Measuring Carbon flow in terms of physical trade is quite fascinating and a very different visualisation than &#8216;pollution&#8217;. I&#8217;m thinking of ways to capture that into some tangible measure of personal <a title=\"co2e\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Co2e\">CO2e<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many wake-up stats is that the measurements are made in PgC. That&#8217;s Petagrams of Carbon. A Petagramme is 1,000,000,000,000 kilograms.

Not just a sustainable power-station on every street corner, or good insulation of your property, but all other forms of human consumption have to be legislated into local re-existence.<\/p>\n<p>So, how to re-seed what we used to do&#8230; and fast?<\/p>\n<p>Getting there?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relocalize.net\/guide\">http:\/\/www.relocalize.net\/guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.relocalize.net\/guide\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/climate.oneworldblogs.net\/\">http:\/\/climate.oneworldblogs.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite heavy reading, but very, very good; &#8220;The Global Carbon Cycle&#8221; (Amazon link) has a great selection of research papers covering most areas from anthropogenic [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pfJFK3-1s","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=90"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dgen.net\/0\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
