Partnership agreement with CA-CP

CA-CP Campus Carbon Calculator's default emissions coefficients

ANE's Assistant to the President for Sustainability and Social Justice coordinated the preparation of this inventory and served as its primary author. She worked with Purchasing Office and other ANE staff to collect the data necessary for use of the CA-CP calculator. ANE's Purchasing Office staff maintains the calculator we use and inputs all data to it. Reporting covered the period July 2007-June 2008.

The greatest data limitation in this submission is the estimation of gallons of gasoline expended by employees and students commuting to campus. We based our estimate on the current population figures, an estimated 25 mpg per individual commuter and an average number of 120 gallons per year for commuter students living within a 25-mile radius of campus; 201 gallons per year for commuter students living within a 300-mile radius of campus; 240 gallons per year for employees living within a 25-mile radius of campus; 269 gallons per year for employees living within a 300-mile radius, based on the assumption that those within the 25-mile radius travel on a daily basis to campus whereas those living within the 300-mile radius are more likely to travel once a week and stay over, if needed. We also shaped each estimate based on the average number of days/week that faculty and students are on campus (2-3 days/week) as opposed to staff, whom we assume are on campus 5 days a week except for holidays. We derived these estimates from data gathered during ANE's 2006 Social Justice Audit, in which we polled respondents about their average mpg for the vehicle in which they commute and about the distance from campus they live. Solid waste data was also a limitation. Our waste disposal company provided us with estimated tonnage for the period covered by this report, but our internal records show only how many times the company made pick-ups from our campus and the number/volume of the receptacles that are used for each pick-up.

We are budgeting for offsets in our FY 2009-10 budget.

Antioch University New England has set a target of carbon neutrality by the year 2020. We have taken a number of steps to capture the "low-hanging fruit" in reducing our emissions, including a campus-wide education and outreach campaign, installation of restroom light sensors, a low-tech signage campaign for all other light switches, removal of vending machines, and a one-to-one outreach program for every work-station user on campus to increase energy efficiency. We are in the process of upgrading our existing composting and recycling program to reduce our generation of solid waste and are switching over to compostable/biodegradable food service products, 100% recycled content paper for copiers, letterhead, envelopes, etc. We offer an electronic rideshare board for employees and students who commute and also have launched a Green Bikes program for all campus community members. Our location adjacent to Keene's major bike path allows bicyclists easy access to downtown housing, restaurants, etc. We are also in the process of adopting and implementing a responsible purchasing policy that covers both the sustainability and ethical production of products and services we purchase. We currently track all scope 1 and 2 emissions and are actively working to enhance our tracking of scope 3 emissions. We anticipate major decisions regarding our physical plant within the coming year that will enable us to move to the next level in terms of meeting our 2020 goal of carbon neutrality.
