Sure, a business may think it’s green because it uses recycled paper and is located in Portland, but is it really? The only way to confidently claim green-ness is to measure carbon emissions.  There’s a unique opportunity to do that: Portland’s business can still claim remaining seats at Portland’s first-of-its-kind Carbon Footprint Workshop series for businesses, presented by the BEST Business Center and Smart Trips.

This three-part workshop series will guide businesses through the process of calculating a carbon footprint, creating a reduction plan, and offsetting emissions.  Participants will not only learn about this topic, they will do it first-hand for their own business.  By the end of the third workshop they will take away a completed, expert-reviewed carbon emissions inventory and reduction plan.
