| Abstract |
Catherine and her colleagues at the University of Oxford have developed two pieces of software; IMeasure for use at home, and SMEasure for use in schools and businesses. By inputting data from your gas and electricity meters, the software calculates kilowatt hours (kW.h) of energy used, kilograms of Carbon Dioxide emitted and money spent for a particular period of energy use. It's a great way to look at patterns in energy use and monitor what effects your energy-saving measures, such as a changing to energy-saving bulbs, are having. You can register to use the software online. It's free and you ll also be taking part in one of Catherine's research projects. |
| Abstract |
Band merchandise such as t-shirts and programmes are commonly sold at concerts and gigs. Mariusz and Continental Clothing supply blank t-shirts to the music industry, who then print band logos on them. The manufacturing and production of a single t-shirt results in the emission of 7-10kg of CO2, but Maruisz and his team have managed to reduce this to 700g of CO2 by converting from fossil fuel to wind power to drive their production. |
