Part 1. Greenhouse gas emissions inventory
Yes
A copy of the most recent GHG emissions inventory:
A brief description of the methodology and/or tool used to complete the GHG emissions inventory:
Please see our reporting on this link. https://reporting.secondnature.org/ape/ape-public!81. This AASHE reporting is for the 2018/2019, and 2017 is within three years of those dates. We now have an automatic dashboard that generates our emissions for next years report so we will be ready for next years reporting. Thank you!
Has the GHG emissions inventory been validated internally by personnel who are independent of the GHG accounting and reporting process and/or verified by an independent, external third party?:
No
A brief description of the GHG inventory verification process:
There has not been a third party audit of this.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
We are relatively new at this reporting, we continue to get better as the years go on. I just added some language at the top, though our Green house gas emissions reporting is within the three year time frame. Thanks!
