Figure 8.22 shows a 970-watt toaster. It weighs 1.2 kg including 0.75 m of cable and a plug. It takes 2 minutes and 15 seconds to toast two slices of bread. It is used to toast, on average, 8 slices per day, so it draws its full electrical power for 9 minutes (0.15 hours) per day for 300 days per year over its design life of 3 years. The toasters are made locally—transportation energy and CO 2 are negligible. At end of life it is dumped. Create an eco-audit for the toaster using data in the following table.
