Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2011 Strategic Plan)

Fulfilling our obligation to the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) requires significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from Hampshire’s own fleet of vehicles and from commuters onto campus. We will enact a series of initiatives to modify the physical plant of the College and to provide incentives for seeking sustainable forms of transportation.

Please include your thoughts on the importance of the initiative, how to frame the issue, things that may be missing, and any additional comments here (you can do so by logging into Hampedia and clicking edit):


 * Vehicles aren't the only source of emissions. An initiative (student-led!) to move as much electricity production as possible into sustainable power sources on campus might be a good idea. And why did that solar trailer on the lawn never get turned on? It was brilliant. Ellen Green
 * This is definitely an important issue. The above description is very vague, however.  What kinds of initiatives and incentives are we talking about?  Rebecca Thomas, F'07
