| calculating your carbon footprint packet: Food and Climate Change without the hot air S L Bridle, 2020-09-03 Did you know that more than a quarter of the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change come from food? In this ground-breaking and accessible book, Professor Sarah Bridle calculates the greenhouse gas emissions of a selection of our most popular meals and beverages, from a cup of tea and a bowl of cereal to spaghetti bolognese and chicken tikka masala. Breaking down different ingredients and cooking methods to reveal their environmental impact, she finds delicious and sustainable meal alternatives. With this knowledge, we can make a conscious effort to lower our emissions, such as eating more locally grown produce and introducing meat-free days, enabling us to help our planet while also eating healthier food. As well as explaining how our food choices impact the environment and giving practical advice on how to lower emissions, Food and Climate Change without the hot air considers how climate change will affect the food of the future. A rigorously researched discussion of how food and climate change are intimately connected, Bridle also dives into the important topic of food waste and gives valuable tips to avoid leftovers. Illustrated in full colour throughout, this is an essential resource for anyone with eco-anxiety looking for quick and easy ideas to become more sustainable. |

| calculating your carbon footprint packet: Determinants and Stratification of Household Carbon Footprint Sunil Nautiyal, Mrinalini Goswami, A Premkumar, 2025-03-14 This book provides comprehensive insights into the socioeconomic systems, carbon accounting, and consumption-expenditure frameworks influencing household carbon footprints (HCF) in a developing economy. It offers a unique perspective on the link between socioeconomic classes, agro-ecological zones, and carbon emissions, specifically in the Indian context. Household consumption patterns play a critical role in determining greenhouse gas emissions and are increasingly recognized as vital for shaping effective climate policies. Various socio-economic, demographic, and lifestyle factors—such as household size, income, food habits, mobility choices, waste management practices, home appliances, and education—significantly impact HCF. While the IPCC mitigation framework focuses extensively on direct emissions from energy and product production, this book emphasizes indirect emissions driven by lifestyle choices and end-use consumption. The book is based on a PAN-India study across 13 diverse locations within nine agro-ecological regions, examining the socioeconomic and geo-climatic determinants of household carbon emissions. It explores the income-consumption relationship, providing strategies to leverage these insights for targeted decarbonization and sustainable development. Additionally, the book addresses the behavioral aspects of carbon footprints and offers policy recommendations to promote a carbon handprint—advocating for carbon-friendly behaviors and solutions that are socially acceptable. By segregating emissions from production and consumption, it aims to guide the development of comprehensive emission reduction strategies for various consumables. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in sustainable consumption, climate mitigation, and the socio-economic dimensions of carbon emissions in developing countries. |

| calculating your carbon footprint packet: Adapt Tim Harford, 2011-05-10 The Undercover Economist - famed for his explanations - now offers solutions. Tim Harford introduces a new way of thinking about how to solve the world's most urgent problems, from climate change to terrorism, African poverty to global finance - even the problems we encounter in our own daily lives. When faced with such challenges, we instinctively look to leaders, experts, and gurus to provide us with pre-chewed solutions. Harford argues that the world has become too unpredictable and complex for that. Instead, we must adapt - improvise rather than plan, work from the bottom up, take baby steps. Adapt draws on exciting new work by passionate young economists and on innovative ideas from across the sciences. It looks at how and why innovation really comes about, extolling the value of trial and error and arguing that we should learn to embrace failure. Above all, Adapt applies hard-won lessons learned in the field, from a spaceport in the Mojave Desert to the street of Iraq, from a blazing offshore drilling rig to the frozen tundra of Siberia. The book shows that it's up to individuals - us - to change the world. |
