Carbon Output Index (CLOSED FOR THE TIME BEING)

[Syleru]

I would like to argue that this index is fundamentally flawed. This takes only the base numbers, and does not calculate on a per capita basis. This makes it far more difficult for large nations like mine. Considering this, my nation is actually roughly as efficient as Ulvena or Aazeronia- btw, if cars are banned, why are efficent ones making a 'comeback?' How does your logistics structure even work without cars and trucks?

It's also ridiculous that the Index relates environmental quality to the rejection of capitalism.

(OOC: Remember, we're a little 'biased' toward the environment. We like to emphasize certain details more, just flow with it. )

Anollasia has received the Low Carbon Economy grade and pollutes about 5600 thousands of metric tons of carbon annually.

Tyresia, the main reason Radiatia is more polluting (to our disgust) is because of their grossly inflated population and their strict anti-environmental policies. Why you would WANT to be more polluted than them baffles us at SCOI.

Regarding population, we have a RP population of 150 million. Would that affect my rating?

Yes. This is because pollution ramps up with increasing population. A nation with 100 million and 2 cars per person would pollute less than a nation with 1 billion and 0.4 cars per person, assuming they have the same statistics in other categories.

Then is it possible for you to re-evaluate the Carbon Output Index of Tuthina with this population? Thank you.

[YellowApple]

Yellowapple has inconclusively (since we aren't that advanced yet, nor are we ponies) received the Carbon Neutrality grade and pollutes 0 thousands of metric tons of carbon annually.

YellowApple, Inc. is surprised that - given that we actually harvest greenhouse gases out of the sky to build everything and outlaw the combustion of anything that produces greenhouse gases - we're rated at any number greater than negative. However, we do appreciate the analysis and rating.

[Nui-ta]

Residential Output

This is the output of the residents within your nation, and covers topics like individual recycling, how efficient are they with lighting and do they buy disposable or reusable products in stores.

What is the population of your nation? We just hit 21.5 million.

Where do most people live in your nation? (Skyscrapers, hi-rises and etc) Small houses or apartments. Skyscrapers are not common here. They're largely considered an eyesore. Cities tend to expand OUT, not UP.

Where do most people put their trash? (Compost, recycling, garbage bags and etc) Much of Nui-ta's trash gets recycled, and the government encourages people to make composts for their food waste. Things that can't be recycled, like broken furniture or cars, are usually scrapped down to the bone and shelled for parts/wood/etc. Very little actually ends up in a landfill.

Do most people use disposable or long-lasting products? Long-lasting.

How many cars per person; what is the most common fuel source for a car? Most people in Nui-ta do not own a car. Only the very rich do so, and it tends to be a hybrid car (part electric, part gasoline) (due to government regulations...). Cars are not a necessity here anyway, as the country is very pedestrian friendly and also has a large public transport system which, in all honesty, makes the use of a personal car pointless. Biofuels are a booming industry.

What type of lighting does an average person use; and how long a day do they use it for? Electric lighting, although most stores only sell LED lights and florescent lights, as incandescent traditional bulbs are a waste of energy and LED's work better anyway. The country is close to the equator, so we don't have long nights and therefore don't need the lights on as much. Maybe 4-5 hours at most.

What is most commonly used to heat a home? As Nui-ta is a very warm country, it is inapplicable to have a heating system in most people's houses. You'll want air conditioning instead...Much of Nui-ta is coastal, so even though it is warm, the coastal climate provides natural cooling and houses are simply built to have efficient ventilation. Inland, where the coastal climate doesn't reach, green air conditioners are in place. Most people carry around paper fans and the rainy season cools down the entire nation significantly. Even rich households have a switch rather than automatic hot water. The switch turns on a heater to make the water warm within 10 minutes, and when you're done with the hot water, you turn the switch off so that the heater doesn't keep running all day. These are uncommon though, as it's hot enough where people largely prefer lukewarm or cool water to boiling hot water.

How efficient (energy-conserving) are your people with everyday tasks; what are some things your people do that is efficient? Children are encouraged to bring in paper and plastic recyclables from their home to school for disposal, and are rewarded for doing so. Police cadets are put on duty to ticket people for littering. Recycling and trash bins are frequently available. In rural areas, strong, heated spices are rubbed unto plants as natural deterrents from insects and rabbits (ever seen a rabbit eat chili powder? Hilarious, doesn't kill the rabbit, and chili powder is eco friendly). Respect for the landscape is an inherent value of the people in Nui-ta.

Do your people emphasize needs or wants more? Needs. Definitely needs.

How much water do your people use on an average day? A half a gallon on average per person a day for drinking, and 4-5 gallons a day for household chores and hygenic activities. This is an average household. We're by the ocean. Water is everywhere.

Do your people actively help environmental causes like planting forests? Oh yes. If you cut down a tree, it is expected that you plant other trees in its place somewhere else. There are actually some places in Nui-ta where the forests have overgrown...

Government/Corporate Output

This is the output directly or indirectly caused by the government and corporations. It covers direct carbon topics like power, carbon offsets, banning diesel vehicles and indirect ones like fuel taxes, carbon credits and making corporations liable for their outputs economically.

Largest producer of energy? (Solar, Coal and etc) Wind and electricity.
Does your nation utilize carbon capture and storing or direct air capture? Carbon capture.
Does your government encourage carpooling, bicycling or public transit? As I said earlier, personal cars are largely pointless here. Public transit is huge here. Bicycles and such are common in rural areas.
How strictly does your government regulate industrial pollution/waste? VERY strictly. Which is why Nui-ta is a largely agricultural nation...business doesn't like us.
How does your government dispose of it's waste/garbage? Same way the people do. Recycle as much as possible.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent? Yes. About 10-15 percent of Nui-ta is dense forest or jungle. Much of this is government protected.
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use? Gasoline is being phased out for airplanes in favor of electric power, but this is still in development.
Does your government utilize carbon credits; do they apply to corporations? No.
Does your nation use ocean fertilization, bio-charcoal or enhanced weathering to mitigate carbon? No, actually. We'd like to but we aren't advanced enough yet.
Internationally, how active is your nation in environmental talks? VERY. We used to be the head nation of the Humanitarian League Environmental Council, and still have talks within Noctur at least once a year for environmental nations.
Has your government made reforestation or afforestation attempts? Not necessary. We've got enough where the forests are actually starting to get out of control.
How safely is hazardous material disposed of? Incinerated in closed spaces by the government. Very safe.
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? In the cities, 2-3, due to the occasional contaminant. In rural areas, it is so clean that you can drink spring water right from the source and not die, so 1. Possibly 0.
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them. There is a 2% tax on gasoline.
How much mining is done by your nation? There used to be a lot of mining done in the northeast, but this is going down. Many mines are shutting down completely.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste? Very strictly. Your company can be outlawed for being too wasteful.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%); how much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%); how much for industrial use(%)? 15% of Nui-ta is largely untouched. 30% of Nui-ta is urban/residentual. 5% is industrial. The remaining 50% is all agricultural and farming.

It's impossible to harvest every greenhouse gas out of the sky. Waste to energy also still pollutes carbon. Your population is also massive, and produce about 0.3t of carbon dioxide each year, so that's 0.3 x 3 000 000 000 = 900 000 000. Divide that by 1000 is still 900 000tmt annually. You also don't have trees in your little paradise so we can't use forests to offset.

[Demirysis]

Residential Output

This is the output of the residents within your nation, and covers topics like individual recycling, how efficient are they with lighting and do they buy disposable or reusable products in stores.

What is the population of your nation? Approximately 4.92 Billion
Where do most people live in your nation? (Skyscrapers, hi-rises and etc) The average home in the UFD is a three story, twenty room suburban home.
Where do most people put their trash? (Compost, recycling, garbage bags and etc) People recycle recyclables and trash trash.
Do most people use disposable or long-lasting products? Demirilyns strive for quality - most tangibles tend to last a while, but become obsolete if technology.
How many cars per person; what is the most common fuel source for a car? Most families have four cars. The most common fuel is Algae Biodiesel, for economic purposes.

OOC: I see we are not on the Op.

This is upsetting, but I assume it is due to our carbon output, which exceeds your lowest rating, correct?

Perhaps there needs to be a new low..

(OOC: Apologies. I skipped over the black font. We'll make a new category for you ^^.)

OOC: Yaaay!

Thanks. Your good at this, keeping up with it and whatnot.
