"Degrees that Matter" action steps

I borrowed a library copy of "Degrees that Matter: Climate Change and the University" from another UW campus, and found it to be very readable and practical.

Here's my own partial summary:

ACTIONS
1. Increased efficiency
2. Alternative fuels & renewable energy
3. Reduced demand (behavioral changes)
4. Market approaches (emissions offsets & trading)
5. Preparation for climate changes

TACTICS
1. Understand decision-making process
2. Link to existing projects & priorities
3. Build on staff interests
4. Partnerships & allies (recycling, health/safety, cost containment)
5. Incentives (explicit, implicit)

STRATEGY
1. Guts or glory (behind the scenes vs. highly visible)
2. Large-scale or small-scale (all-or-nothing vs. low-hanging fruit)
3. Pilot projects (experimental, short-term)
4. Educational projects

BEYOND FACILITIES
1. Purchasing (electricity, energy-efficient products)
2. Transportation (to/from/around campus, business travel)
3. Solid waste (composting, burning for power, methane capture)
4. Dining services (appliances, HVAC, energy-efficient products)
5. Green space (fertilizers, tillage, tree planting)
6. Livestock (methane capture, manure as biofuel/fertilizer)
7. Gas management (refrigerants, science/engineering/medical gases)
