Sierra Club Comments on UR Green Initiative

We came across an entry on the Sierra Club Falls of the James (SCFOJ) blog that highlights University of Richmond President Edward L. Ayers commitment to sharply reduce and eventually eliminate  all of the university’s global and warming emissions. 

Under the agreement, the university will create a comprehensive institutional action plan to move toward climate neutrality. Ayers noted a number of new and ongoing efforts on campus to build on the university’s commitment to sustainability, including the installation last summer of laundry equipment in residence halls that will save a million gallons of water a year, use of biodiesel in campus transportation equipment and a plan to switch to a more efficient heating system in student apartments.
