Colorado Carbon Fund

Students who were willing to take the time to fill out an evaluation on their fall 2011 GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs have helped generate a $250 donation by GlobaLinks Learning Abroad to the Colorado Carbon Fund. The money was raised from GlobaLinks Learning Abroad’s commitment to donate $1 for each evaluation completed by students who participated in its fall 2011 study abroad programs.

GlobaLinks Learning Abroad has supported the Colorado Carbon Fund since 2006 to encourage students to offset emissions from air travel, as well as build on several existing green initiatives for students studying abroad. The company makes a regular contribution to the Colorado Carbon Fund for each student evaluation form it receives. The company chose to support the Colorado Carbon Fund because it supports clean energy projects developed in Colorado. Portland, Ore.-based Climate Trust, one of the country’s most experienced offset project developers, is a third-party organization helping to select and manage Colorado’s offset projects, which include methane capture at farms or solar water heating for recreation centers.
