Calculate Your Carbon Footprint!

The Green Passport Program has partnered with Sustainable Travel International (STI) to give you the opportunity to offset the carbon that you are generating by traveling to and from your study abroad site. Just remember that reducing our emissions is the first step, so please ensure that you are living a lifestyle with the smallest possible carbon footprint.

What we can't reduce, we can offset by donating money (the amount is based on number of miles flown) to organizations, such as STI, that support projects that are dedicated to reducing carbon in the atmosphere.

As a community of people traveling for the sake of education and intercultural understanding, we have a significant amount of power. If all students (and professionals working in the field of international education) were to offset their flight-generated carbon emissions, we could make a considerable impact to projects supported by our donations. The Green Passport Program would like to put forth the challenge to you to contribute to the projects supported by STI in Cambodia China, Ghana, Madagascar, Turkey and the US.

To offset your carbon footprint, follow this link: http://www.sustainabletravelinternational.org/documents/carbonoffsetsgreenpassport.html

We will make periodic updates to this page so that we can track how much carbon has collectively been offset and how much money has been contributed to the projects.

Thanks for your contributions and fly lightly!
