The Centro Cultural Costarricense-Norteamericano (CCCN) is working to decrease their carbon footprint in an effort to obtain a carbon neutral certification. By conducting surveys, interviews, and calculating the carbon footprint of the CCCN before and after the pandemic, our team was able to identify major sources of emissions that the CCCN could reduce to decrease their carbon footprint. Our team then developed a set of recommendations for the CCCN to follow to further decrease their carbon footprint, create a green fund for future projects, and make progress toward obtaining an ISO 14001 Certification.
