Inventory+Case+6


 * Metro Community GHG Inventory**
 * 1) //Who did it//: Metro, the elected regional government of the Portland metropolitan area.
 * 2) //What they did (and when)//: Metro has developed a "high-level" [|GHG emissions inventory] that builds on the EPA Foundation Document, using national per-capita emissions for materials and "energy" and then adjusting them (slightly) for local conditions. Transportation emissions (for people) are derived independently, as Metro conducts sophisticated transportation modeling in-house.
 * 3) //Why they did it//: First, Metro lacked the financial resources to conduct a full-blown, traditional inventory. Second, Metro wanted its inventory to provide a "sense of scale" of how the region contributes to climate change, in part to make sound decisions regarding where to invest in efforts to reduce emissions.
 * 4) //Results/outcomes/successes/failures/lessons learned//: TBD
