An unique feature of Baseline Green is of great interest to those concerned with bioregional community development. That is, for a given bill of materials on a project at any scale, the program can demonstrate the resulting impact to jobs created, wages earned, industrial output, and thus overall regional economic effects. The macro statistics on the existing economy, represented through geographical information systems (GIS), can project local employment and economic impacts, and enable developers to design their projects for optimal bioregional benefit (P. I. Fisk, 2002). Conventional process-oriented LCA contains no regional feedback mechanisms, aside from registering transportation costs. Again, this kind of LCA would ideally supplement other kinds of LCA or design tools. Input-output LCA does not consider the use or disposal of a material, just its production impacts. Its reliability is dependent on the reliability of the government statistics it uses, and some environmental impacts, like habitat destruction, are not
