ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: While the majority of businesses focus on economic repercussions of business decisions, almost all Civil Engineering infrastructure projects have an impact on the environment as well. The most traditional method of analyzing environmental impacts of projects is through a Life Cycle Analysis, which tracks emissions such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) or Greenhouse Gasses through the production, construction, use, and end of life of projects. However, there are several other tools that can be used, including Ecological Footprint and Planet Boundary. These two tools are introduced with discussion on how to incorporate them into pavement design.
