In May 2014, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) orchestrated the University of Illinois’ sale of about 150,000 metric tons of certified carbon credits from its Urbana-Champaign campus to Chevrolet. The sale, the largest to date in the Chevrolet Clean Energy Campus Campaign, was brought about in large part because the campus was able to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by reducing coal use in favor of gas for energy generation.

University of Illinois-Chicago is serious about sustainability. Its LEED-Gold Douglas Hall features 245 solar panels, geothermal heating, daylighting, and occupancy detectors to reduce its carbon footprint. The campus essentially set a precedent for high-performing LEED buildings to earn carbon credit funding.

Guest post by Wim Wiewel, president of Portland State University.
I start with the belief that climate change is the single biggest challenge humanity faces. If we don’t deal with it, rising global temperatures have the potential for devastating impact on a global scale. Widespread drought, disappearing habitat, catastrophic sea level change — we’ve all heard the forecasts.

In her keynote speech at the AASHE 2014 opening ceremony, Story of Stuff creator Annie Leonard presented a newer Story, this time about change. Leonard recognizes that change is a slow and difficult process and she suggests that change is most successful through the collaboration of several different kinds of changemakers, namely: builders, networkers, resisters, communicators, nurturers, and investigators.

Chevrolet is teaming up with Ducks Unlimited and other climate experts to help ensure up to 6,000 acres of grasslands in North Dakota is protected against industrial-scale crop farming. The innovative partnership to support the Missouri Coteau is one of 36 projects under Chevrolet’s voluntary carbon-reduction initiative to reduce 8 million metric tons of carbon from being emitted.
I'm not really a car person, but from the moment I saw the concept car for the Volt, I wanted one.

I wanted a Volt for years, but it never seemed practical.
I HAD a car, an aging white sedan inherited from my parents, and there was nothing wrong with it. But occasionally, I’d wander over to the Chevrolet web site and build my dream car online: a dark gray Chevy Volt with black leather interior, a leather-wrapped steering wheel. GPS. Do I want the fancy wheels? Heck yes I want the fancy wheels. I even test drove one once and was blown away by how fun it was to drive–it was so quick and responsive that in the city it felt kind of like a sports car.

Scared of bats?
Fair enough. But did you know just one bat eats up to 5,000 insects a night? More bats equals less mosquitos buzzing around your head. And less pesticides needed on our fruits and veggies to fend off those buggers.
These furry friends provide necessary protection to our ecosystem.
When complete, our Lordstown solar array will bump our solar output in Ohio to four megawatts.

We’re close to completing a 2.2 megawatt ground-mounted solar array at our Lordstown Complex in Ohio. When finished, this facility will not only be home to the Chevrolet Cruze, but also our largest solar installation in the Western Hemisphere.
