Sustainable Evolution of the Auto Industry Name: ___________________________ AM / PM Historically, the automotive manufacturing industry has not focused on sustainable practices. Traditional assembly-line manufacturing processes – many still in use today – use huge amounts of energy, metals, plastics, toxins, and manpower; all leaving behind a massive carbon footprint. On top of that, once vehicles are produced, most require fossil fuels to operate, which subsequently releases harmful emissions. The entire process has a vast environmental impact.. However, the auto industry and automotive repair shops participate in many recycling programs that are greatly adding to the health of the planet. This project challenges you to explore three topics: 1. How you feel about sustainability 2. How the automotive industry practices sustainability 3. Local recycling companies you can use as you embark on your automotive career Grading Rubric - List or underline 3 things you MUST do to get a 100 in the EXCEEDS STANDARDS box Standards Students evaluate current solutions and develop new ones to improve recycling practices in the auto industry.
