BackgroundIn the fall of 2007, Chancellor
Bunnell created the Sustainability Task Force to achieve
the goals set forth in the Chancellor's Climate
Commitment as well as other campus sustainability
issues.
Short Term Goals:
- Evaluate the sustainability initiatives set
forth by the UWSP Sustainability Committee and
determine which should continue and which should be
phased out.
- Select at least two of the tangible actions from
the ACUPCC Implementation Guide by November 15, 2007
and create a plan to have them implemented by
2009.
- Complete a greenhouse gas inventory by
September, 2008 as outlined in the ACUPCC
Implementation Guide.
- Establish a climate neutrality action plan and
take some immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
- Make UWSP’s climate action plan, inventory, and
progress reports publicly available.
Submit yearly reports to me.
Long Term:
- Identifying methods to integrate sustainability
into the curriculum
- Develop a climate action plan and initiate two
or more of the seven tangible actions described in
the Commitment by September 15, 2009
