Local Carbon Offsets
Local Carbon Offsets
PROPOSED PROJECT: The City of Berkeley passed Measure G in 2006, which calls for the city to reduce its carbon emissions. The City will soon begin collecting voluntary offsets payment from its residents for investment in local offset projects. These projects will invest this money into local programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, investment in the “Solar Schools” program is one such idea. If UC Berkeley were to join this program, it could contribute to the offset fund, and also benefit from some of the projects. UC Berkeley students could help to get this project off of the ground.
No
