"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Energy conservation
Eco-Mileage is…
A program designed to engage Seoul citizens in energy conservation initiatives by giving
them incentives when they voluntarily save electricity, water, LNG gas and district
heating in their homes and businesses.
The planet Earth is in dire peril due to global warming,
which is caused by the concentration of greenhouse
gases in its atmosphere. However, one solution is
close to hand. You can start by helping reduce energy
consumption, which accounts for 91% of Seoul’s
greenhouse gas emissions. The Eco-Mileage program
of Seoul Metropolitan Government will help you practice
energy saving and make the Earth a happier place.
●What is Eco-Mileage?
“Eco-Mileage” is a system of accumulating eco-friendly
points (mileage).
ECO Mileage 3
4. ●Why do we need it?
Global warming is a great challenge facing all of us!
For 100 years from 1908 to 2007, the average temperature of the Earth rose by 0.74°C
and that of Korea by 1.5°C. During the same period, the average temperature of Seoul
jumped by 2.4°C, triple the earth’s average.
Greenhouse gases are the main culprit of global
warming - and Korea is the world’s 9th biggest emitter.
As of 2009, Korea emitted 564 million tCO2e of GHG, of which 8.7% (49 million tCO2e)
came from Seoul. Unlike in other cities, 94% of greenhouse gas emissions in Seoul are
generated by residential and commercial buildings and cars. Therefore, the best way to
cut emissions in Seoul is to save energy in our homes and workplaces.
Join Eco-Mileage and begin energy saving!
In order for Eco-Mileage members to save energy and have fun, Seoul Metropolitan
Government works with energy suppliers to provide personal cumulative energy
statistics.

“I marked my energy use on the calendar every day, and eventually found myself using
less and less energy without even realizing it. Also, I ran the washing machine only when it
was fully loaded, and removed unnecessary food from my refrigerator. Three months later,
I found out that I had saved 202,000 won (about US$ 202) in total from my utility bills,
including electricity, gas and water bills.”

“I made a habit of turning off and unplugging computers when not using them. Also, I used
multi-outlet power strips to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and filled the sink with the
amount of water I needed instead of letting the water run constantly. I didn’t think it was a
big deal, but I was able to cut 363.7 tons of CO2 in 6 months.”

the heating at 18°C, which was 2°C cooler than usual. My family complained a lot at first,
but we gradually got used to it. To my surprise, these simple changes led to a saving of
16 KWh of electricity, 281 m3
of gas, and 6 m3
of water over a 6-month period. We have
cut 70,000 won from our gas bill alone.”

guardian” to lead energy-saving activities such as turning off the lights, air conditioners or
heaters before leaving the classroom, and unplugging electronic devices when not in use. It
seems that these green guardians have motivated their friends. Now, all our students turn off
the lights whenever they see them on in empty classrooms or hallways.”

15. ●Live green like this!
Put a thermometer on the wall.
● Put a thermometer somewhere you can read it easily.
The recommended indoor temperature during the winter
season is 20°C. By lowering the temperature by 1°C, you can:
▶ reduce monthly energy use by 4% and curtail CO2
emission by 230 kg per year.
The recommended indoor temperature in the summer
season is 26°C. By allowing the indoor temperature to rise by 1°C, you can:
▶ save 7.7 kWh of electricity and curtail CO2 emissions by 3.3 kg per month.
In Winter
Don’t forget to check the thermal efficiency of the boiler that you will use throughout the
season. Around 500 kcal of energy is needed to heat every 3.3 m2
of a well-insulated building,
while 600 kcal is needed in a building with poor insulation. Do you keep your room too warm
simply because you feel chilly? Why not attach a thermometer to the wall and try to keep the
temperature at the recommended level? With good home wear that is right for the season, you
can prevent energy leakage and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
In Summer
A big difference of over 5°C between the
indoor and outdoor temperature may be
unhealthy. Using an electric fan together with
an air conditioner is better for cooling.
At home
With 18 kWh of electric power needed to turn on one air conditioner, you can use 30 electric fans (60W each).

16. Pay attention to energy efficiency.
● Check the efficiency of all appliances and lights at home.
High-efficiency products seem more expensive at first,
but they are more cost-effective in the long term because
they have a longer lifespan and consume less power.
High-efficiency bulbs (Self-ballasted)
High-efficiency bulbs last 8 times longer and consume 66% less power than incandescent bulbs.
By replacing one 1st-grade incandescent bulb (97 kWh) with a high-efficiency bulb, you can save
KRW 7,100 from your annual electricity bill and cut CO2 emissions by 30 kg.
Fluorescent lights and LED
High-efficiency 26mm-32W fluorescent lamps have a longer lifespan and use less energy than
ordinary 32mm-40W lamps. By replacing fluorescent lamps at home with highly-efficient ones,
you can reduce energy consumption by 20-30%. An even better option is LED lights: the power
consumption of LED lights is 1/8 that of incandescent bulbs and 1/3 that of fluorescent lights.
Don’t forget!
A high-illumination reflective cover that reflects 90% of lamplight can help save 20-30% on electricity bills.
Refrigerators
Refrigerators are always turned on. One way of reducing the CO2 emitted by your fridge is not to fill
it. 10% more food in the fridge means 3.6% more electricity consumption. By keeping your fridge
just 60% full, you can save 7.2 kWh of power and reduce your CO2 emissions by 3kg per month.
Don’t forget!
Smart ways to use energy-guzzling fridges
• A capacity of 40-50 liters per person is enough.
• 10 less seconds with the door open: 0.5 kWh less power consumption
(0.2 kg less CO2) per month.
• Regular cleaning of the cooling coil: 2.5 kWh less power consumption
(1 kg less CO2) per month
• Placing the fridge in a well-ventilated area: 3.8 kWh less power consumption
(1.6 kg less CO2) per month.
• Adjusting the temperature setting from “strong” to “middle”: 5.1 kWh less power
consumption (2.2 kg less CO2) per month

17. In the kitchen:
An electric pot consumes 2,200W of power,
37 times the amount a laptop does (60W).
Cooking on a gas stove is more energy-
efficient and emits less CO2 than cooking
on an electric hot plate.
In the utility room:
Wait until the washing machine is fully
loaded and keep the washing time under
10 minutes. Unplug the machine when not
in use. Count on the sun and wind for drying
and disinfection.
In the living room:
When you use remotes to control the TV,
home audio and DVD player, standby power is
consumed even you even being aware of it.
In a study room:
Remember that your PC monitor is an
energy guzzler. Furthermore, by simply
unplugging your mobile phone recharger
when you leave home with your phone, you
can save 2.3 kWh per month.
Check water usage.
● How much CO2 is emitted by using tap water?
CO2 emission (g) = water usage (m3
) × 0.587 (※ 1 m3
of water = 1,000 liters)
● Finish your shower 1 minute earlier and you emit 7g less CO2!
The entire cost of energy invested in producing municipal tap water is included in your water
bill. By consuming tap water, you consume that much electricity and emit that much CO2.
Check how much tap water you use. Remember that every time you
use the washing machine, 88g of CO2 is emitted.
Remember to unplug devices.
● Use appliances wisely.
Unused appliances still consume power as long as they are plugged in. Choose a multi-outlet
power strip with individual power switches to prevent the hassle of unplugging each device.
Don’t forget!
• When gardening or watering plants: Use rinse water instead of
tap water. Put enough water at once in order to decelerate evaporation.
• In bathroom: Choose a water-saving tap and showerhead.

18. Opt for healthy mobility.
● Choose your means of transportation wisely.
Don’t give up the right to choose your preferred means of transportation, even though
there is often no other way but to drive in the city. Transportation accounts for as much as
one quarter of all CO2 emissions.

Don’t forget!
• A 25km journey via car, bus or subway incurs an average of 4,874 kg, 0.39 kg, and 0.0096 kg of CO2
emissions per person, respectively (according to the “Environment Special” broadcast on June 18, 2008
by KBS).
Shop wisely to save the earth.
● Buy local and healthy products.
By doing so, you can significantly cut energy consumption
by transportation that incurs greenhouse gas emissions.
You can also help vitalize your neighbors’ livelihood.
● Be a vegetarian, be an environmentalist.
Livestock breeding generates 24 times more greenhouse gas emission than vegetable
production (January 2008, The New York Times). Why don’t we set one day a week at
home as a “vegetarian day”?
What is wise shopping?
Whatever you buy, whether a fridge or a piece of fruit, You are the decision maker who
chooses what to buy for you and your family. As well as checking the quality, safety and
price of the products you are about to buy, you should also check where, how and by whom
they are made. This is an effective way of wise shopping to save the earth.

19. Work with Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
• Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) invest in your place in energy-saving
installations.
ESCOs recover their initial investment from the saved utility bill. After the payback period, the
amount saved on each utility bill is yours.
• Visit the website of Korean Association for ESCOs for more information.

Keep the indoor temperature under 20°C.
• By wearing many layers of thinner clothing instead of just one shirt, you can lower
your heating temperature setting by anywhere from 4 to 6°C, for example from
24°C to 20°C.
• Lowering your heating temperature by 1°C or 2°C translates as a 4~6% or 10%
energy saving, respectively.
• Winter season indoor temperature guidelines in other countries
Turn off the heater during lunchtime and one hour
before you leave the office.
• The effect of heating and cooling remains for
about one hour after you turn the machine off.
Turn off the lights next to
the window.
• Daylight comes in from the window side.
Install separate switches for window-side
lights or adopt an automatic dimming system
whereby lights go out automatically according to the level of illumination.

20. Keep lighting devices and reflectors clean.
• By cleaning reflective covers on lamps and fluorescent lights, you can prevent
the illumination level from dropping and therefore save energy.
• Put high-illumination reflectors on your lamps and you can save up to 30% on
your electricity bill.
Replace lamps in underground parking lots,
hallways and stairways with highly efficient ones.
• The lights should always be on in underground parking lots.
Street lamps and the lights in the hallways and the lights
in the hallways and stairs of apartments are also often
kept turned on. Replace those lights with
high-efficiency lights to save energy.
In ** apartment, residents worked with an ESCO company to
replace 2,800 lamps in their parking lots and hallways with
highly efficient ones, and successfully saved KRW 2 million
on their electricity bill, or one third of the total.
Choose highly efficient lights and electric devices.
• Replace mercury lamps for outdoor lighting with brighter and more efficient
high-pressure sodium lamps or LED lamps.
• Replace ventilators and pumps in the building with ones that have a higher
energy efficiency grade to cut electricity consumption by 10-20%.
• It is often found that new cooling water pumps or ventilator motors in a building
have actually more than enough capacity. Choose motors with the right capacity
you need for the building in order to save energy.
• Put power-saving devices onto the motors to control the amount of power input
according to the power load.
Name an energy manager.
• Designate an energy manager for each room or for each floor of the building and
have him/her take responsibility for maintaining the right indoor temperature
and for turning off the lights.

21. Set elevators to stop only on
even- or odd-numbered floors
above the 4th floor.
• Take the stairs when travelling fewer than
three floors and don’t push the close button
so as to reduce elevator use.
• If an elevator is set to stop only on even- or
odd-numbered floors, its energy consumption
for stopping and departure drops by an average
of 5.8% compared with when it is set to stop on all floors.
Put a light sensor on the escalators.
• An escalator equipped with a light sensor is operated only when somebody
steps on it. Put a light sensor on the escalators of your building and make
them smart enough to stop consuming energy when nobody is on them.
Choose certified high-efficiency centrifugal chillers.
• High-efficiency centrifugal chillers help you save cooling energy.
Use waste-heat-recovering ventilators.
• Ventilators with a function for recovering waste heat from discharged indoor
air help you save energy for air conditioning and heating.
• Such ventilators recover 75%~93% of waste heat from ventilation, significantly
reducing the need for high-capacity chillers and boilers.
• Equipping a 330m2
building with waste-heat-recovering ventilators will save
KRW 1.18 million from its annual electricity bill.
Put an automatic cleaner on your chillers.
• A permanent automatic cleaning function prevents the corrosion of pipes and
boosts cooling efficiency, which eventually leads to energy conservation and a
reduction of maintenance costs, for instance, chemical treatment for descaling.
ECO Mileage 21
22. Clean your boilers.
• Soot generated by burning oil or coal and scale contained in ash and water stick
to the boiler as time goes by, impeding heat delivery and lowering the
efficiency of the boiler significantly.
• Make sure to keep the boiler free from corrosion during the summer season,
and clean the boiler before and after the main seasons of usage, i.e., clean it
in spring and fall.
Adopt double-pane glass windows.
• Windows and doors are the biggest gateways for heat in buildings and houses.
Winds coming in and going out from niches lead to considerable heat loss.
• Adopt insulating windows with a good level of sealing.
• Attach vinyl film to single-pane glass windows to obtain the effect of double-
pane glass.
• Hang various layers of curtains onto windows to prevent heat from escaping.
Install air curtains on the entrance to a building.
• When the heating or cooling is on, you can save a large amount of power by
preventing indoor air from escaping outside.
Improve building insulation.
• Poor insulation of walls and roofs
causes significant energy loss.
Expand the use of new and
renewable energy sources.
• Take advantage of a variety of new and
renewable energy solutions, such as rooftop
solar cells and geothermal installation.
