The document discusses man-built structures and systems (MBSS) and their relationship to socio-environmental-economic systems. It describes MBSS as including all man-made capital like physical, financial, knowledge, institutional and social capital. It presents frameworks that show the interactions between these dimensions, natural capital, and human capital in economic activities and their impacts on quality of life. Key areas like food production, land use, water use and emissions are discussed in terms of how they utilize different types of capital and their environmental and social impacts.

6. The PURPOSE of all economic activity is:
(1) to enable an improved Quality of Life
and Standard of Living for PEOPLE;
and,
(2) to do this without stressing nature
and the enabling natural systems.
Man Built Structures and Systems (MBSS)
have been developed and deployed to make
this possible.

● SOCIO is a PEOPLE perspective.
Everything should result in people
progressing.
● ENVIRO is about NATURE and the
ultimate source of everything that
people can ever have; and,
● ECONOMIC is the man built structures
and systems (MBSS) that have been
built to enable progress.

separated out because it has become
such an important part of the conventional
way of measuring.

About WATER USE
Water is essential to LIFE
Nothing is more important
Household water
use essential
Industrial processes
use water
Rainfall and fresh
water are abundant
in some places
but not everywhere
Household waste
also pollutes
Waste water pollution
from processes
a critical issue
Important for
all processes to
treat water before
discharge
Water is abundant,
but most has too
much dissolved
salts to be potable
