Second Nature should seek to the universities that have more students.
The data shows that those universities who have more students will lead to the more gross emissions.
The first group of universities can be described as more students more gross.
And the second group can be characterized as less student less emission.
The third group of universities can be described as median numbers of students with high amount in commuting.
Second Nature should consider state, the student’s number, the rank of the universities and whether the universities are a public school or not When seeking a school for the program.
From the regression result, more students in universities, more emissions in the school. The higher the rank of the Universities, the lower the emissions the school will get. If the school is a public school, the emission will higher than the private school.
The data shows the total average emissions for each state are increased from the center to the east coast and west coast. These may because more universities are on the east coast and west coast than in the central area. From the appendix bar plot of the school number in each state, we can find the west coast and east coast like California and Massachusetts get more schools.
In the future, Second Nature should make more efforts on the total scope 2 and total scope 3.
Although Second Nature is doing well on gross emissions and total scope 2, still the total scope 1 and total scope 3 have a slightly upward trend.
According to the definition, the total scope 1 includes air travel emissions and buildings emissions. The total scope 3 includes commuting. So, in the future, Second Nature should make more effort on commuting, air travel, and building emissions.
