Description

This project focuses on the home and office carbon footprint of Colorado Natural Heritage Program (CNHP) staff. This project will use data gathered from surveys, and online carbon tracking tools provided by the City of Fort Collins to calculate the carbon footprint of CNHP staff. Participants will then employ behavior change strategies, which have an associated carbon footprint reduction, to lower their footprint. Our project aims to track the best strategies for reducing carbon footprints and create a framework that could be re-applied. We will also investigate the effects of Covid-19 on carbon trends in related sectors to our framework.
