Earth Month 2009: Carbon Offsets
Loading...
Uploaded by ohioweb on Apr 1, 2009
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.

This whole "movement" and "debate" is based on a false premise, because the earth is NOT warming from human activity. STOP this stampede which is to make fat Alberto Gore richer than he already is.

Oh yeah, there's potential for misuse, but it's a good idea. Best case scenario is to reduce as much as you can and offset the rest.
