Measuring Environmental Benefits Calculator (MEBCalc 's') <br />Jeffrey Morris, Ph.D., Economist at Sound Resource Management in Seattle, has developed a <br />calculator that begins with the EPA's WARM calculator and expands upon it to gather <br />information on not just carbon and CO, but also several other important environmental and <br />human health indicators. Although not yet widely used, this calculator shows the significant <br />benefits that WARM does not consider. <br />For more information about the process of measuring the environmental benefits of waste reduction, visit <br />httu : / /eua.00v /climatech all ooe/wvcd /waste /measureehe.h trnl #click <br />The MEBCaIcT °' model expands and shows the benefits other than just energy savings and carbon <br />savings. Recycling materials with zero waste in mind recognizes not just the value in the resource <br />itself, but the contribution to the health of the conununity when materials are kept out of landfills <br />and incinerators, avoiding the toxic and carcinogenic emissions. <br />10 <br />2006 <br />2007 <br />2008 <br />2009 <br />2011 <br />1 2012 <br />2013 <br />Total Recycling <br />3,441 tons <br />3,682 tons <br />3,556 tons <br />3,281 tons <br />3,322 tons <br />3,243 tons <br />3.173 tons <br />3225 tons <br />Carbon Dioxide <br />9,4373 <br />9,619.0 <br />9,683.5 <br />8,814.0 <br />8,739.3 <br />8,425.1 <br />8100.2 <br />8478.7 <br />Equivalent <br />Reduction <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />metric <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />(eCO� <br />Human Health <br />Carcinogens <br />19 metric <br />1.9 metric <br />1.9 metric <br />19 metric <br />19 metric <br />2.0 metric <br />1.8 metric <br />1.9 metric <br />Reduction <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />cBenzcnc <br />Human Health - <br />Non- Carchlogm <br />4,609.7 <br />5,253.0 <br />4,665.7 <br />4,452.0 <br />4,518.0 <br />4,699.6 <br />4.375.0 <br />4280.1 <br />Toxins Reduction <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />eToluene <br />Human Health <br />Particulates <br />4.4 metric <br />6.6 metric <br />4.2 metric <br />4.4 metric <br />4.8 metric <br />5.9 metric <br />5.1 metric <br />4.2 metric <br />Reduction <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />tons <br />ePM2.5 <br />Acidification <br />Reduction 126.9 <br />tons <br />27.0 tons <br />27.3 tons <br />25.3 tons <br />25.5 tons <br />27.1 tons <br />24.3 tons <br />25.7 tons <br />(es( <br />For more information about the process of measuring the environmental benefits of waste reduction, visit <br />httu : / /eua.00v /climatech all ooe/wvcd /waste /measureehe.h trnl #click <br />The MEBCaIcT °' model expands and shows the benefits other than just energy savings and carbon <br />savings.
