This Implementation Guide is the "handbook" of the ACUPCC. The American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment is a high-visibility effort to make campuses more sustainable and address global warming by garnering institutional commitments to reduce and ultimately neutralize greenhouse gas emissions on campus and to accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth’s climate. This guide provides assistance on forming an institutional structure, conducting a greenhouse gas emissions inventory, and developing a climate action plan, among other things. Visit the homepage to see if your school has signed up and find out how your school is doing so far! Then you can get involved with your school's progress, but your school doesn't have to be signed up for you to join or even spearhead programs on your campus!

A Consumer's Guide to Retail Carbon Offset Providers
"This report provides a very useful overview of what carbon offsets are (including a discussion of the concept of additionality - how you know whether an offset is really reducing carbon emissions), their uses and limitations, and how to evaluate carbon offset providers. It also ranks providers existing at the time of publication (2006) on the quality of the offsets they offer."
