Purchased electricity is a Scope 2 emission, so that's not it. Gotta go with the landfill option for Scope 1.

Haha, employee commuting? Yeah, right. We all know the boss is the one causing the real pollution with their private jet.

Actually, you're right. Purchased electricity is a source of Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions because it is directly emitted by the organization's activities.

I think it's gotta be business travel. Planes, trains, and automobiles - that's some serious greenhouse gas action, right?
