In Our Nature Blog
If you want more content on sustainability at the UW, check out UW Sustainability's blog, In Our Nature. Below is a sample from a post on UW Solar by Annika Prom to give you a sneak peek at the types of posts on our blog.
"With no signs of slowing down, UW Solar is looking to carry out two major projects this year that will encourage the use of alternative energy at the university. The first is a campus-wide plan assessing more than 300 buildings and 36 parking lots to determine their solar capacity. From there, the members will recommend locations and best practices for applying more solar power across UW. Faculty adviser Jan Whittington, Associate Professor of the Department of Urban Design and Planning, says the club is on track to complete the campus-wide solar plan by Spring 2020.
Another big UW Solar project is working with UW Transportation Services to create a strategy to electrify their parking services and fleet of vehicles. This plan would transform the UW's transportation offerings almost entirely off fossil fuels over about a 12-year span."
