Eugene Climate Plan 2010 Mock-Up/Sector 3 - Consumption and Solid Waste
From Eugene Neighbors
This working page is part of the Eugene Climate Planning project, an independent pubic interest consulting project intended to provide background technical analysis in support of the official Eugene Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP) project. Comments are appreciated — please log in and use the "discussion" tab.
This is part of an expanded technical version of a mock-up carbon budget constructed from broadly accepted mainstream numbers, using a minimum of assumptions. The carbon budget starts with the official City of Eugene greenhouse gas emissions inventory of 2007, and factors in official population projections, with levels simply adjusted to meet the State of Oregon adopted emissions reduction targets.
As well as providing a concrete reference projection of mainstream climate planning targets, this carbon budget may also help illuminate the linear implications of basic facts and choices already made and acknowledged by state and local elected officials.
