The core ideas in this diagram revolve around a focus on biofuel and the effects it has on both the society and the ecosystem. Due to videos primary focus on the impact this process has on the society, a more in depth approached was used in this lane of impact. The production of biofuel creates a cleaner environment which in turn allows for less pollution and better health. In addition, the production of biofuel can also be used to create organic compost, which can then be sold to produce better income or used to produce better crops. The income generated from either may then be used to pursue education. The diagram assumes that the pursuit of education is halted by lack of income or time. A futurist would argue that the due to the positive impact of technology, the overall negative impact on the environment is lessened.

The diagrams are the same in the sense that they both outline two systems, the social system and the ecosystem. They are different because my diagram details the process in which a product, biofuel, is used to affect both systems. The Marten diagram adds by detailing how each system interacts with its counterpart rather than how one product influences two systems. The man takeaway I gained from this comparison was that one can look at the effects two systems have on each other, to gain a better understanding of the overall system that results from the comparison. While my diagram outlined the products and resulting effects, it did not analyze how the systems interact with one another.
