The Cool Climate Network at UC Berkeley's Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory powers the data and calculations behind Step Forward. We use only the most reliable sources for the data that power our models and tools, including the U.S. Census Bureau, the Department of Transportation, the USDA, and the Carnegie-Mellon Input-Output Life Cycle Assessment model, to name just a few. Our researchers have refined the data and models to form the most complete picture of the carbon footprint associated with all transportation, foods, goods and services involved with running a household, business, city or school.
