Impact Assessment Plan
Carbon budget
My personal carbon footprint is just below the Singapore average. I have implemented several lifestyle choices that influence the processes and methods in my professional practice such as cycling and using public transport. Whilst the topic of my research project is large in significance, the means by which I intend to produce it are small. As I already live in the most light polluted country and city in the world, by default I have mitigated unnecessary air travel and accommodation by keeping the project parameters ‘local’.[8]

Nevertheless, I have calculated a Carbon Footprint analysis to identify areas in which I can further reduce my carbon footprint and strive to uphold the values of this project [Fig. 11].[9]
It is interesting to note how ‘Materials and Resources’ and ‘Online Media, Platforms and Cloud Storage’ will contribute the most CO2 to my project. Although the overall impact is not huge, I will endeavour to reduce it as detailed on the following page.
Total CO2 tonnes for this project = 0.7025
