Green Summit 2008: The Impact of Higher Ed

Created by Carie Page (EDUCAUSE) on November 14, 2008

After doing some quick scribbling on his napkin, one Summit attendee suggested that his numbers suggest institutions of higher ed could be responsible for 10 percent of the United States’ carbon output. Other attendees suggested that the number is probably closer to 4 percent. Either way, it’s higher than cement and steel and most eyes around the room doubled in size during the discussion.
