A planning system for planning the landscaping of a particular piece of land in terms of carbon footprint models predefined types of stormwater management infrastructure and assists a user in constructing a plan for managing the land's stormwater according to carbon footprint. The net carbon footprint of the plan is calculated according to type-specific equations that formulate carbon embodied in the materials, emitted during the construction, emitted during the maintenance, and sequestered by the materials of the one or more types of stormwater management infrastructure employed by the plan. The user is then presented with information useful for determining the net carbon footprint or determining a plan that most closely achieves a target net carbon footprint.
