Presidents' Climate Commitment
This week I found out that my school, Westfield State University, was a part of American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment! This means that the school has to follow and take certain actions in the fight against climate change. In the Commitment Text (here) it says that signatories must "Initiate the development of a comprehensive plan to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible, Initiate two or more of the following [7] tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gases while the more comprehensive plan is being developed (listed on the website), [and] Make the action plan, inventory, and periodic progress reports publicly available by submitting them to the ACUPCC Reporting System for posting and dissemination." The first two have more specific guidelines on the website. I thought it was really cool that our campus is a part of this and am proud to a part of this idea and movement!
