EnergyEmissions generated as a result of
energy consumption (including both electricity and heating/cooling) represent
the majority of Wesleyan's greenhouse gas emissions. To neutralize these
emissions, we will have to:
- reduce energy use as much as possible, through behavior change
initiatives to encourage conservation and upgrades to more efficient
buildings, infrastructure, and appliances;
- generate our own energy from renewable and carbon neutral energy
sources - like solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, and biomass;
- work with our electricity providers to increase the percentage of
renewable energy in our fuel mix;
- purchase electricity derived from renewable sources by buying
Green-E certified renewable energy
credits (RECs);
- offset remaining emissions.
