  • These tools help us reduce our carbon footprint
  • because they
  • establish a benchmark (what gets measured gets
    done)
  • can be completed at various scales (a household,
    a building or a city)
  • are a revealing exercise for a family, work unit
    or community
  • are highly inactive which allows easy engagement
  • can be engaged in a proactive way (by allowing
    us to game or propose
  • creative changes and give instant
    feedback)
  • can be used periodically much like the quality
    circle exercise is to see
  • how changes improved results (which has
    been used to transform
  • business practices for some years and is
    standardized in the ISO
  • 14000 environmental protocol)
  • can help us prepare for Carbon Cap Trading or
    other types of carbon
  • reduction legislation
