PROBLEM
P. 1 (2.5 point): Give your explanation about “How the industrial
ecology at national level solve the environmental issues”

P. 2 (2.5 point): Give your opinion about one of the resources that
should be recycled 100% in VietNam.

P.3 ( 5 point): Select a sustainable car for next 25 years in terms of

global warming and human toxicity impacts, when the emissions of A, B
and C will increase as 3% (A); 9%(B) and 11% (C) as during each 1,5
years. The emission rate was showed in this table:

We can see:

Cars A and B have a modest ( low ) global warming impact.

Cars C and A have little toxicity to humans.

As a result, we pick automobile A since it has minimal global warming and human toxicity.

It can also be overcome by other means.
