I am part of a team trying to reduce the carbon footprint of Colorado State University to zero by 2050 (including 100% renewable energy by 2030).
University-funded air travel is the third largest component of our footprint (electricity & natural gas are 1 and 2). We are working on a program to reduce and offset air travel, and would love to hear ideas and language that we can share with our campus community to help in this effort.
Not a researcher – a facilities engineer/sustainability professional at a large land grant university working to reduce our footprint.
