Cool Campus Challenge
UC campuses are on their way to becoming the very first university system to wipe out their carbon footprint for good.
The Cool Campus Challenge will help get us closer to achieving the goals of the Carbon Neutrality Initiative that President Janet Napolitano announced in Nov. 2013, which commits UC to emitting net zero greenhouse gases from its buildings and vehicle fleet by 2025.
From Oct. 6 to Dec. 10, all UC faculty, staff and students are invited to participate in the Cool Campus Challenge – a friendly, fun competition aimed at reducing UC’s carbon footprint and creating a culture of sustainability across campuses.
When you join the Challenge, you’ll get weekly actions to lower your own carbon footprint in classrooms, offices, cafeterias, dorms, and labs. You’ll also get to score points for your campus or department. Points will be tallied up at the close of the Challenge, and the campus with the highest point count will be crowned the “Coolest UC Campus.”
Becoming carbon-neutral by 2025 is a big, daring goal, but we can get there if we all come together as community and make the commitment. Together, our actions will make history!
