WHICH bogus carbon offsets should universities buy?

New Carbon Protocol Targets Universities (carbon offsets university acupcc)

Yesterday, American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), an organization of nearly 600 leading colleges and universities, released its own carbon protocol. Don’t we have enough of those, you might ask? There’s the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Voluntary Carbon Standard, CDM, the Gold Standard, Green-e, and the California Climate Action Registry has their climate action reserve. The thing is, all of these protocols just serve to make us all more confused, right? This protocol takes a different approach, offering university offset buyers a practical solution to the quandary of which offsets to buy.
