“promoting the goal of sustainable development” iema The professional body for the environment Scene setting The world's population produces 16 million tonnes of CO2 every 24 hours, of which the UK alone is responsible for 13%. To plant a forest to offset the UK's carbon emissions, the forest would need to cover the entire area of the UK and half as much again.

“promoting the goal of sustainable development” iema The professional body for the environment Carbon Footprinting The total set of GHG emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organisation, event or product [Carbon Trust] A measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide [anon. widely quoted] Three main sources 1.Direct (combustion, CH 4, HFC) 2.Electricity, heat & steam 3.Use of products and services (i.e. outwith direct control)
