A brief description of how the institution accounted for its Scope 3 emissions:
Business Travel - Based on tracking the airplane miles for flights sponsored by UMBC
Commuters-Based on tracking registered vehicles on campus and distances from zip codes
Waste- Based on tons collected by waste haulers
Other Sources (i.e. agricultural)- based on fertilizers
