Earth Week Series: Carbon Overview for Venues
Manage episode 361171724 series 2823203
BONUS EPISODE (Part 2 of 3) – Now that we’re a little more versed in venue sustainability, let’s dive a bit deeper and learn all about carbon. For Part 2 of our Earth Week Series we’re joined again by Brianna Treat, Director of Sustainability at Climate Pledge Arena and the Seattle Kraken, and we're talking all things carbon! What is it? How do you track it? What does carbon look like in a venue? We dig into all these questions and more, and hear all about what Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions are. Brianna explains Climate Pledge Arena’s commitment to being net zero carbon annually - ahead of the Paris Agreement. We discuss the Zero Carbon Certification, the most stringent carbon certification, which is through the International Living Future Institute. From renewable energy, to tracking merchandise and food, to offsetting performer and fan travel – we get into the weeds on carbon counting. Tracking and measuring data is not only the best first step, but a way to highlight the importance of sustainability to owners and C-suite executives.
“Overall, becoming a carbon-neutral country would involve changes in our behaviour, but these are modest compared with the changes that will be forced upon us if we do nothing.” - Caroline Lucas
