The Imp
Imps are the data for the impact of an exchange - be it a product or service bought, or something given….
- Imps are the impacts of an exchange, expressed as kgCO2e
- They can be created manually or automatically, by the individual, supplier or open sourced.
- Imps build up into a ‘trace’ of impact over time
- Comparing alternatives expressed in imps would be straightforward, whether beef and chicken or train and aeroplane.
- We have devised a consistent dataset format for these - for everyone to use
