Anything
NOT referenced
is assumed to be
your own
work.
•
Copying or using other people’s work –
without citing the source –
is PLAGIARISM
•
Accusations of
PLAGIARISM
can have serious
consequences
Political solutions can also be more effective
in reduction of environmental harm than
individual choices, even if individual choices
are made on mass. For example, while flying
is one of the major individual level changes
which can be made to reduce carbon
emissions, globally it equates to < 2% of
carbon emissions, due to the low number of
people flying at a global level [37].
