| Research Abstract |
A new analytical model of environmental loads induced by consumption has been introduced. The model consists of two components : one is the hybrid LCA tool termed the waste input-output (WIO) model and the other is one of the economics models describing consumer behavior. The model has been applied to some typical scenarios of alleged sustainable consumption such as shift of transportation mode and choice of eating mode. The alternative scenarios are found more environmentally friendly than the current consumption.
