What a great idea for an assignment! Looks like it was an eye-opening exercise for everyone.

What a great idea for an assignment! Looks like it was an eye-opening exercise for everyone. Another interesting exercise would be to get multiple students to research the upfront carbon of the same thing and then see how consistent, or inconsistent, their results are. Being a relatively new form of science with limited sources of information, it seems like there is still a lot of room for interpretation on how you calculate your numbers. Mass timber is one example I can think of in the building industry which is my area of practice.
Interesting. What are your thoughts on that? With such a large variability in the results, it's hard to hang your hat on any given result. I guess it would require a deeper investigation into how people arrived at their results.

that kind of happened organically when students did t-shirts or the best was coffee, with wildly different results.
