Researchers from UC San Diego reimagined the academic calendar through a study examining energy reductions by shifting the end of fall term to align with Thanksgiving break. If implemented at all undergraduate UC campuses, this strategy would produce a significant reduction of nearly 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in the annual carbon footprint of the system, an impact approximately equal to decarbonizing all UC-owned vehicles.
