1. Carbon Rationing Action Groups Twickenham Robin Smith 30 August 2007

2. Today … A Bit About The Climate & Carbon Breaking Down Your Carbon Emissions Calculating Your Carbon Footprint Carbon Rationing Action Group’s

3. You Thought It Was Hot In 2003!

4. Balloon contains a volume = 1 tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) 95% of what we do & buy burns fossil fuels CO2 the main greenhouse gas resulting from this UK per capita = ~10 tonnes CO2 (640Mt / 61M people) UK individuals can directly control ~5 tonnes of this or about 50%

5. How Much Carbon Do We Emit Do We Need To Think Globally

6. What Happens to the Other 50% Per Capita emissions = ~10 tonnes CO2 – Personal emissions = ~5 (50%) So the remaining 50% ? – Is used “to run the country” – Its not directly in our control as individuals – Ultimately the “system” must help us deal with it – We share this part of the footprint collectively Public services, commerce, industry, shops

7. What Does Carbon Mean To Us Metric tonnes of embodied CO2 (lifecycle footprint) 1 Years Supply 10 (50) 70 (600) EU Carbon Exchange 1 tonne CO2 €0.3 01/07/07 €23.0 futures

10. Calculating Your Footprint Electricity Meter – Begin 16000 to End 18800 = 2800 units used CO2 Footprint – 2800 units * 0.43kg CO2 per unit = 1204kg Its simple primary school maths, using well known “ factors ”

11. Gas Meter – Begin 10000 to End 11500 = CO2 Footprint – * 2.2kg CO2 per unit = And Heating … 1500 units 3300kg

12. Milometer – Begin 39000 to End 55000 = CO2 Footprint – * 0.25kg CO2 per mile = Now Your Car … 16000 miles 4200kg
