I am trying to assess straw in terms of its life-cycle including extraction, manufacture, transportation, use, and demolition. I am hoping to find information regarding the economic cost, environmental cost, energy consumption, and air and water pollution at each stage of straw in its life-cycle. Do you have any information that you could share with me?
