Description
GHG emissions from the production, transportation, use, and disposal of the goods, foods, and services that are consumed in King County are a large and overlooked part of King County’s footprint. Residents are interested in how they and their communities can reduce their own GHG emissions footprint. King County will implement the King County Consumption Emissions Toolkit (CET) as a dynamic, evolving resource that highlights the experiences of frontline community members. The toolkit will provide resources, tips, and information to help reduce emissions associated with consumption. As part of this, King County will amplify and adapt the CET based on community feedback and needs, including translation and accessibility services, ensuring a responsive and collaborative approach that all community members can benefit from. King County will also organize and collaborate with jurisdictions to implement community workshops and outreach, and engagement opportunities focused on reducing consumption and sustainable consumption practices.
