Abstract

After several attempts to get world nations in agreement about the global warming menace and how the topic required immediate attention, the COP21 held in France (2015) ended with a clear pipeline to measure warming emissions after executing production processes. Although the strategy is full of flaws regarding mechanisms to assure the integrity of the reported data, it seems like consciousness has emerged in the head of leaders and entrepreneurs. Yet, in COP21, the warming emissions continue to be considered the sole responsibility of massive production, and the need to care for the planet has not spread to citizens. Such perspective leads the individuals to a passive role that, due to the growing number of humans globally, results in unnoticed individual emissions that conglomerate to reach enormous proportions. This paper describes an early implementation of ISO 14064 and ISO 14046 regulations that involve individuals in the care of the planet and is intended to cover a need with worldwide implications.
