Carbon Neutrality Toolkit! « It\’s Getting Hot In Here

This January, a group of Middlebury students worked with the SSC to develop a comprehensive carbon neutrality proposal for our board of trustees. Since then, we’ve been working on creating a “Carbon Neutrality Toolkit.” Our goal was to provide both a template for other students’ proposals, as well as provide some thoughts, suggestions, and tips for students working on making their campus carbon neutral. It’s not a one stop shop for carbon neutrality, but we think it will be a useful resource.

We’re happy to announce that we’ve finished! Well, sort of . . . the toolkit was always meant to be a working document and we’re hoping that it will be used, passed around, added to, and commented on. In other words: evolve. Because while we have some of the answers, you’ve probably got some of them too.

Take a look by downloading the PDF of the toolkit. And good-luck!
