Assigned Article: Carbon footprint
I will be working to improve the article called Carbon footprint. I would like to add to the summary how it differs from LCA (life cycle assessment) as there is a suggestion on the talk page about merging the two.

Under the Measuring carbon footprints section I would like to expand on the methods used to calculate by adding how estimates can be made on an industrial scale. I plan on also reviewing the footprint calculators and seeing if there are any additional or new ones online.

Average carbon footprint per person by country: Check for updated numbers, currently shows 2007 data with 2050 estimate.

Article Evaluation
I will be looking at the article on LEED.

This page seems up to date with several references pointing towards 2017/2018 publications. There are some areas marked as needing expansion. The talk page is small compared to what all the article covers and there is a concern over parts being bias.

Kristen's peer review by Mochen Liao
- The addition of LCA and Six Sigma is helpful for users in understanding the measurement and application of Carbon Footprint concept. - In addition, even the links of LCA and Six Sigma are provided, some extensions about how LCA used in the measurement can be more comprehensive. - The refinements of the article is well-done in reducing the personality of the article. - Some of my person aspect: I think maybe the "Indirect Carbon Emission" section has the potential to be extended to some other manufacturing areas."Thanks for the feedback, Mochen! After looking at the Indirect Carbon Emissions section, I decided that the industry examples that were under it were better off as their own section at the end. They now serve as examples for people looking to see carbon foot printing in action. I've also properly defined Indirect Carbon Emissions, as I think it is important to separate it from direct emissions. I agree that adding a wider variety of industries to the examples section, and that is now on my To-Do for this article. -KristenTomberlin"
