Annual Conference & Tradeshow Footprint
Client: Washington State Recycling Association
The Washington State Recycling Association is a non-profit association of 300+ member companies, governments, organizations, and individuals, and is dedicated to promoting recycling throughout the state. Cascadia worked with WSRA staff and event planners to measure for the first time, the footprint of WSRA’s 28th Annual Conference and Trade Show themed “Recycling: Reducing Our Footprint.” Taking into account transportation for the 250 event attendees, 3 nights at the Pasco, WA Red Lion hotel, and various materials consumed during the conference, Cascadia delivered a detailed breakdown of the climate impact of this important event in a presentation to attendees, the hotel and WSRA staff.

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).
