Community Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report

This report measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from community activities in the town of Middlefield. Its value is particularly twofold......It provides direction as to the sources of greenhouse gases and also offers comparison to similar communities thereby allowing some bench marking to take place. It has been done via the town's Climate Smart Community Task Force collaboration with the Mohawk Valley Economic Development District and the County of Otsego
