Carbon Footprint Study May 12, 2015 Themis and Thread Introduction

What is an Embodied Carbon Footprint? All products have an embodied carbon footprint. It results from the emissions of fossil fuels burned through a product’s cycle

The Natural Cycle: Carbon is exchanged among the oceans, , ecosystem, and geosphere. This cycle has been a closed, balanced system for hundreds of thousands of years.

Greenhouse Effect: The Carbon Cycle is present in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and methane. These two primary greenhouse gases uniquely allow light to pass while capturing infra red energy; direclty impacting Earth’s atmospheric energy and temperatures.

Man-Made Greenhouse Contributions: Burning fossil fuels release hydrocarbons which have been outside the natural carbon cycle for millions of years. These emissions have increased atmospheric CO2 by 40%, raising the total atmospheric energy and contributing to climate change

This Carbon Footprint Study This report represents a good faith effort at establishing the full lifecycle carbon footprint of these products. The assessment draws from many international studies and sources in addition to any product information provided.

Report Terminology CO2e: Carbon Dioxide Equivalent is a standard for measuring and expressing the impact of The range of greenhouse gas emissions in terms of the amount of CO2 that would create The same amount of warming.

Every 1 ounce CO2e is equal to over 960 cubic inches of atmospheric greenhouse gas.
