| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To extend the waste input-output table, several environmental analyses of consumer behavior which include water usage and discharge were carried out. The analyses, based on the existing waste input-output model, concern the consumer's water uses, the carbon capture and storage in the soils of farmland, the accelerated usage of domestic timber, and so on. Furthermore, the consumer's expenditure on goods and time-usage are divided into nearly 40 consumption "technologies." A consumption "technology" is defined as a combination of goods and time necessary for some consumer activity. The consumption "technologies" are incorporated into the holistic consumer model under simultaneous monetary budget and time constraint. By integrated usage of this model and the extended waste input-output model, a social outlook for the low carbon lifestyle (or so-called sustainable consumption) is illustrated.
