Figure 1 graphically illustrates the breakdown of GHG emissions from each relevant activity <br />taking place in Louisville for 2012. It is readily apparent that the building sector, on road <br />transportation, and food consumption are major drivers of GHG emissions. Note that municipal <br />solid waste results in negative total emissions. This is due to a comprehensive recycling and <br />composting effort as described in section 3.6.5. <br />Figure i.

Total community -wide emissions for the City of Louisville in 2012 were 370 <br />thousand mt -0O2e. The per- capita emissions (for a population of 18,376) were 20.1 mt- <br />CO2e /person.
