Green Campus Initiative Sponsors Energy Pledge Drive
The Harvard Green Campus Initiative is asking HSPH faculty, staff, and students to sign the Harvard Campus Sustainability Pledge. The pledge asks participants to pick five actions, such as closing office blinds, in order to conserve resources in their daily activities. If more than half the people in a participant's building take the pledge, then Harvard will offset at least 10 percent of the building's annual greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing renewable energy, explained Jaclyn Emig, program manager, Longwood Green Campus Initiative.
The pledge period runs from October 23 through November 23. Last year, more than 4,000 Harvard members took the pledge.
