"Earth Givers has teamed up with the University of Florida to create the needed carbon reductions to offset this years 2008 Gator home football season. Earth Givers has developed a unique model to offset game day carbon emissions created by collegiate sporting events, and the University of Florida will be the first university in the nation to be "carbon neutral" for the entire season.

What makes this program unique is that the majority of the carbon offsets will be created in the Gainesville area and not in some distant country such as China, India, or Brazil. This local approach will help educate participants about the project's objectives and provide a sense of accomplishment at the local level. The emissions will be neutralized for each game through activities such as compact fluorescent light exchanges, local reforestation projects, UF photovoltaic projects, and purchasing methane recovery through GRU."
