In 2015, ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ produced a climate action plan that recognized ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿â€™s contribution to the current environmental crisis and set forth specific steps that could be taken for ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ to reach climate neutrality by 2035. Three engineering students doing their senior capstone sought to join in this effort by building an interactive website to encourage informed action towards better climate awareness and ideally, climate neutrality on ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s campus.
The goal of this project was to further conversation on ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿â€™s commitment to sustainability in addition to developing a tool that can be used by future groups at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ for climate advocacy. There are three main goals for this website. The first is to be a resource for all members of ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s community to easily access current carbon emissions data. The second is to provide general information to students about building energy usage on campus. The final goal is to highlight past projects that have been completed by various groups at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ which have contributed to reducing ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿'s carbon emissions.
