Description

Demand is growing among the ranks of the youth for politicians to show dynamic leadership on the climate change issue. In the meantime, young adults want to enjoy living their lives utilizing the activities available to them in our society. Many of these activities involve the generation of carbon emissions.

The rationale for including 5 offsets in the package comes from the calculation of carbon emissions of the normal day-to-day activities of a student enrolled in tertiary studies. It includes carbon emission presumptions from twelve different sources including travel (train & bus), text & phone use, internet server emissions from email & social media etc, internet server emissions from streaming & music, plastic water bottle use, other plastic use, embedded emissions in alcohol & coffee, electricity consumption, gas consumption, paper use (including toilet paper), waste and finally, the carbon emissions on campus of their education.

It does not include carbon emissions from motor vehicles or airline travel, or embedded emissions in food. We can purchase extra offsets for these purposes if required.

Based on our calculations (with adopted assumptions of lifestyle), the average student is responsible for 4.67 tonnes of CO2-e per annum. Hence 5 carbon offsets will offset their annual day-to-day living impact.
