My diagram on the movement of ways in which the introduction of the Biogas chambers have on benefiting a community. The Biogas tanks offer much more than just a source of fuel for the homes of many, but they also many jobs and food for the families affected. For example, the Biogas chambers create a fuel source, but they all decrease the harmful effects of smoke from burning dry trees. This means that people are healthier and can provide for their families longer. The Biogas chambers help to make communities more resilient. The people of each village now do not rely on the availability of trees and twigs, which will allow them to continue to cook even if something were to happen to their trees or shrubs. In addition, the villages are more stable, as a small disturbance, such as a drought, will not affect their fuel source anymore.
My diagram compared to the Marten reading is different and alike in a few ways. In my diagram, I dealt largely with the products that the Biogas chambers provided, such as increased jobs and healthier conditions. The Marten diagram, they largely dealt with the “before” aspect of the Biogas chambers. I, on the other hand, liked to look at the positives of the Biogas generators after their installation. There are similarities and differences because of the scope in which an ecosystem can be viewed. The Marten diagram viewed the ecosystem before the Biogas tanks, while I viewed the ecosystem afterwards.
