SSC Green Fund Petition
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

Forwarding this on behalf of WVU's Student Sierra Club: As it stands WVU is not taking any serious measures to better their environmental footprint aside from their improvements to energy efficiency and the creation of a campus recycling program. That is why the Sierra Student Coalition is encouraging the university to do better- because we do not want the burden of a polluted, expensive future on our hands. We want to create a green fund that would fund projects on campus, like the creation of on-site renewable energy. It is our overarching goal to reduce emissions 30% by 2015 at WVU To increase solid waste to 50% recycled (up from it's current figure of 22%) To insure that the university invests in sustainability education To construct on site renewable energy, like wind or solar To insure that all new buildings are Silver LEED certified. How does it work? A green fund would take earmarked alumni donations and invest them in a sustainable company, like one that builds solar panels for example. Than, the interest earned would go into creating a green campus project, like on-site renewable energy. We can fund our own windmills! The catch is- we have to convince the administration that this is a great idea and that people are into donating to such a cause. Current and future WVU alumni please sign and leave a comment "You must be the change you want to see in the world." -Ghandi (No immediate contribution to the fund is required.) Thanks! GOAL: 1500 Signatures April 1 Current Signatures: 42 THE PETITION! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/WVU-Green-Fund Thank you for your time and energy, Christy Christy Hartman West Virginia University Organizer 703-501-2967 chartman(a)mix.wvu.edu
