Chevrolet is purchasing carbon credits worth up to $5 million to help 11 colleges, including the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, pay for energy efficiency-based carbon reductions. This benefits the climate because carbon credits are retired rather than used to offset the emissions of Chevrolet vehicles or operations.

It is part of Chevrolet’s voluntary initiative to reduce 8 million metric tons of carbon from being emitted — the equivalent of the annual carbon reduction benefit of a mature forest the size of Yellowstone.
