There are many opportunities for students to get involved in reducing the emissions of CO2 that contribute to global climate change. A good place to begin is to conduct an energy audit to determine how many tons of CO2 your energy consumption is contributing to the emissions of greenhouse gas. You can find a calculator at: http://www.airhead.org/cgi-bin/ah/aircalc.pl. Once you’ve determined what your emissions are you can work to conserve energy to lower your emissions. You can also purchase CO2 credits to neutralize what emissions you cannot reduce, and thereby participate in the global process of mitigating climate change.
