Scotland weighs in at double sustainable level
A new calculation of
เล่นสล็อต Scotland's impact on resources, from metals to plastics and energy, has found the nation weighs in at more than twice the sustainable level.
A project led by the government agency, Zero Waste Scotland, found the total weight of resources for the average Scot during 2017 was 18.4 tonnes.
The weight calculated for the average European was 14.1 tonnes.
It is estimated that the sustainable level for Europe is around 8 tonnes.
The agency said this could be because of more rural, dispersed communities requiring more infrastructure and the higher cost of insulating and heating buildings in northern countries.
Material flow accounting is a relatively new way of calculating impact on the environment, giving an alternative view to carbon accounting.
