Learning Goal: I’m working on a environmental engineering writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
Think about our lecture on the concept of life cycle and systems thinking. Using the “Shifting the Burden” causal loop diagram as a template, create your own causal loop diagram that depicts your own “shifting the burdenâ€� story, and share it with the class. Start by identifying a “problem symptom,â€� and a “quick fix.â€� Then, think about a fundamental solution, and the impact of any side effects of a “quick fix” on the fundamental solution to the problem. You may choose an environmental problem that is of interest to you.
