Minimum airflight now and mimimum auto usage, really cuts transportation energy usage.

Carol, it was great that you put all the helpful internet sites together. Use of these website tools is a good way to encourage employees to analyze the impact of their individual activities toward commitment-support of ISO14001/Sustainability programs.

I’ve always tried to focus our attention on measuring what matters (though for many reasons beyond carbon, there are items that we all need to measure). Also, there are items a company can “control,” and other items that may be MUCH more significant, but which the company can’t control. PLUS, some stakeholders simply “expect” that you will do certain things (i.e. paper recycling) even if it is far less “important” than things you are not yet doing.

From some recent analyses I’ve seen, it makes more sense for my company to decrease employee auto commuting than it does to improve the energy efficiency of the building they work in.
