** 5 Ways by which Appropriate Technology can Provide a Sustainable Way of **
====** Living in One of the Poorer Less Economically Developed Countries 1. Labour-intensive projects - with with so many people likely to be unemployed or underemployed, it is of little value replacing existing workers by machine **==== ** 2. **  Encouraging technology that with sustainable and fully utilises the existing skills and techniques of local people.
 * =====The less machines used means that there will be less unemployed people. The less amount of unemployed people. This will be a social advantage because, people will be able to pay for basic needs. For example: food, shelter and their kids will have better education.=====


 * 3.** Developing local crafts and industries by using local natural resources and, where possible, recycling materials
 * Using natural resources can be less cheap for the economy because they would not have to pay for transportation, and this would be a environmental advantage because transportation requires non-renewable resources, for example: COAL, this produces greenhouses gases (greenhouses gases is the cause of global warming). Also, it is an advantage for places where transport is not as developed because it would be less have a difficulty to transport.
 * recycling materials is an advantage because it means less money needed to pay for new materials and this could also lead up to a cleaner environment.
 * 4.** Low-cost schemes using technologies that people can afford and manage
 * This means the less money the economy pays for more heavy industrial machinery. Than the economy will be able to spend the money on more important matters, for example: a social advantage like schools will have more money for better education OR the money could be used to improve poorer areas of the country.

**5.** Developing projects that are in harmony with the environment Sources Geography Text Book (The New Wilder World 'Second Edition' - David Waugh) [|BULAinc - Better Understanding of Life in Africa] 
 * This is an advantage because developing projects which are not ruining the environment could lead to more tourists. Tourism is one of the main ways in which locals rely their employment and the amount of money they have on.
