REFLECTION QUESTION
Industry Encourage my company and/or organization to measure and manage their carbon footprint

What else can you do to hold your organization accountable to implement sustainable practices?

I asked the restaurant I work at if they measure their carbon footprint, to which they said no. It makes sense as that isn't necessarily a main focus for a company focused on profit, however I encouraged them to look into it. I don't really feel like I have the power to hold an entire business accountable for something I have no expertise in.
