1. Tony Bautista CUIP Chancellor Climate Action Intern Chancellor’s Council on Climate Change http://planning.ucsc.edu/wasc/Images/arial2.jpg

2.  “An official campus-approved plan or roadmap that PROPOSES a suite of activities designed to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions from campus operations by SPECIFIC dates. It provides a comprehensive assessment of emissions-REDUCTION projects. A living, flexible document that can be adjusted in light of new challenges, opportunities or scientific understanding.” - Daniel Press

3.  Provides an GHG’s inventory  Areas that looked at  Campus Energy consumption  Campus air travel  Mobile sources  Other sources  Provides Recommendations

4. Findings-In 2007 UCSC Greenhouse Gas Inventory was 79,296 Metric tons of CO2. 1990 levels – 54,846 Metric tons of CO2 http://www.energyrace.com/commentary/what_does_a_ton_of_co2_look_like/

6.  Reduce GHG emissions to 2000 level by 2014, 1990 level by 2020  By 2050 reduce 80% below 1990 levels,  Achieve carbon neutrality ASAP http://a202.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/14/l_9c4e5a5ac9eb32b95b3d55dd252c11b9.jpg

7.  14,851 metric tons by 2014  Almost 25,000 metric tons by 2020  These numbers are not growth adjusted

8.  1. Aggressively Implement Energy Efficiency Projects across Campus  2. Setup of a task force to explore a replacement of an alternative energy cogeneration plant  3. Implement Solar Photovoltaic Projects on Campus.  4. Fund a Climate Change Budget raised by placing a modest fee on all air travel reimbursements.  5. Adopt A Policy on Growth-Related GHG Emission http://www.watthackers.com/wp/solar-panels/

9.  6. Adopt a GHG Offsets Policy  7. Implement a Carbon Tracking System  8. Support new teaching- and research- oriented demonstration projects  9. Enhance the Campus Sustainability Office to improve Campus-Wide Coordination.  10. Continue Supporting the Chancellor’s Council on Climate Change http://www.goldschmidt2008.org/sustainability

10.  Read the Climate Action Plan at steps.ucsc.edu if you don’t have that much time make sure to read the next steps and recommendations file.  Suggest comments and recommendations by sending an email to Climate@ucsc.edu  Send an email to the administration about what you are most excited about and support.  Hold the University accountable for the commitments we have made.

11. Measure 28  Measure 38  2006 Student voted to buy REC’s to offset the energy consumption of UCSC campus  100% renewable energy campus But are we? What does it represent?

12.  Purchase REC’s for.0016 cents per REC  2007 purchased 57 million RECs at a cost of $91,200  Actual cost can range anywhere from $50- $100 per CO2 metric ton when we pay only $36 per CO2 metric ton How is this possible? http://www.sterlingplanet.com/

13.  Onsite renewable  Energy efficiency projects  Local offset program  REC’s from Sterling Planet

14. Reduces campus emissions Students physical are able to see where their money goes. Students have a say on how their money is spent. 100% of the existing fee collected can go to projects Internalizing our responsibility and taking direct action with our carbon footprint No fee increase Helps us reach our commitments (ACUPCC, etc.)
