Title:
Earth Month 2009: Carbon Offsets
Description:
Environmentalism is a global priority. That's a fact no one is willing to contest. But within the sustainability arena, there is still plenty of room for debate on how to best achieve goals. In conjunction with Ohio University's designation of April as Earth Month, Sustainability Coordinator Sonia Marcus takes on faculty members from across the academic spectrum, addressing some of the most controversial issues facing the environment, both locally and globally. These debates showcase the wide diversity of opinions that coexist within the community of environmental advocates. In today's debate, Marcus and Environmental and Plant Biology Professor Art Trese weigh the value of purchasing carbon offsets as a means to address climate change. In the past, Trese has purchased carbon credits on the university's behalf, in addition to offsetting his personal energy consumption. Perhaps most notably, Trese purchased carbon credits to offset travel to and from the 2007 Residence Challenge Cedar Point trip.
