I’m willing and ready to join forces with other Universities. My name is David Shore and I am President of Eco C.A.T.S. which is a newly formed organization at Western Carolina University. I have heard a lot about both Warren Wilson and UNC-C in the past few months. I feel that Western Carolina is on the verge of becoming a bigger player in sustainability. I’m leading the campaign to add a Green Fee to tuition here at Western to fund clean energy technology use on campus. If anyone has information for me that could help me make my vision of a sustainable campus here at Western a reality. Please check out our website, http://www.wcu.edu/HOUSING/ecocats.asp Thank you.

Suggestions on how to bring this forward?

Congratulations, to all of you who worked on it, and most of all congratulations North Carolina – the greenhouse gas, mercury, sox and nox pollution from the proposed Duke plants is now cut in half! Now let’s tackle the rest…

I remember reading about the Duke energy bill in the Washington Post, and it makes me really happy to see the victory posting here on itsgettinghotinhere.

…and the icing on the cake is that Maryland beat the pants off Duke last night…
