In Georgia Tech’s 2021 Carbon Reduction Challenge, organized by the Global Change Program and the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business at the Scheller College of Business, students stepped up to propose ways to reduce carbon emissions and costs at major organizations. Summer 2021 marked the fifth year of the Challenge, which supports students in becoming sustainability ambassadors at their places of work. The Challenge is co-directed by Kim Cobb, Georgia Power Chair and ADVANCE professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Emily Crawford, a student in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, shared the second place ($1.000) award for work focused on transitioning from outsourcing composting to an in-house composting system. Dariia Yehorova, a graduate student in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, won honorable mention.
