...footprints and life cycle analysis. These are determined on the basis of material flows. The Technopolis report also notes the importance of calculating material flows: It should be underlined that excessive human made material flows (extraction and displacement of natural resources) cause shifts in the eco-systems, which on one hand contribute to observed welfare levels,...

...carbon dioxide emissions, before it is landfilled. I also noticed that the MRF, the MBT plant and the in-vessel composter are all owned and operated by the same privately-run company. c.I can see that my waste is being recycled via the blue bin system, and there is recovery from waste via the composting system for green and food waste, but the material recovered seems to...

...carbon dioxide concentration of the inhaled air is increased, then hibernating mammals react by increasing their breathing rate. In the hedgehog, the CO2 threshold is 0.7–1.7%, at which point the periods of apnoea become shorter. Continuous breathing replaces periodic breathing at 5–9% CO2. The evidence suggests therefore, that the hibernator is sensitive to changes...
