The Stanford Climate Change Campaign asks the University to commit itself to the fight against global warming with the following steps:
1) Adopt an official stance on climate change by creating a unified policy and emissions reduction plan for the university
2) Reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 10% from 1990 levels by 2020
3) Complete the formal climate inventory, currently underway, no later than the end of academic year 2006-2007
4) Maintain active student, faculty, and staff involvement throughout the process
5) Take measurable strides in implementing on-campus renewable energy generation by the beginning of academic year 2007-2008 (solar hot water systems installed, photovoltaic systems installed, wind turbines constructed)
6) Develop a long-term plan for climate neutrality
As an institution of higher learning and a global citizen, Stanford University has the responsibility to demonstrate leadership by cutting its own greenhouse gas emissions. This would signal that institutions of higher learning care about this issue and are willing to take concrete steps to deal with it.
Indeed, other leading universities have already adopted progressive policies to cut their emissions and
I am currently finalizing a formal briefing document that outlines the specific emission reduction targets we are requesting from the administration. This document will be delivered to the Office of the President to ensure our policy recommendations are formally entered into their review process.

Ridiculous that this hasnt been sorted already. Solar panels everywhere on campus should be a no brainer by now.

Stanford has the resources to set an example for everyone else. Stop dragging your feet and do what is right for the future.

Fix the campus energy usage. We are supposed to be leaders in innovation so lets actually innovate.
