The Carbon Footprint Project is the flagship project of Green Campus. Its purpose is to create a snapshot of the situation and estimate the number of resources consumed by the university's activities to think about the environmental impact of the university. In the first phase, the project will take place at the main campus of Ben Gurion University of the Negev - Marcus Campus, but later it will document and analyze the activity on all campuses.

1Material flow analysis – this method quantitatively monitors the flow of material and energy within a system (economic or organizational) to describe the material balance (inputs versus emissions). The application of the methodology is possible on three scales from the macro to the micro level, relevant to organizations and companies, and allows the analysis to be adapted to the unique characteristics of the specific organization. The analysis focuses on economic and environmental issues from an organizational perspective and provides detailed information for decision-making processes or regarding the use of specific ingredients or products.
