Strategies and Actions Food and Consumption What Are We Talking About? The strategies and actions listed in this section represent a starting place to address consumption - based emissions related to goods, food, and services. The consumption -based inventory for San Mateo County found in Chapter 5: Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventories, Consumption -based Inventory section, includes emissions from the six categories in the chart below. Actions designed to reduce consumption -based emissions are intended to supplement actions already included in our generation -based inventories, not replace them. What Are We Trying to Achieve? Addressing consumption -based emissions is a new category for Redwood City. Since we haven't yet determined what kind of strategies we will develop, what kind of actions we will take and how we will quantify the emissions reductions from our actions, in the near term we plan to work on ways to track our progress using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As we move forward, we will evolve our goals and develop strategies and performance measures based on lessons learned. We can use the Urban Sustainability Directors Network (USDN) Sustainable Consumption Toolkit as a resource.53 City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan 59 Vehicle fuel production Transportation Vehicle fuel Motor vehicle manufacturing and repairs Air travel Electricity Energy indirect Buildings Natural gas Construction Waste Cereals Grown and distributed within San Fruits/vegetables Food Mateo County Dairy Meat Other food Small appliances and entertainment equipment Purchased goods Manufactured in San Mateo County Clothing Home furnishings and large appliances Other goods Healthcare Education Services Services accessed in San Mateo Entertainment and Recreation County Financial Services Information and Communication Miscellaneous Waste Composting N/A Recycling What Are We Trying to Achieve?
