Carbon Offsetting
... page in progress...
Reduce your Carbon Footprint!
The Green Passport Program has partnered with Sustainable Travel International (STI) to give you, the study abroad student, the opportunity to offset the carbon that you are generating by traveling to and from your study abroad site. While offsetting our carbon footprint is an important step to contributing to a decrease in global warming it is, however, certainly not the only solution. For example: Is it okay to buy a hummer with the thought that one would just offset all of the emissions? Certainly not! Reducing our emissions is the first step, so please read XXX to find out how to do that.
HOWEVER, 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 causes supported by the offsetting program managed by STI by contributing below. We will make quarterly 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 highlighted.
Thanks for your contributions and fly lightly!
