One of the core ideas in my diagram is that with the advancement of biogas the health of this specific indian community was vastly helped.  I also tried to show how the wealth of the community is almost solely based off of the compost or in other words, part of the ecosystem.  This community started their journey for a stove fuel by using firewood which then started to cause problems with being exposed to dirty air.  This could be an example of a positive feedback loop because every time they burned firewood the dirtier the air that they lived in became.  This community then showed its resilience in that it searched for a new way to better their air and livelihood as a community by using biogas to power their stoves.  The organization of my diagram is actually very similar to figure 1.5.  I also decided to split up my diagram into two separate sides instead of making one large map.  they are different in that I happen to have an equal amount of boxes on both sides of my diagram where as in figure 1.5 there were much more topics on the social systems side.  I think that in the future I could perhaps focus more on the connections between the ecosystem and social system rather than focusing on matching one ecosystem topic per social system topic.
