Join us in the fight against climate change with our initiatives aimed at reducing carbon footprints on campus. Our outreach program encourages residents and staff to think globally and act locally. With constant messaging delivered all year round, we’ll replace current building decals to promote sustainability efforts and engage students. Additionally, participate in our water conservation campaign to cut usage by 5% during a focused six-week period.

  1. CEST - OUTREACH WG – July 15, 2010

  2. CHEW ON THIS – Paul McConocha • Key Phrase: Make a Climate Connection, Reduce your Carbon Pawprint • Whois the audience? Campus residents and staff • Whatdo you hope to accomplish? Think globally, act locally to…Slow down climate change. • Wherewill you spread the word? Internally mostly. (internal/external communications) • When will you deliver the message? All the time. (time of day, time of year, etc.) • Why participate? It’s the right thing to do, and it resonates w/ students. • How will you spread the word? Replace “Just Switch It” building decals. (tools, materials, media outlets, etc.)

  3. CHEW ON THIS – Tracey Peake • Key Phrase: ): "Don't be a drip"; "Don't let your future go down the drain" - although honestly I'm wondering if there's a way to phrase this that is shorter and that avoids the "don't" at the beginning ... creative people, help! I'm just a science writer... • Whois the audience? Primarily students, but also faculty/staff. • Whatdo you hope to accomplish? 5% water usage reduction over the school year, maybe a slightly higher percentage during the 6 week focus... • Wherewill you spread the word? Pick a 6-week period in Fall/Spring. May be better to do it in summer/early fall, when we tend to be dry and drought is a factor that will help raise awareness. • Why participate? It would be nice to offer small incentives to winners of challenge - maybe pizza/ice cream party or little tchotchkes if budget allows. But if not we can focus on the participation makes you feel good,helps environment. • How will you spread the word? Wolfbytes, Student Radio, bus signage, res/ hall/building signage, Technician coverage, Twitter/Facebook pages (especially if we did a 5-minute shower challenge where buildings compete to reduce water usage), Bulletin story (for faculty/staff) possible local media pitches with results of challenge: we did something like this with UNC-CH during the drought, it's a cutesy story for a slow news day, particularly if the weather stays dry...
