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 Missouri Extension Program uses science-based knowledge and engages people to understand change, solve problems and make informed decisions. Sustainability and environment is a focus of the Extension Program and is involved in a 4-H affiliated program known as The Million Tree Project. The vision is for 1,000,000 new trees to be planted by 4-H youth across the United States and Canada and will result in offsetting greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion by absorbing and sequestering about 48,000,000 million pounds of atmospheric carbon dioxide per year. Missouri’s goal is to plant at least 22,000
new trees throughout the state.
