Consumption -based Emissions <br />Traditionally, cities measure GHG emissions through geographic -based <br />inventories. These inventories estimate emissions directly tied to actions <br />taken with the physical Pleasanton boundary, such as from the burning of <br />fossil fuels to power vehicles and buildings. <br />These traditional inventories do not tell the entire emissions story, <br />however. Services and goods purchased within Pleasanton also carry an <br />upstream GHG emissions impact, such as emissions produced through <br />the production and transport of fuels, food, and construction materials. <br />Efforts to reduce overall consumption or transition to less carbon - <br />intensive goods and services are crucial components of an overall climate <br />mitigation strategy. <br />The City measured the following sources of carbon pollution in the 2017 GHG emissions inventory: <br />■! <br />BUILDInGS & EnERGy <br />Sacramento Oakland 1,, Stockton JO11' <br />y <br />s, !mow <br />TRAnsPORTATIOn & LAnD USE <br />WASTE AnD WASTEWATER <br />Buildings and energy, including residential, Transportation and land use, including fuelsWaste and wastewater, including community <br />commercial, industrial, and municipal electricity for community and municipal vehicle travel (e. g., solid waste generation and decomposition, and <br />and natural gas use. passenger vehicle, commercial vehicles, off-road wastewater generation and treatment. <br />vehicles). <br />
