The first chart delineates energy consumption in average Australian
households, while the second chart greenhouse gas emissions arising from this
energy use.
In general, despite the fact that heating and water heating occupy a
significant share of energy consumption, the bulk of greenhouse gas emissions are
associated with the use of heating systems for irrigation and other devices.
Heating and water heating are the two main components of energy
consumption, and their share is 42% and 30% of the total, respectively. Water
heating systems contribute nearly one-third of total emissions, while other
household appliances account for 28%. Surprisingly, only 15% of total emissions
originate from heating, closely mirroring the percentage attributed to cooling. The
remaining 11% is distributed between lighting and cooling.
Notably, the combined share of energy consumed for lighting and cooling is
minimal, amounting to just 6% of the overall energy consumption in these
households.
Test 2.
The tables depict Fairtrade-labeled coffee and bananas purchases in five
European countries in 1999 and 2004.
Overall, banana sales rose in Switzerland, the UK, and Belgium but declined
in Sweden and Denmark. Coffee sales increased across all five countries.
Swiss residents notably purchased more bananas, with sales increasing from
15 to 47 million euros. The UK and Belgium also saw banana sales rise to 5.5 and
4 million euros, while Sweden and Denmark experienced declines to 1 and 0.9
million euros, respectively.
In 1999, the UK spent only 1.5 million euros on coffee, but by 2004 sales
had grown to 20 million euros, topping the list of five countries. Although Swiss
residents led coffee purchases in 1999 with 3 million euros, the figure slightly
increased to 6 million euros in 2004. Denmark, Belgium, and Sweden also
increased coffee purchases in 2004, but with modest growth - reaching 2, 1.7, and
1 million euros, respectively.
