Q. Can you please help me finding specific research databases to find data on the energy use of cities instead of somewhere I randomly search?

Hello, I am a student attending Stony Brook University and I had a question concerning doing research on the Stony Brook database. I am trying to find specific data (CO2 emission/year, energy use/year, total waste generated, etc.) for cities. If it does not trouble you, can you please tell me what specific sources to use that would be helpful to search instead of doing random searches because I am under a time limit. I would really appreciate any advice or tips you can offer.

The EPA.gov (link listed below) website features a number of tools for discovering CO2 emissions of locations and facilities.

Evirofacts (link listed below) is a useful tools that enables you to discover data by location on a range of environmental impacts.

If you need in-depth research assistance contact me -- I am the Sustainability Studies subject librarian. My contact information is on the Sustainability and Environmental Studies page listed below.
