Carbon Footprint Calculator
General Information
We encourage all travelers, including education abroad program participants, to consider ways they might directly reduce and mitigate their carbon or climate impact before, during, and after travel. It is likely not possible to completely mitigate the effects of your international travel by your daily lifestyle choices, so some students and employees may also want to purchase carbon offset credits through a reputable third-party company.
While the University does not have a single recommendation, there are several carbon calculators publicly available.
CoolClimate Network
Individuals can use the Household Calculator to estimate their overall carbon footprint as well as annual impacts.
