Pathfinder Carbon Calculator tool
This video is the recording of a presentation and demonstration of the Pathfinder 2.0, a carbon calculator specifically for the landscape industry. In this talk, you will find out how to use the tool to calculate the embodied carbon of your design, how many years it will take to become carbon positive, and how you can tweak it to reduce how long it will take until it starts sequestering carbon! The speaker is Eustacia Brossart, a landscape architect of CMG Landscapes and one of the developers of Pathfinder 2.0 and the Climate Positive Design challenge.
