complex issue and certainly it is something we have been looking at in the
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The Carbon Trust has
commissioned research on the issue and from a Carbon inventory approach the
report below is useful. There is also a lot of work going on in the UK
at the moment investigating supply chain associated CO<SUB>2</SUB> emissions
and I have recently seen an interesting model from Envirowise (AEA) – that
includes “materials carbon footprint” in business overall carbon footprint.
If you would like further information on that let me know and I’ll send
on a contact name.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

consult with the Stockholm Environment Institute who have developed a tool
called REAP. This is a powerful tool that works on consumption and production
flow and although I haven’t used it directly myself, I know that colleagues
from SEI are contributors to this site, perhaps there might be some further
discussion. My contact here in the <st1:country-region
w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region> is Dr John Barrett who is based at
<st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">York</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. The
REAP tool is being used by local government and also provides policy
indicators for assisting with policy formulation.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi. I am still working on
the draft GHG inventory for the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Washington</st1:City> <st1:State
w:st="on">DC</st1:State></st1:place> region. Is anyone aware of a
method/activity data/emission factor that could be used to develop an
assessment of CO2 emission that could be “attributed” to consumption of
consumer products? We certainly don’t have the time to do a life
cycle assessment for each product sold in the region, but clearly some (most)
of the products the region consumes cause (either directly or indirectly) GHG
emissions in their production and distribution. If anyone can refer me
to a simplified approach for such a calculation, I’d appreciate it.
