 Three types of enabling impacts regarding resources:
 
-- Process optimization: Immaterial replaces material resource (information reducing travel impacts)
-- Media substitution: material replaces material resource (e-book, physical books)
-- Externalization of control: immaterial replaces immaterial (eg. centralizing a previous process optimization step)
