Caregiver commuting is one of the key contributors to our organizational greenhouse gas emissions. And it is challenging to measure!
We are establishing a baseline for our current commuting emissions footprint with a 2-minute, anonymous, voluntary survey that we need as many caregivers as possible to complete by August 31, 2021.
Background
- As a sector, transportation contributes 28 percent of US greenhouse gas emissions – more than any other!
- As an organization, we estimate that Providence commuting contributes 10 percent of our organizational greenhouse gas emissions – but we are required by global carbon accounting protocol to quantify this as we calculate our footprint and progress toward becoming carbon negative.
- With the survey, we can identify key opportunities for improvement and measure progress toward our goal.
