If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.

UT Arlington Outlines Plan to Curb Carbon Emissions
Posted July 7th, 2008 by amanda
A new report released by a UT Arlington faculty-student group outlines ways that the campus can reduce its carbon emissions to help reduce global warming. The Fort Worth Star Telegram says that "the new report calls for cuts in electricity consumption through energy conservation or buying more green energy; increasing carpooling, walking and biking; converting university vehicles to electric power; and increasing recycling."
According to Jeff Howard, co-chairman of the UT-Arlington President’s Sustainability Committee, the school is among the first universities in Texas to craft a carbon-footprint reduction plan. Three cheers for my alma mater!
