Cascadia also provides web-based trainings to prepare Chamber members on the advantages of measiuring their carbon footprints and taking voluntary carbon action, as well as step-by-step instruction on how to use the calculator.

Cascadia’s GHG footprint calculator has been a cornerstone of our work with businesses. The SCP has been told that we have one of the best tools in the country for business use, due to its transparency (all sources and calculations are cited), flexibility (pre-loaded information is available if businesses don’t have access to specific data), and ease-of-use (it’s good even for beginners—there’s a checklist for “data needed” and tips on where to find it).
