I know many of your firms do landscape design, and I wanted to make sure you were aware of a new and pretty impressive conceptual calculator to estimate the carbon impacts (emissions and sinks) of landscape design. Developed by Pamela Conrad of CMG Landscape with grant support, Atelier 10 and an app developer, the tool allows you to calculate the carbob impact of construction, as well as the potential payback of carbon sequestration of plantings.
I know Pamela is very interested in raising the importance of this issue within the landscape design community, so if you have ideas, check out the website and get in touch. There is also a Climate Positive Design Challenge for LAs, too. All at: https://climatepositivedesign.com/
