Have you ever wondered how much greenhouse gas emissions your household's activities generate? Or how much your car generates? The United States Environmental Protection Agency has designed a Personal Emissions Calculator and an Automobile Emissions Calculator that are easy to use, and can offer insight into ways to reduce your carbon footprint and conserve energy and resources. |
By sourcing its fruit and vegetables locally whenever possible, from farms in upstate New York, Hunter's cafeteria supports reducing the farm-to-kitchen miles traveled by the trucks transporting food, which reduces fuel consumed and greenhouse gases generated by the freight trucks.
