Auburn is a university in Alabama – I looked it up – and last I checked UO is in Oregon. The game is in Texas. That’s a lot of travel. Does anyone know how to estimate the carbon impact of an event like this? I googled a bit but didn’t find anything easy.
Good question. While you are at it, how about faculty, staff, and students driving to campus? Attending international conferences? Driving a faux el
Camino?
I mostly just drive the Caballero to the Glenwood Transfer Station, to drop off my faux recycling. Now I’m off to Bring to get some used 4″ sewer pipe fittings. Long story.
We have some of these answers, but nothing el camino specific:

So UO now has a CO2 committee, and a subscription to a fee-based reporting website. Mission Accomplished.
I suspect the Ducks carbon footprint will be smaller after Saturday’s game.
Are we counting the dollar bills the UO burns on the coach(es), too?
Those are Benjamins, not singles…
Meanwhile, can anyone tell us what is the real state of negotiations with the graduate students? I really need to know when to expect a strike to occur, if one occurs.
Rumor has it the administration expects the GTFF to reject their real wage cuts, and has started planning for a strike around midterm.
They are also expecting and planning for SEIU to strike their offers of real wage cuts.
