1. A network-based system for managing the destruction of a regulated substance, the system comprising:
- (a) a central processor accessible on a computer network;
(b) a database in communication with the central processor, the database configured to store(i) emissions information relating to at least one regulated substance;
(ii) energy consumption information relating to transportation and destruction of the at least one regulated substance;
(iii) carbon valuation information relating to the destruction of the at least one regulated substance;
(c) emissions tracking software associated with the central processor, the emission tracking software configured to calculate and track the emissions information relating to the transportation and the destruction of the at least one regulated substance;
(d) carbon valuation tracking software associated with the central processor, the carbon valuation tracking software configured to calculate and track the carbon valuation information relating to the destruction of the at least one regulated substance; and
(e) total carbon impact software associated with the central processor, the total carbon impact software configured to calculate and track total carbon impact information relating to the destruction of the at least one regulated substance based on the emissions information and the carbon valuation information.
