B. Estimated cost to implement initiatives (e.g., new equipment, new contracts, or staff)
C. Cost projections after implementation
D. Social and environmental costs
E. Benefits
F. Cost savings, immediate or over time
G. Benefits over time (1 year, 5 years, 10 years, etc.)
H. Local, state, or national revenue sources for your initiative
Part 2: Matrix summary analysis
Prepare a 700 words summary of your matrix analysis. Include the following in your summary:
A. Restate your individual sustainability initiative.
