Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint is a measurement of total greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity, natural gas, commuter data, and waste generation are part of what is analyzed to produce a "tons of carbon dioxide equivalent" that can then be used to gauge improvement and compare institutions.
"Working together, we have proven that sustainable development is possible; that reforestation of degraded land is possible; and that exemplary governance is possible when ordinary citizens are informed, sensitized, mobilized and involved in direct action for the environment."
~ Wangari Maathai (Assistant Minister for Natural Resources)
