Concepts to look into:

1. Carbon Literacy Standard
2. Silvopasture – continued meat production that produces less emissions
3. Material Circularity
4. Billion Tonne Solutions
5. Nine Planetary Boundaries
6. Donut Economic Model
7. Life Cycle Assessment – a systematic process that evaluates the environmental impact of a product, service, or system throughout its entire life cycle. (energy usage → CO2E to calculate)
8. Product Environmental Footprint
9. The five tonne lifestyle
10. The social and environmental impact assessment (SIA and EIA) model is a methodological tool that helps predict the potential consequences of a project or program on the environment and community. – important to consider when 
11. Gold Soil Standard – Catering
12. BREEAM Certification – Energy consumption within buildings
13. Material Circularity
14. Reporting of carbon – Scope 1, 2, and 3
15. Offsetting – buying into wind farms, solar farms, etc. to offset the amount of energy used

Notes:

1. Perceptions about Climate Crisis, Carbon Emergency, Climate Change – especially in communications or marketing 
2. Nine Planetary Boundaries

1. Stratospheric Ozone Depletion – CFCs
2. Atmospheric Aerosol Loading
3. Ocean Acidification 
4. Biogeochemical Flows – 
5. Green Water – water in the soil for plants to use
6. Carbon Sink
7. Radiative Forcing
8. Novel Entities – “things created and introduced into the environment by human beings that could have positive or negative disruptive effects on the earth system” – Plastic, etc.
9. Donut Economic Model

4. Greenhouse Earth
5. Troposphere; tropo – to twist, to change; a layer that changes constantly
6. Greenhouse Gases – 80% is CO2 | Methane, N2O, F-Gases, Ozone, Water Vapour
7. GWP – Global Warming Potential – how hot can it get? In comparison to CO2
8. CO2E – E-Equivalent – to have considered other Greenhouses Gasses in the emissions
9. CO2 E (Gt) – Gt – billion tonnes & gigatonnes
10. Methane emission sources – landfills, rice production (already produced in a way that is less methanogenic), wetland degradation, enteric fermentation – waste from cows and sheep, fugitive emissions – used by oil and gas industries for technical faults in oil and gas leaks, 
11. methane is stored in the soil, it bubbles up naturally, wetlands
12. N2O – fertilizer use, fossil fuel combustion
13. F-Gas – refrigerators, air conditions
14. 5000kg per year, so carbon budget per day =5000/365
15. Sending emails? – carbon emissions?
16. People and Planet University League – to measure the sustainability of universities
