14. PROJECT, AT FSU CURRENT LEVEL, IS ABOUT DATA COLLECTION. 1. KEEP A DETAILED JOURNAL 2. HAVE A CONSISTENT DATA COLLECTION PERIOD EG, CALENDAR YEAR OR FISCAL YEAR.

15. CAMPUS CARBON CALCULATOR

16. METRIC TONNES OF CO 2 EQUIVALENT = CO 2 e

17. GWP GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL

18. METRIC TONNES OF CO 2 EQUIVALENT = CO 2 e

19. ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES OR SCOPES

20. TYPES OF SCOPES THE CALCULATOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGN “INPUTS” TO THE PROPER SCOPE.
