based company/brand with which you are familiar. For example: local drinking water, food items, produce, building materials, Blue Bell Ice Cream, Dr. Pepper, Cavender's boots, etc.
Try to trace the product's entire life cycle to include the following:
When and where did the product originate/company history?
What resources go into its design and manufacture? (Cf. ingredients, raw materials)
How is it distributed (transported & sold), used, disposed of? (Cf. Cradle-to-grave vs. cradle-to-cradle).
Analyze the economic, environmental, and ethical costs and benefits associated with this product (include textbook concepts and terms from Chapters 1-9 in your response).
