Penn President Amy Gutmann recently unveiled the University’s groundbreaking Climate Action Plan ? The Climate Action Plan lays out detailed steps the University will take over the next few years to serve as an institutional role model in the daily application of green practices. This plan focuses on five areas of action: education, energy conservation, waste reduction, emissions control and green design.To develop Penn’s plan, a special Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee made up of more than 40 students, faculty and staff, worked for two years assessing Penn’s carbon footprint and developing long-range sustainability goals. Through enacting this plan, Gutmann said, Penn is “putting our knowledge to work and leading the sustainability revolution that will help preserve and transform the world for generations to come.”To view this article:http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/current/latestnews/091509.html Learn more about the Climate Action Plan at www.upenn.edu/sustainability.
