Bonneville Environmental Foundation is an environmental nonprofit based out of Portland, Oregon for nearly 25 years. They support various projects across the country to help businesses and organizations reduce their carbon impact and balance their emissions.
Among other items related to BEF, Heather will discuss the BEF household calculator -so that we can calculate our own carbon emissions. BEF also has calculators for business and flights.
Regarding carbon projects, BEF has become more sophisticated in their projects. Since the carbon market is continually improving methodologies as well as the technology to track offsets and project impact, BEF continues to evolve. These methodologies refer to the science and math behind a certain carbon offset, like what a landfill needs to do create a landfill gas sequestration project.
