Previous project name: Charge True Costs to Campus Users including Carbon Offsets
Previous project description: Several externalities exist for campus operations and business practices, and these are not fully captured in the every-day cost charged to campus users. For example, purchasing an item from the iBuy system does not include the cost of disposal for that item in the future.
iSEE is working with the Purchasing Division to publish a Request for Proposals (RFP) to purchase carbon offsets. These will include replacement offsets for the 2015 Carbon Credits (CCs) sold, and an option to purchase an additional 10,000 CCs to start an internal virtual storeroom for voluntary departmental offsets.
Evan De Lucia and Allan Stratman agreed to fund Nishant Makhijani for the Spring [2015] semester and allocate $750k to the RLF Program.
