Carbon Labeling:

Helping You Make Informed Decisions Impacting Climate

As awareness of the dangers of climate change increase, purchasers and consumers of goods and services are interested in becoming better informed regarding the impact of their choices. Carbon labeling can help educate purchasers and allow them to make more informed choices.

This site suggests the approach of performing an energy accounting (EA) analysis upon the product in question, and then to convert the source types and quantities of energy into carbon emission figures. IT might only be possible to report the incremental carbon emissions produced, but this is a more rigorous and verifiable procedure.

This site is to help inform the public regarding need for labeling carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions on consumer products.
