The NAU Carbon Footprint project is measuring NAU’s own contribution to global warming, and figuring out ways to reduce that contribution. In other words, we’re measuring the greenhouse gas “footprint” of the campus, and then we’re looking for ways to find a smaller shoe. We’re a group of NAU students, staff, and faculty from six different departments and three different colleges around campus working together on this interdisciplinary problem, organized as an independent study course during the spring semesters. Our work is designed to help NAU meet the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, which President Haeger signed earlier this year. By signing on, President Haeger joined a small group of college and university presidents leading the way by committing to reducing their own institutions’ greenhouse gas emissions.
