the concern was that traditional offsets would not meet the need for education and connection in students who were travelling.&nbsp; plu sought the help of an organization that is redefining the false concept of offsetting one\u2019s carbon footprint by reframing it as \u201consetting\u201d, earth deeds. their focus is increasing <em>carbon consciousness<\/em> by providing tools to measure, manage and reduce our ecological impact and support community-based sustainability projects. such projects are not necessarily certified by a third party nor are they measurable in terms of carbon neutrality. rather, the projects have a meaningful and positive environmental impact on the local community.<\/p>\n<p>students calculate their individual carbon footprint, offset a portion, and then onset to a sustainability project in a community that plu students are affiliated with.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>learn more about how plu is trying to achieve carbon neutrality on its campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4902,4900,4895],"tags":[767,561,144,1385,3317,4512,81,1023],"storyfest_categories":[],"class_list":["post-13144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-colleges-education","category-green-living","category-transportation","tag-carbon-footprint","tag-climate-action","tag-climate-change","tag-co2","tag-pacific-lutheran-university","tag-study","tag-sustainability","tag-travel"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- this site is optimized with the yoast seo plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>aligning carbon neutrality goals with educational mission: onsetting - planet forward<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/planetforward1.wpengine.com\/story\/aligning-carbon-neutrality-goals-with-educational-mission-onsetting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_us\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"aligning carbon neutrality goals with educational mission: onsetting - planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"learn more about how plu is trying to achieve carbon neutrality on its campus.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/planetforward1.wpengine.com\/story\/aligning-carbon-neutrality-goals-with-educational-mission-onsetting\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"planet forward\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/planetforward.org\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-03-13t20:33:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-03-07t19:36:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"barbara clements\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@planet_forward\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"barbara clements\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/planetforward1.wpengine.com\/story\/aligning-carbon-neutrality-goals-with-educational-mission-onsetting\/#article\",\"ispartof\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/planetforward1.wpengine.com\/story\/aligning-carbon-neutrality-goals-with-educational-mission-onsetting\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"barbara clements\",\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/676410519c80bbb94821fda9d88b39f7\"},\"headline\":\"aligning carbon neutrality goals with educational mission: onsetting\",\"datepublished\":\"2014-03-13t20:33:56+00:00\",\"datemodified\":\"2023-03-07t19:36:16+00:00\",\"mainentityofpage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/planetforward1.wpengine.com\/story\/aligning-carbon-neutrality-goals-with-educational-mission-onsetting\/\"},\"wordcount\":262,\"commentcount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"\/\/www.getitdoneaz.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"carbon footprint\",\"climate action\",\"climate change\",\"co2\",\"pacific lutheran university\",\"study\",\"sustainability\",\"travel\"],\"articlesection\":[\"colleges &amp;
