Dickinson College strives to reduce environmental impact and reach carbon neutrality. We’ve made great progress—cutting annual emissions by 45 percent since 2008. To reach our goal of net-zero emissions, we’re asking for the help of our students, parents, alumni, and employees.
We’ve partnered with Cool Effect to enable members of the Dickinson community to purchase carbon credits to help offset Dickinson’s emissions. Our members’ contributions will support a carbon sequestration project—the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary—located just 80 miles from Dickinson on the Kittatinny Ridge in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Support of this carbon reduction project will also support preservation of a globally important flyway and wildlife habitat.
