UT Arlington Outlines Plan to Curb Carbon Emissions

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!
