The document discusses using a carbon calculator tally sheet to track different categories of potential carbon emissions from a school and estimate emissions reductions from actions taken.

The tally sheet is used to track a school's carbon emissions from various sources, both before and after taking actions to reduce their footprint, in order to estimate emissions savings.

The tally sheet tracks potential emissions from classroom lighting, energy vampires, appliances, transportation, heating, trash, paper, plastic bottles, and beverage cups.

What does it mean?


Through your actions to reduce your carbon footprint, your school could save

0 pounds of CO2 emissions per year.

This is the same as:

The CO2 emitted by driving a car

miles.

The CO2 emitted running a lightbulb for

hours (using standard U.S. electricity mix).

The CO2 sequestered by

tree seedlings grown for 10 years.
