    1. Life Cycle Assessment: A simple overview of a complex process

    2. Everything is Connected

    3. Everything is changing

    4. Every process has inputs and outputs

    5. The more processes, the more complexity

    6. Life Cycle Assessment quantifies processes

    7. Four Phases of a Life Cycle Assessment

    8. Life Cycle Assessment: Reconciling Functional Units

    9. Develop a model Estimate the energy embodied in a unit (metric ton or 480 lb bale) of cotton produced (lint plus seed) Compare the total energy (MJ) required over varying cotton production strategies

    14. Cotton LCA Case Study Phase 4: Assessment/Scenario Analysis

    15. Life Cycle Assessment Case Study: Carbon Equivalent GHG of Fluid Milk
