Abstract
The carbon foot print becomes big movement of the world as the “Visualization” of CO2 emission of the products. It is different from the conventional life cycle analysis (LCA) on the points to focus on CO2 and the global warming gas, to target food and daily necessities sold in a supermarket and to display to an article directly. It is aiming at reducing GHGs not only by producers but by consumers, showing GHGs on the daily goods. In this report, domestic and foreign trends about the carbon foot print, activities of the international standard standardization and main points of arguments toward the implementation of carbon foot print are introduced.
