Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: This is a presentation not to be published to educate two freshmen and one upper-level class on understanding where numbers come from that are used in Life-Cycle Analyses. Some numbers are generated from agenda-driven organizations/individuals and are not science-based which perpetuate misinformation and erroneous conclusions.
