Carbon footprint and health in everyday time use
Abstract
Both direct CO2 emissions and indirect emissions calculated as CO2 footprint differ considerably depending on everyday lifestyles. In addition to the footprint of the health system (Weisz et al. 2020), it is also interesting to consider the footprint of health- and care-related activities in households per person and hour. For the assessment of the daily emissions of care, the analysis of carbon footprints of daily activities is useful and can be calculated by time use (Smetschka et al. 2019). The aim of this project is to calculate the respective carbon footprint for activities related to health, care and welfare. Time, and especially lack of time, determines many of our everyday decisions. Whether we walk or drive, cook our own food or buy it ready-made, play with children or do housework: we make these decisions every day. They have an impact on our environment, on our financial situation and not least on our quality of life and health. And they are also determined by the opportunities the labour market, education, income levels and health and care facilities offer us.
