Sustainability

What is your carbon footprint?

Summer is travel season: the open road, a summer ride across the lake, new places to explore. Please consider your carbon footprint—the impact your activities have on the environment—before you turn the key, board the plane or cast off from the dock. To start, measure your baseline using one of the carbon footprint calculators available on the RU Sustainability website. Then take your environmental stewardship to a new level and offset that number plus your travel emissions. Visit terra pass or Carbonfund.org to find out more.

"You have the ABILITY!" is a weekly reminder from RU Green and RU's Sustainability Steering Committee about how you and RU can make a difference. To find out more and become a friend of RU Sustainability on Facebook, visit the RU Green page and click on the "Find Us on Facebook" icon.
