The Implications of a Specific ‘Regular Activity’
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) has been used in many ways;
Examine Energy Systems and evaluate the Relative Costs of Products but products exist because of a need or desire, which is usually part of fulfilling another activity. For example, we have electric drills because we need fast accurate holes for some other reason. This assignment is concerned with an examination of a common regular activity that you, as an individual, undertake, with due regard to all the implications of that task…..the resources, the energy, the objects, infrastructures and systems utilised.
Products are a means to an end! The need comes first, and we need to understand the need being satisfied, and the activities and infrastructures involved in achieving our goals. This is your chance to explore such an activity.
