According to the chart, what percentage of US energy is produced by all of the nonrenewable sources, combined?
The carbon footprint is the amount of GHG produced from an activity or a product. What would be the carbon footprint of a power plant producing electricity from coal. Calculate the GHG emission of CO2 per kWh of electricity produced. Assume the energy efficiency of the power plant as 38% and the heating value of coal as 4500 Kcal/Kg. Assume coal is 50% carbon. The answer you will get is also known as the emission factor for a coal power plant.
After measuring mass, energy content, and dollar value for each food type, the researchers calculated emissions per kilogram, calorie, and dollar. In every case, red meat produced the most emissions, followed by dairy products and chicken, fish, and eggs. They then calculated that shifting one’s diet from meat and dairy to fruits, vegetables, and grains for just one day per week would reduce emissions as much as eating 100% locally (cutting food-miles to zero) all the time. Knowing all this, how would you choose to reduce your own food footprint? By how much do you think you could reduce it
