This is great to see campus sustainability efforts getting press! on a side note,
The UC Santa Cruz students decided to tax themselves to buy renewable energy certificates, which ended up being part of a revenue stream ultimately owned by Goldman Sachs, and not buying green energy as they thought. Its up to us as scholars to expose and communicate these kinds of things so that well intentioned students are not duped by this kind of greenwashing. The students ultimately decided to spend their money elsewhere on real carbon reductions. http://www.energynow.com/video/2010/11/19/one-schools-bad-experience-recs Dustin Mulvaney, Ph.D. Science, Technology, and Society Postdoctoral Scholar Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Mobile: 831 247 3896 Skype: dustinmulvaney http://nature.berkeley.edu/~mulvaney On Feb 13, 2011, at 1:01 PM, VanDeveer, Stacy wrote: > FYI – might be of interest to some of you on the list… > > > FYI: UNH is one of five campuses whose sustainability communications to staff > and students are highlighted in this month's "Sustainability: The Journal of > Record".
