details nameDavid Bassendine backgroundI'm working on an OU degree in Geoscience (final year!), and this website, whilst working part-time as a teaching assistant. My time in Zimbabwe several years ago was a seminal experience for me: the culture shock when I returned has turned my course and I'm glad of it. In general, happiness seems inversely-related to size of your income (and carbon footprint!). website |

It shows you the limits of sustainability, but leaves you free to decide how to spend your allowance - libertarian carbon reduction! It also highlights the most productive areas of your footprint to tackle, and the effectiveness of different actions or technologies. |
carbonprofileI live with 2 or 3 others in detached 4-bedroom house with gas central heating, green tarriff electricity (house footprint ~10t/yr). Transport by a mix of car and train. I haven't flown since 2005, and am exploring slower ways to travel, as I'm missing Africa! expertiseClimate science (ug-level) & Footprinting esp. biofuels |
