C3: Generate Climate Impact Report Using the US EPA Warm Model – Above Green

(1 point)

INTENT

To understand environmental benefits of waste reduction activities.

REQUIREMENTS

Enter data into the U.S. EPA’s WARM Model tool for all applicable material types on an annual basis, at a minimum. Generate and save report.

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES

Identify commodities diverted and waste disposed of that matches inputs of the WARM model. Collect and input weight data for baseline year/scenario and current year and answer all questions in tool. Generate report listing environmental benefits such as net greenhouse gas emissions saved (MTCE), total BTUs (million) saved, oil (barrels) saved, gas (gallons) saved and the reduction of “average” passengers cars on the road per year. The model can give a number of outputs that can be included in annual sustainability reports.
