WWU’s Footprint Achieving Carbon Neutrality on Western’s Campus

Action Plan  President Climate Commitment  588 Signatories as of October 22, 2008  Commits Institution to:  Greenhouse Gas Inventory  Data collected by graduate students for 2006 fiscal year  Includes utility, transportation, waste/recycle, refrigerants, miscellaneous  Climate Action Plan -Includes offsets i.e. RECs and composting -Does not include student off-campus travel, CO2 sequestration, embodied energy

Breakdown of CO2 Emissions

Quantified Total CO2  Fiscal Year of 2006  35,816 Tons of CO2  =703,498,496 cubic feet  =Ten Kingdoms  With Purchase of RECs  Offsets 35.7%  Comes to 23,027 Tons
