Calculation of Pencil Carbon Content
The pencil weight is 4.95 g.
The pencil height is 18.00 cm.
The pencil diameter is 0.70 cm.
The wood volume is 0.57 cm^3.
The graphite volume is 6.36 cm^3.
The wood weight is 1.26 g.
The graphite weight is 3.82 g.
The pencil carbon content is 3.17 g.
The resulting estimated carbon content of the pencil is approximately 3.17 grams of carbon.
The carbon footprint of the pencil, including any fossil fuel or displacement of indigenous peoples caused by manufacturing it and moving it from the factory to the site is 1.17.
Therefore, the pencil contains a carbon credit of 2 grams.
