Flying+Carbon-Neutral

= Welcome to the SAS High School Carbon Neutral Group Page =


 * SHORT-TERM GOALS**
 * Ensuring all traveling sports teams and activities groups are offsetting their carbon travel emissions.
 * Creating a system which encourages all students and their families to offset their own carbon travel emissions (for Winter Break in the short term)
 * Providing a way for students to offset carbon bus travel emissions.


 * LONG-TERM GOALS**
 * Reduce school-wide carbon emissions through...
 * Offsetting flight emissions
 * Controlling and offsetting bus emissions
 * Encouraging members of the community to offset emissions from travel and commuting
 * Raise awareness regarding ways to go Carbon Neutral.
 * Coordinate with Eco-Audit (GSAS) to take Carbon Neutral further than merely offsetting flight emissions.
 * Help more companies to become more eco-friendly like green courier companies


 * PROJECTS:**
 * Eco-Audit
 * Climate Project
 * Winter Break Travel (http://www.mtpchina.org/index.php/english/home-map/)


 * PAST IDEAS:**
 * Carbon Footprint offsetting
 * Individual student carbon footprints
 * Done in Lab Science Classes. (Talk with Ms. Jordan).
 * School's overall carbon footprint
 * Sponsoring a Forest (at a long shot).
 * Buying trees to plant


 * BACKGROUND INFORMATION:**
 * One tree is 25 rmb, thus one forest, which is gained through 1000 trees, is 25,000 rmb. Sponsoring a forest is our main goal.
 * The average person approximately produces 26 tonnes of Carbon a year.
 * One tonne of carbon is offset by approximately 6 trees.
