A Carbon Footprint is a measurement of the total amount of Greenhouse Gases that are generated by our actions. UMBC compiles an annual Greenhouse Gas Report to measure how well the university is reducing its impact on the environment. This calculator is designed for members of the UMBC community to quickly calculate an estimation of their carbon footprint and to translate their tons of carbon into more common things like the number of cell phones charged.
The Green Buildings Tour is a virtual photographic tour of UMBC buildings that are built to LEED standards and/or certified as LEED Buildings. Users can explore the different attributes of the buildings to learn what makes them “green” and to identify what those features look like.
