Scope 1 emission: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources

Scope 3 emission: All indirect emissions (not included in scope 2)
‹#›
Determine carbon emissions at each activity
Determine source of each emission
Identify measurements available for each emission and each source

Analyse:
Work out the volume of paper consumption
Work out the carbon equivalent for that volume consumption
Is it worth it?
Is it enough to just ensure you source your paper from renewable sources?
