The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product. Mass of carbon depends upon the temperature used up in these activities.
What is a greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases (also known as GHGs) are gases in the earth's atmosphere that trap heat.
1. A load of laundry washed at 60 degrees Celcius, then dried in a washer-dryer, produces the equivalent of 3.3kg of [tex]CO_2[/tex], compared to just 0.6kg for the same load washed at 30 degrees Celcius and dried on a clothesline.
2. A desktop uses an average of 200 Watt-hours (Wh). This is the sum of the average consumption per hour of the computer itself (171 W), the internet modem (10 W), the printer (5 W) and the loudspeakers (20 W). Assuming that a computer is on for eight hours a day, the annual consumption comes to 600 kWh. That corresponds to [tex]CO_2[/tex] emissions of about 175 kg per year, i.e. 1.75 % of the average annual emission of a Belgian.
3. Low-energy light bulbs use less than 20% of the energy of a conventional light bulb.
4. The standby mode electricity estimates range from about 2.25% to 5% of the power consumed while the TV is on. Most TVs today consume less than 5 watts a year on standby, which is a very small amount equal to a few dollars.
5. Boiling an electric kettle to make a cup of tea only requires about 0.03125kWh of electricity and generates around 0.015kg [tex]CO_2[/tex].
