This document contains a comprehensive set of approximately 150 review questions and answers for CADS 2000 Exam 1, covering key topics such as sustainability, ESG frameworks, globalization, and the Industrial Revolution. It includes multiple-choice questions, true/false statements, and definition-based exercises that reinforce core concepts like cradle-to-cradle systems, recycling processes, lifecycle assessment, and environmental impact. According to the content on pages 1–8, the document begins with sustainability terminology and conceptual frameworks such as Product Plus, Intergenerational Remote Tyranny, and Cradle-to-Cradle systems. Pages 9–16 expand into globalization, economic systems, and international organizations, including trade, shipping, and global production processes. The later sections (pages 20–23) focus on real-world applications such as supply chains, manufacturing efficiency, and consumer behavior during historical periods like the Roaring 20s, providing both theoretical and applied understanding. The material is closely aligned with the required course textbook Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart, as explicitly referenced in the document (page 21). It reflects key sustainability principles and systems-thinking approaches widely taught in fashion, business, and environmental studies programs.
