Does the institution have a local offsets program through which the institution seeks to offset its greenhouse gas emissions by implementing projects that reduce GHG emissions in the local community?:
A brief description of the program:
The University of California, Santa Barbara strives to offset greenhouse gas emissions through various activities and programs within UCSB and the greater Santa Barbara area. The University has a Greenhouse and Garden Project that promotes the growth of pesticide-free, organic produce that can be utilized by community members. UCSB also partners with local environmental education groups in order to promote greenhouse gas reduction strategies to the public. Another source is The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) which funds projects that show GHG reductions.
