ecometrics
Ecometrics is the quantitative analysis of economic, environmental, and societal systems based on the concurrent development of empirical theory, related by appropriate methods of inference in attempts to create more sustainable systems. Broadly defined, Ecometrics is a way to evaluate if an activity is contributing to more sustainable systems of production and consumption. Ecometrics is a system of statistical extrapolation and interpolation that uses principles of resource management in economic and environmental studies to analyze trends in consumption. With a comprehensive understanding of ecometrics, and thereby an understanding of the impacts of specific conscious or conventional opportunity costs, agents within economic systems can cause measurable change for the triple bottom line. The term was originally trademarked by Interface Global, a corporation founded by Ray Anderson.〔Interface Global. "Interface Global" ("Definition of EcoMetrics and SocioMetrics" ), 09.02.2011.〕 The parameters that cause change are often population, technology, transportation, consumption, public conscious, non-renewable or renewable resources, location, labor conditions, transportation and wealth. Ecometrics is used in labeling programs such as the US EPA Fuel Economy and Environment Label〔EPA. "EPA Fuel Economy and Environment" ("Label for Fuel Economy and Environment" ), 12.23.2011.〕 to determine the environmental and financial advantages of purchasing one car over another. There are many applications of Ecometrics for Environmental Impact Calculators〔CarbonFund, "Carbon Footprint Calculator" ("Carbon Footprint Calculator for Individuals and Businesses" ), 10.10.2011.〕〔EERE:Energy Calculator, "Calculators for Energy Savings"("EERE Energy Reduction Practices" ), 10.10.2011.〕
,〔ECO FX:Calculatied Impact ("ECO FX Impact Calculation Formulas" ), 10.10.2011〕〔LCA Calculator ("Analysis and comparison of the environmental impacts of products and particular design decisions" ), 10.10.2011〕 infographics, and for political analysis. Because the parameters of ecometrics vary drastically for any activity, the applications of its resulting measurements are sometimes unilateral. Applied ecometrics exposes the complexity of making sustainable decisions, especially given other humanitarian goals such as third world economic development. In this way ecometrics shows any choice within consumption and production systems as wicked problems.
