13 we’ve started to walk the walk 1.carpools 2.recycle 3.retrofit windows & insulation 4.community garden 5.replace boilers 6.geothermal 7.wind research green to date

14 5.replace boilers ‐ natural gas ‐ low-efficiency  high-efficiency  $130k spent to date

15 green to date 6.geothermal ‐ Reimer SLC  opened in 2009 ‐ $5 million  $500,000 for geothermal  fundraised from non-government sources ‐ ~25,000 sq ft  10% of total campus building footprint

16 green to date 7.wind research ‐ wind study ‐ environmental study

17 1.carpools 2.recycle 3.retrofit 4.community garden 5.replace boilers 6.geothermal 7.wind research 8.biomass heating green now GOAL: replace ~2/3s of our natural gas use
