I. Climate Action
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization,
event or product. In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, you
should know what goes into calculating your carbon footprint and how
your daily actions affect it. The way we use energy, the types of
transportation we choose, the food we eat, the amount of waste we
generate – all contribute to our carbon footprint. Do you know how
large your carbon footprint is? Here are a few carbon calculators,
which can help you find out:

lator/
Interesting statistics:
In 2007, total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions were 7,150.1 million metric tons.
Overall, total U.S. emissions have risen by 17 percent from 1990 to 2007.
Emissions increased from 2006 to 2007, by 1.4 percent (99.0 million metric
tons).

Colgate’s Carbon Footprint
In January 2009, Colgate became a signatory of the
American College and University Presidents' Climate
Commitment (ACUPCC), which charges Colgate with
taking action towards achieving carbon neutrality.
Carbon neutral is the act of achieving net zero carbon
emissions by balancing the total amount of carbon
released with an equivalent amount that is either
sequestered or offset. By signing the commitment,
Colgate pledges to complete an emissions inventory,
take immediate short-term action to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, make “sustainability” a
component of the academic curriculum, and create a
two year step-by-step plan with measurable goals
including a target date for reaching carbon neutrality.
Colgate’s first comprehensive Carbon Footprint will be completed
by January 2010. These are some examples of Colgate’s GHG
emission sources:
•
•
•
Heating & Cooling of Buildings
Electricity Use
Commuting Habits
•
•
•
Air Travel
Vehicle Fleet
Landfill Waste
Interesting Fact:
A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a
rate of 48 lbs./year and release enough oxygen back
into the atmosphere to support two human beings.
Tree planting is one way to take climate action.

II. Energy Efficiency and
Conservation
The Energy Connection . . .
Fossil fuels are made up of hydrogen and carbon. When fossil
fuels are burned, the carbon combines with oxygen to yield
carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide produced
depends on the carbon content of the fuel. Natural gas, oil,
and coal are all fossil fuels that release carbon with coal
releasing the greatest amount of carbon per unit.
Fossil fuels supply 85 percent of the primary energy
consumed in the United States and are responsible for 98
percent of emissions of carbon dioxide. Eighty percent of U.S.
carbon dioxide emissions come from the use of coal and
petroleum fuels. Although the industrial sector is the largest
energy consumer (including direct fuel use and purchased
electricity), the transportation sector emits more carbon
dioxide because of its near complete dependence on
petroleum fuels. The residential and commercial sectors have
lower emission levels than the transportation and industrial
sectors, with the majority of their emissions coming from
purchased electricity. Electricity generation consumes 40
percent of U.S. primary energy and is responsible for 40
percent of carbon dioxide emissions. In the electric power
sector, coal accounts for 83 percent of the emissions.

Here are a few tips for Colgate community members
trying to conserve energy and reduce their carbon
footprint:
•
Turn out the lights when not in use. A large percentage of
the charges on electric bills are from unnecessarily lighting
rooms. Get in the habit of flipping the light switch off
everytime you leave a room for more than 15
minutes. Another good option is to install motion-sensors so
that lights automatically turn on when someone enters a
room and off when they leave.
•
Replace old incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient
compact florescent or LED light bulbs. CFL’s use 75% less
energy than incandescent light bubs and last up to 10x
longer. For each incandescent light bulb you replace with a
CFL you could eliminate 100 pounds of carbon dioxide each
year. According to Green America, if each home in America
replaced one bulb with an Energy Star CFL, it would save
enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year and
prevent greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from
800,000 cars.
•
Unplug laptop/phone chargers after your device is fully
charged. Chargers can draw as much as 5 to 20 times more
energy than is actually stored in the battery if you continue
to leave them plugged in!
•
Heating and cooling. You can save around 10% a year on
your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your
thermostat back 10°–15° for eight hours each day. You can
do this automatically without sacrificing comfort by installing
an automatic setback or programmable thermostat.
Background image taken from: http://www.peedeeelectric.com/content_clientimgs/green%20world.jpg
•
Plug all electronics into a power strip or a Smart Strip and
kill Phantom Load. Electronic devices continue to consume
energy even when they are turned off. This is known as
Phantom Load. According to Energy Star, Phantom Load is
responsible for 40% of your electrical usage! In fact, a quarter
of the energy used by your TV each year is consumed when
the TV is off! This unnecessary waste of energy costs you
money and harms our environment. Smart Strips can put an
end to Phantom Load. Simply, plug all your electronic devices
into the appropriate outlets on the smart strip and the
problem is solved! Power strips work equally as well but
require a little more work on your end - you have to flip the
switch off everytime you are finished using your device. TVs,
DVD players, computers, printers, and cell phone chargers are
just some of the devices that leak power even when they
aren’t on.
•
Turn off your computer monitor when it is not in
use. Leaving your monitor in standby mode rather than
switching it off wastes energy and money. That is why all
monitors in Cooley Science Library are turned off every night.
•
Wash laundry in cold or warm water, never hot. According
to the US Department of Energy about 90% of the energy
used for washing clothes is for heating the water. Most
clothes don’t need a hot or even a warm water rinse; with
new detergents designed for cold water washing, you don’t
even need to turn on the hot.
•
Let your dishes air-dry. Forget about the energy intensive
“drying cycle” on your dishwasher. Let your dishes air-dry
instead!
Background image taken from: http://www.peedeeelectric.com/content_clientimgs/green%20world.jpg
•
Do a home energy audit. A home energy audit will help you
begin the process of becoming energy efficient.
The US
Department of Energy provides helpful instructions for a Do-ItYourself Audit, and they also provide resources if you decide to
have a professional energy audit on your home. When
purchasing new appliances or electronics choose ENERGY STAR
products. ENERGY STAR labels appear on appliances and home
electronics that meet strict energy efficiency criteria established
by the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.
•
Make your fridge more efficient. Keep your refrigerator's coils
clean to boost its overall power, and store jugs of water in any
empty space inside, because water retains coldness better than
air. According to Green America this could result in 4% energy
savings per year.
•
Don't waste energy on TV. If you shop for a new television, look
for an LCD (liquid crystal display) screen, which uses six times
less energy than a plasma screen. Instead of staying in front of
the TV, go out and get active – meet new people and join the
many different clubs and events at Colgate.
•
Save energy through landscaping. The US Department of
Energy found that the proper placement of as few as three
shady trees will save an average household between $100 and
$250 in energy costs annually.

Renewable Energy at Colgate
Colgate's wood-fired boiler
Colgate's wood-fired boiler satisfies
more than 70 percent of the campus'
heat and domestic hot water
needs. Installed in the early 1980s,
the boiler processes approximately
20,000 tons of locally and sustainably
harvested
wood
chips
per
year. This renewable, carbon neutral
resource
helps
Colgate
avoid
consuming the equivalent of 1 million
gallons of fuel oil, prevents over
20,000 tons of greenhouse gas
emissions, and saves the University
nearly $1 million each year in heating
costs.

III. Alternative Transportation
The Transportation Connection . . .
Transportation sources accounted for 29 percent of total U.S.
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2006. Transportation is the
fastest-growing source of GHGs in the U.S., accounting for 47
percent of the net increase in total U.S. emissions since 1990. These
estimates of transportation GHGs do not include emissions from
additional lifecycle processes, such as the extraction and refining of
fuel and the manufacture of vehicles, which are also a significant
source of domestic and international GHG emissions.

TRANSPORTATION – What you can do:
•
Look for more fuel-efficient, less polluting cars. Think about trading
in that old gas guzzler for a more fuel-efficient car. A car that gets 20
miles to the gallon will emit about 50 tons of carbon dioxide over its
lifetime. Double the gas mileage and you cut the emissions by half.
Investigate the many new ultra-clean alternative fuel vehicles
available. Reconsider extra features such as automatic transmission
and 4-wheel drive -- they are often unnecessary and eat into gas
mileage.
•
Keep your car in good condition. Get your engine tuned up
regularly, change the oil, and keep your tires inflated properly -proper maintenance can increase your car's fuel efficiency by 10
percent and reduce emissions.
•
Cut driving miles. Each gallon of gas used in your car releases about
24 pounds of atmospheric-warming carbon dioxide. Cutting your
driving by just five miles each day would contribute to keeping tons
of carbon dioxide from entering the air.
•
Carpool. If every car carried just one more passenger on its daily
commute, 32 million gallons of gasoline (and the pollution produced
by it) would be saved each day.

What you can do at Colgate:
•
Ride the Colgate Cruiser: It is convenient and FREE and provides an
alternative way to meet new people. The Cruisers will take you
around campus and to the village of Hamilton providing easy access
to the Colgate Bookstore, Hamilton Movie Theater, Barge Canal
Coffee House, off-campus residence halls and apartments, and
other local stores and restaurants in the downtown area.
•
Ride a Bike: Bicycling is a quiet, clean, and healthy way to travel.
Bike for fun! …to work or school! …or to run errands! Combined
with transit, cycling can also be a part of a longer distance commute.
Use Colgate’s Green Bikes. The mission of Green Bikes is to provide
Colgate students with inexpensive, convenient, human-powered
transportation to decrease reliance on automobiles. Green Bikes is
a community bike sharing program managed by Theta Chi fraternity.

IV. Sustainable Food and
Dining Practices
The Food Connection…
In the twentieth-century we have witnessed a radical
transformation of our food system from sustainably based,
locally focused production, to a fossil-fuel addicted
industrialized system. Agriculture has changed more in the
past two generations than it did in the previous 12,000 years.
Unfortunately for us, almost every aspect of our modern
industrial agricultural system creates greenhouse gas
emissions. The rapid growth of livestock production is
another major contributor to the increased amount of
greenhouse gas emissions. Indeed, to produce 2.2 pounds of
beef burns enough energy to light a 100 watt bulb for twenty
days. Globally, beef production accounts for about 18% of
total greenhouse gas emissions. That is about 6 times more
than airline travel!

What you can do and how to eat
sustainably at Colgate:
•
Local: Buy food from local companies whenever possible. Each
pound of local food you purchase prevents a quarter pound of
global warming (C02) emissions. Support your local Farmer's
Market.
 Centralized local food purchasing: Colgate is proud of our
relationship with Dan Purdy and Sons of nearby Sherburne,
N.Y. As the only USDA federally inspected local agricultural
processors of meats, poultry and seafood in the region, Purdy
and Sons streamlines Colgate’s purchase and consumption of
locally produced food for our dining halls.
 Local produce: Mento Produce is Colgate’s produce supplier,
providing local in season produce, to the university. Mento is
located in nearby Syracuse, New York.
 Local milk and dairy: Colgate’s milk supplier is Crowley Dairy,
from Binghamton, N.Y. Crowley's delivers locally produced
milk from Madison, Chenango, and Cortland counties.
 Farmer’s Market: Every Saturday, May through October, there
is a Farmers Market on the Village Green in Hamilton. It starts
at 9am and ends at 1pm, and there you can find seasonal
products grown in local farms as well as local meat, cheese,
wine and many others.

•
Ask for organic produce: Often, organic produce costs more and is
more difficult to get, but many supermarkets and greengrocers are
willing to stock organic food if they know customers will buy it
regularly. ·
 All of Colgate’s rice (white, brown and basmati) is organic.
Organic beans are used, including kidney, black, pinto, chili,
lentil split pea and navy. Ask for the organic products at Frank
or in the Coop! You can also visit Whole Foods downtown,
where you will find different products, most of which are
organic.
•
Switching to a vegetarian diet is a powerful way to help protect our
environment and help ensure everyone has enough to eat. The
United Nations recently released Livestock’s Long Shadow–
Environmental Issues and Options, which concludes that the
livestock sector (primarily cows, chickens, and pigs) emerges as one
of the top two or three most significant contributors to our most
serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.
It is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases - responsible for
18% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. By comparison, all
transportation emits 13.5% of the CO2. It produces 65% of humanrelated nitrous oxide (which has 296 times the global warming
potential of CO2) and 37% of all human-induced methane (which is
23 times as warming as CO2). It also generates 64% of the ammonia,
which contributes to acid rain and acidification of ecosystems. In
addition, the enormous amounts of grain required to feed livestock
reduces the amount of food available for the world's hungry. Buying
organic, locally grown food also reduces global warming emissions
and helps protect the environment.
 Colgate offers a daily vegan option at its main dining facility.
Note that vegan is different from vegetarian. While
vegetarians don’t eat meat, vegans endeavor not to use or
consume animal products of any kind.

•
"Dolphin Safe" Tuna: Only purchase tuna labeled "dolphin safe".
 At Colgate we only purchases Dolphin Friendly Tuna!
•
Pack a Waste-Free Lunch: A waste-free lunch means that you have
no packaging to throw away when you're done - nothing other than
apple cores, banana and orange peels, peach or cherry pits. The
best way to reduce garbage is to not create it. Here you can find
“Five Simple Ways to Pack a Waste-Free Lunch”:

V. Waste Minimization and
Recycling
The Waste Connection . . .
Solid waste disposal contributes to greenhouse gas emissions in a
variety of ways. First, the anaerobic decomposition of waste in
landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent
than carbon dioxide. Second, the incineration of waste produces
carbon dioxide as a by-product. In addition, the transportation of
waste to disposal sites produces greenhouse gas emissions from the
combustion of the fuel used in the equipment. Finally, the disposal
of materials indicates that they are being replaced by new products;
this production often requires the use of fossil fuels to obtain raw
materials and manufacture the items.
Currently, the U.S. recycles approximately 32 percent of its waste
which saves an equivalent amount of greenhouse gases to removing
39.6 million cars from the road. Increasing the recycling rate to 35
percent would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an additional
5.2 Million Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent.

REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE
•
•
•
STEP #1: REDUCE
Reduce instructs us to reconsider the stuff we eye and buy, but rarely
need. Buying less and experiencing more is a good moto for a healthier
planet and a happier you. The average product we consume contains only
about 5 percent of the resources and energy that went into manufacturing
and transporting it. The other 95 percent is waste. We can do a lot to
reduce the waste we produce by reducing unnecessary material
possessions.
STEP #2: REUSE
Reuse challenges us to consider creative and sensible options for our
unwanted goods besides throwing them in the trash. No matter how
unique your unwanted items are, you can usually find them a new home.
Use Craig's List or E-Bay. Better yet, donate your items to a local
organization such as Heritage Farm in Bouckville, Hope House and the
Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees in Utica, Worn Again clothing
shop in Hamilton, and the Community Action Partnership in Morrisville.
Additionally, at the end of every academic year, the COVE will pickup your
unwanted items through their Salvage program to donate to local
charities.
STEP #3: RECYCLE
One of the simplest and most important things we can do to protect our
environment is to recycle. Recycling preserves precious resources, avoids
building new landfills, conserves energy, and reduces water pollution, air
pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. At
Colgate, take a moment to place your recyclable items (i.e. glass, plastic
containers and bottles, metal cans, paper products, cardboard, and
electronic waste) in the correct bin. Do you have a recycle bin at home, in
your residence hall, or in your office? Does everyone know where it is? Is
it properly labeled and frequently used? If not, then it is time to take
action! Be a sustainability champion and spearhead your very
own recycling campaign.
Background image taken from: http://www.troop-358-zionsville.org/recycle/RecycleGlobe.jpg
•
Recycle materials you use - Recycling saves resources, decreases
the use of toxic chemicals, cuts energy use, helps curb global
warming, stems the flow of water and air pollution, and reduces
the need for landfills and incinerators.
Look for the recycling bins around the campus. When you print
materials, make sure that you print double-sided. Remember that
the COOP has three print-release stations that must be approved
by your 'Gate card before going to the printer. Implemented in
January 2009 these print-release stations are drastically reducing
the amount of printed paper that went unclaimed and directly
into the recycling bin.
•
Buy recycled products - Look on the label for the products or
packaging with the greatest percentage of post-consumer
recycled content, which ensures that the materials have been
used before. Try to buy paper products that have more than 50
percent post-consumer content.
The Colgate Bookstore sells notebooks with recycled paper.
•
Buy products with less packaging - A large percentage of the
paper, cardboard, and plastic we use goes into packaging -- much
of it wasteful and unnecessary. When you buy a product, look at
the packaging and ask: Can it be reused? Is it made of postconsumer recycled materials? Is it necessary at all? Reward those
companies that are most enlightened about their use of
packaging by purchasing their products. Contact companies that
overpackage and tell them you will be more likely to buy if they
change this policy.
Background image taken from: http://www.troop-358-zionsville.org/recycle/RecycleGlobe.jpg
•
Use durable goods - Bring your own cloth bags to local
stores. Replace plastic and paper cups with ceramic mugs,
disposable razors with reusable ones. Refuse unneeded
plastic utensils, napkins, and straws when you buy takeout
foods. Use a cloth dishrag instead of paper towels at home,
and reusable food containers instead of aluminum foil and
plastic wrap.
•
Buy in bulk - it reduces packaging.

VI.
Water Conservation
Water is one of the Earth's most essential resources. All life
depends on it. In recent decades, human demand and climate
change have placed unprecedented pressure on our national
water resources. And while some regions have experienced
higher than average rainfall, many parts of the US are
suffering record dryness. Notably, in September of 2007
nearly half of the country experienced drought, and major
bodies of water like the Great Lakes and the Colorado River
have been showing significantly reduced water levels.
America’s vast water resources are limited, and we need to
protect and conserve them.
More information at: http://www.h2oconserve.org
Background image taken from: https://mrgrayotsscience.wikispaces.com/file/view/Blue_Earth.gif
What you can do:





Water Consumption: Each time you turn on a water faucet use the
lowest pressure necessary. Keep the water turned on only while it is
needed. For drinking water, keep a pitcher in your refrigerator so you
don't have to let water run to cool. Full Loads: Always run full loads
of laundry and dishes. Choose the short cycle at low water levels
whenever possible. Set the clothing washer at the lowest possible
temperature needed and for single rinse only. If you buy a new
appliance, switch to a water-conserving model (e.g., front loading
washer).
Fix Leaks Promptly!: It is estimated that 13.7% of household water is
wasted by leaks. Check your water meter when no one is using water
in the house. If it's moving there's a leak. A running toilet can waste 2
gallons a minute. Check by adding food coloring to the tank without
flushing. After 10 minutes, look for leaks indicated by color in the
bowl. This is most likely a worn flapper valve that can easily be
replaced. If this happens in your dorm or campus apartment/house don’t hesitate – call B&G and they will come and fix it.
Leftover Water: If you have house plants, whenever possible water
them with rainwater or leftover or unused water from drinking,
cooking, and showering. Keep a water pitcher near your sink or
bathtub and collect unused water running from the tap (waiting for
cooler or warmer water).
Car Wash: Take your car to a car wash that recycles water. If you
wash it yourself, use a bucket and sponge and rinse sparingly.
Tap Water: Make the switch back to environmentally-friendly tap
water instead of bottled water.
