Life Cycle Assessment with Garvin Heath – Video

Summary

This video on life cycle assessment explains how to quantify technology’s environmental impact by looking at its entire lifespan, from resource extraction and manufacturing to operation and disposal. Dr. Garvin Heath discusses how this method allows for a more comprehensive and fair comparison between different technologies, such as comparing a natural gas power plant to a solar farm, by accounting for all stages of their existence. This method can also be applied to everyday products to evaluate their total impact.
