These lectures were really good, i thought, because after all the talk i went away and checked out the websites that were suggested and they are REALLY interesting.

This gave me my personal environmental impact which for transport was
CO2[lbs] |
oil spills[gallons] |
CO[lbs] |
Hydrocarbons[lbs] |
NOx[lbs] |
| 2853.08 | 0.0233 | 15.14 | 1.29 | 5.91 |
I also learnt that i use about 58809.22 litres of water a year..
if i add the amount of water that i was responsible for wasting in my house then
2013917.79L
you need a zip code for the lowimpactliving website, so that wasnt any good but in fighting global warming.com i measured the amount of metric tons of carbon i release FIVE 5 Cinco Cúig Cinq Metric Tons of CO2
But as we learnt in Sustainability Metrics, these figures don’t mean anything unless they are compared to, and i will aggregate my number, im going to say that since my water usage is shocking bad, but my carbon usage is ok-ish, that ill be a 72 on a scale of 0 to 100 where zero is Neutrality and 100 is Unsustainability.
Comments very welcome
