Use the numbers presented to determine the following: i. If we are currently recycling 30% of our waste, how would you explain the improvement using the ladder? ii. Our carbon emissions are down by 8% year on year. Explain how this is good or bad relative to our targets. iii. We made a creditable improvement in switching to Renewable Energy Sources. How will this affect our score in that particular objective (i.e. from . to ..)? iv. Our consumption of fresh water did not reduce at all since last year. What is our score in that criterion?

v. Given the above information, calculate our current year's performance to find out to what extent we have been successful in improving, on balance.
