EIOLCA
EIOLCA stands for Environmental Input-Output Lifecycle Assessment. It is a big, long phrase that helps people understand how things we use and make have an impact on the environment.
Think about when you eat a yummy apple. Before the apple gets to your plate, it had to go through a whole process! The apple had to be grown by a farmer, picked, washed, packaged, and shipped to the store. Each of these steps uses resources like water, energy, and sometimes chemicals that can affect the environment.
EIOLCA helps us understand all the steps that went into making the apple, how they impacted the environment, and what changes we can make to make that process better for our planet. It's like doing a science experiment to learn about how we can reduce waste and protect the Earth.
