Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Goods and Services
Author: Chris T. HendricksonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136525505
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Environmental life cycle assessment is often thought of as cradle to grave and therefore as the most complete accounting of the environmental costs and benefits of a product or service. However, as anyone who has done an environmental life cycle assessment knows, existing tools have many problems: data is difficult to assemble and life cycle studies take months of effort. A truly comprehensive analysis is prohibitive, so analysts are often forced to simply ignore many facets of life cycle impacts. But the focus on one aspect of a product or service can result in misleading indications if that aspect is benign while other aspects pollute or are otherwise unsustainable. This book summarizes the EIO-LCA method, explains its use in relation to other life cycle assessment models, and provides sample applications and extensions of the model into novel areas. A final chapter explains the free, easy-to-use software tool available on a companion website. (www.eiolca.net) The software tool provides a wealth of data, summarizing the current U.S. economy in 500 sectors with information on energy and materials use, pollution and greenhouse gas discharges, and other attributes like associated occupational deaths and injuries. The joint project of twelve faculty members and over 20 students working together over the past ten years at the Green Design Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, the EIO-LCA has been applied to a wide range of products and services. It will prove useful for research, industry, and in economics, engineering, or interdisciplinary classes in green design.

Guide for Reporting to the National Pollutant Release Inventory

ISBN: 9780662273431
Category : Environmental policy
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is a federal government initiative designed to collect and make available to the public, on a yearly basis, comprehensive national data on releases to air, water and land and transfers in waste of specified substances. The inventory provides information from all Canadian sectors: industrial, government, commercial and others. Under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, owners or operators of facilities that manufacture, process or otherwise use one or more of the specified substances under prescribed conditions are required to report to the NPRI. This document enables facility owners or operators to review the NPRI reporting criteria and determine if they are required to report the NPRI for the current year. It also provides guidance for completing the reporting form and filing a report with Environment Canada.

New Tools for Environmental Protection
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309169429
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Many people believe that environmental regulation has passed a point of diminishing returns: the quick fixes have been achieved and the main sources of pollution are shifting from large "point sources" to more diffuse sources that are more difficult and expensive to regulate. The political climate has also changed in the United States since the 1970s in ways that provide impetus to seek alternatives to regulation. This book examines the potential of some of these "new tools" that emphasize education, information, and voluntary measures. Contributors summarize what we know about the effectiveness of these tools, both individually and in combination with regulatory and economic policy instruments. They also extract practical lessons from this knowledge and consider what is needed to make these tools more effective. The book will be of interest to environmental policy practitioners and to researchers and students concerned with applying social and behavioral sciences knowledge to improve environmental quality.
