Different economic development strategies may result in varied socioeconomic and environmental synergies or tradeoffs, suggesting an opportunity for environmentally conscious planning. To understand such synergies or tradeoffs, a dynamic environmental life cycle assessment was conducted for eleven groups of New Hampshire industries. Historical state level Gross Domestic Product (GDP)-by-industry data was combined with economic input-output analysis to calculate the direct and life cycle energy use, freshwater use, greenhouse gas emissions, and eutrophication potential of each industry on a yearly basis for the period of 1997-2012. The future development of agriculture, traditional manufacturing, high tech, and tourism industries were investigated based on government projections. Total life cycle impacts of the 11 industries were found to represent around three to seven times those of direct impacts, indicating the significance of the supply chain impacts. Traditional manufacturing has the highest life cycle impacts even though it contributes to less than 10% of the state GDP. Future development of high tech was found to be the best strategy to increase GDP while imposing the least additional environmental impacts. Tourism presents relatively high impacts in terms of freshwater use and eutrophication potential, and a change in recreational style might be able to reduce its impacts.

ResumoEste artigo objetiva apresentar e descrever as ações do projeto de extensão Comunica Erechim, desenvolvido na Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS), campus Erechim, desde março de 2011. O projeto parte das concepções de letramento como processo de valoração e do uso social da linguagem, constitutivo das práticas sociais e das subjetividades. Os resultados obtidos até agora demonstram a importância desse projeto, que busca oferecer aos estudantes de graduação o desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências relativas à produção textual. Ademais, é um espaço para registrar a vida institucional da UFFS e expô-la à comunidade externa, estreitando as barreiras entre universidade e comunidade. Palavras-chave:
