What is a Carbon Footprint? A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated through the direct or indirect operation of a business or organization (e.g. school). SCOPE 1 and SCOPE 2: Easiest to measure Greatest potential $$ savings if reduced SCOPE 3: Can be harder to quantify Indirect emissions generated off- premises (e.g. commuter travel)

Why Care About EPS’ Carbon Footprint? Can help you identify areas where GHG emissions can be reduced in a feasible and cost-effective way. An effective method to communicate the Board’s sustainability efforts using a concept that the public understands. Is an excellent resource to teach environmental concepts to students. Works with the ecological literacy component of the Eco-Schools program Complements the province’s ‘Acting Today/Shaping Tomorrow’ environmental education framework

EPS Carbon Footprint Data from AMDSB

EPS Carbon Footprint Calculation Methods A respected and internationally-recognized set of tools for calculating organizational greenhouse gas emissions Used for all GHG emissions except emissions from waste A non-profit organization that has developed a set of location- specific GHG calculation tools for educational institutions Used for waste-related EPS greenhouse gas emissions

EPS Carbon Footprint: Results Tonnes 37.5 Tonnes 51.9 Tonnes EPS’ Carbon Footprint

EPS Scope 1 Emissions (Fuel + Energy Combustion) Scope 1 emissions… … are the largest component of EPS carbon footprint (over 50% of total emissions). … have remained largely unchanged over the past three years. … are closely linked to outside temperature, as the majority of Scope 1 emissions are consumption of natural gas for cooling/heating. * Buses only account for about 16% of EPS’ Scope 1 emissions.

EPS Scope 2 Emissions (Electricity) Scope 2 emissions… … are the second largest component of EPS carbon footprint (approx. 25% of total emissions). Because much of Ontario’s electricity comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), GHG are created in the generation of that power. These Scope 2 emissions are attributed to the electricity consumer. … have decreased by almost 16% over the past 3 years. Energy conservation and awareness efforts at EPS have increased. Student enrolment has declined by about 15% over the past three years. Why the decrease?

EPS Scope 3 Emissions (Indirect Sources) Scope 3 emissions… … are the smallest component of EPS carbon footprint (approx. 18% of total emissions). Waste-related emissions will decrease significantly in the footprint due to an aggressive waste reduction campaign that has reduced EPS waste by almost 50%!

Communicating Carbon Footprint to the Students In addition to the comprehensive carbon footprint report, we have created a student- friendly version to communicate the results to the kids.
