Tracking and Reducing Transportation Emissions
To survey or not survey? How do you get good numbers of faculty, staff, and student commuters? How do you move from scope 3 transportation numbers to transportation policies and campus behavior change? Join Clean Air—Cool Planet’s Campus Program Manager, Jennifer Andrews, University of New Hampshire’s Program Coordinator for Climate and Biodiversity Education Initiatives, Brett Pasinella, and University of New Hampshire’s Campus Planning Project Director, Steve Pesci. Learn from UNH’s experience of surveying students and implementing carbon reduction strategies around transportation. This seminar was originally scheduled for Dec. 5, 2008.

Carbon Calculations 201
This webinar is an advanced discussion of the inventory process and the “behind the scenes” of the carbon calculations themselves. How does the Clean Air—Cool Planet tool relate to greenhouse gas protocols and international agreements like the Kyoto accord? Why do people talk about de minimus emissions? Where does the greenhouse gas potential of different gases factor into our reduction plans. How do you account for campus growth and long-term campus planning, while also working towards carbon neutrality? Jennifer Andrews, Campus Program Manager at Clean Air—Cool Planet, will lead a discussion on some of the more thorny greenhouse gas inventory questions.

Save the date!!! February 5, 2009, we have a full day of events planned.
Andy Lipkis of TreePeople will lead off with a talk about what campuses can do, with urban forestry and with urban ecology, to cut their footprint. Then we’ll roll out the CSUN Greening Project. A panel discussion, a meeting with elected officials, a web cast, and then an open discussion about what YOU think we can do to make CSUN a genuinely greener place.
Watch this space…!

CSUN is the most energy-independent of the CSU campuses. We have a hydrogen fuel cell (visit it…it will blow your mind), and we have solar installations. We generate roughly 25% of our own energy. That’s great!
But we still waste way more than we ought, and we can do something about it. But in order to do that, we must first do something about it. (Strange how life works…)
We can join the Alliance to Save Energy’s “Green Campus Program.” Here’s what its all about:
