What is the "Scope" of an environmental assessment performed using intuition?

The scope of an environmental assessment performed using intuition encompasses all life cycle stages because it evaluates the environmental impacts associated with a product or process from cradle to grave. This means considering the entire lifecycle, including raw material extraction, production, transportation, use, and disposal. Each of these stages can contribute to various environmental issues, such as resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution.

Taking into account all life cycle stages allows for a comprehensive understanding of the environmental implications and helps in making informed decisions for minimizing negative impacts. By focusing solely on specific stages, such as production, disposal, or transportation, one would miss critical interactions and consequences that might arise in other phases of the lifecycle, leading to an incomplete or skewed assessment.
