Based on the information given in the FedEx Scenario, identify one examples of the environmental side that make up our concept of sustainable development. Label the impact as either a positive or negative impact.

Question 37

Not yet graded / 4 pts

Based on all of this, would you support this expansion of the FedEx hub and consider it sustainable? Give 2 reasons why it is or is not sustainable. Your Answer: I would argue that even though most of these impacts are positive now they are not sustainable. Such as the fuel use and emissions this is very much a problem and will only increase as the airport expands. The trucking in and out is also an issue this can be made more sustainable but it would take a lot of work.
