Within sociology, Warranting theory is a theory adapted by Joseph B. Walther and Malcolm Parks from the works of Stone. [1]Warranting theory contends information which is immune to manipulation by the target to whom it refers is considered more valuable than information which the target has control over.
The relatively low density of some urban and especially suburban and exurban development is too low to support efficient transit and walk-to destinations. Such low-density development is a characteristic of urban sprawl , which is the major cause of high dependence on private automobiles , inefficient infrastructure, increased obesity, loss of ...
A number of national government agencies have performed collaborative or independent research to test the reliability of the ecological footprint accounting method and its results. [84] They have largely confirmed the accounts' results; those who reproduced the assessment generating near-identical results.
This practice reduces transportation and production emissions. [41] Regenerative sources, use of waste material, and the ability to reuse are sustainable qualities of timber, thatching, and stone and clay. Laminated timber products, straw, and stone are low carbon construction materials with major potential for scalability.
The OECD’s study gives different surprising results. First, the research indicates that a higher score on the overall E pillar is not always associated with a low environmental effect by analyzing factors such as total CO2 and CO2 equivalent emissions, total waste created, total energy utilized, and total water usage.
There are nevertheless a number of definitions of zero carbon housing, particularly concerning the scope of emissions in the housing lifecycle (eg construction vs operation or refurb), and whether it is acceptable to count off-site emissions reduction (eg due to renewable energy export) or other external reductions against any residual emissions from the house to make it a Net Zero Home.

In 2008, Ning Zeng of the University of Maryland estimated 65 GtC [needs update] lying on the floor of the world's forests as coarse woody material which could be buried and costs for wood burial carbon sequestration run at 50 USD/tC which is much lower than carbon capture from e.g. power plant emissions.
