Campus Travelers Giving Back

Calculate your air travel carbon footprint and support climate action at UC Berkeley

UC Berkeley’s Air Travel Calculator helps members of the campus community estimate the greenhouse gas emissions related to their air travel and make up for this impact through a charitable donation to the UC Berkeley Climate Action Fund. This fund supports critical projects to help the campus meet its ambitious commitment to dramatically reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2007, UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau committed the campus to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2014. The University’s climate action planning identifies a range of mitigation strategies for campus operations, including projects designed to change individual and departmental behaviors. Many exceptional projects have been identified and developed, but need funding to get off the ground.

The new UC Berkeley Air Travel Calculator helps you make a difference in the environment and support the sustainability of UC Berkeley. Use it every time you fly!
