So yes, this blog is different. At this point I am not sure on how much interest there is out there for understanding the very specific calculations that support numbers such as "my macbook's carbon footprint is so and so kg of CO2e." What I do know is that information that can help answer such questions is fragmented and sparse.
My goal for this blog is primarily to promote the accessibility of information. In academia we worry too much about producing peer reviewed journal papers that few people read and even less actually understand.
I believe information should be free, but I also hope that this blog is more than just a collection of information. As I hint in my welcome message, there is too much information out there. This blog will try to give an adequate overview of the big picture with enough detail so that different visitors who may be experts can give their two cents and fill in the gaps.
Finally, this blog is meant to reach a wide audience, because sustainability is about real life and we have to find ways to use all of the knowledge that is already developed but rarely used. So in my mind, I see spreadsheets, videos, links, pdf documents, powerpoints and much more in the future. I hope you take the moment to bookmark this page, and come back often.
