Abstract
In recent years, global environmental problems have been aggravated. Especially the revolution of our lifestyle is requested. So, we have suggested the LSA (Life Style Assessment) as the environmental load assessment method in one's everyday life, and have evaluated the effect of environmental load reduction by improving the behavior of life style. In this report, we paid attention to the environmental load caused by heating apparatus and clothes in our life. In heating apparatus we compared the environmental load, the cost, and the utility. On clothes we evaluated the environmental load of 24 products. Moreover, to do such an assessment in individual's life style, we developed the LSA software. By using this software we enabled to understand the environmental load in the entire life quantitatively and showed the effectiveness of it.
