>“Carbon Neutral!” the latest environmental battle cry, signifies the 
>replacement of fossil fuel energy sources with renewable non-carbon or 
>biomass energy sources. How close is Hampshire College to “Carbon 
>Neutrality?” We’ve certainly come a long ways since our inception as the 
>“all electric” college in the 1970’s. Yet we’re still nearly as “addicted 
>to oil” as the rest of our country. President Hexter’s announcement that 
>he and the College Trustees are seriously committed to reducing and even 
>eliminating our fossil fuel-based carbon footprint is timely and welcome. 
>What options are open to us? What is our current “footprint?” What changes 
>in energy use and patterns of life will be easiest or hardest to accomplish?
>
>Please join with other members of the Hampshire College community, 
>including Larry Archey (Director of Campus Operations) and Charlie Ekdahl 
>(Director of Physical Plant) from the administration and the students of 
>NS163/363 Biomass Energy in a lunchtime discussion and brainstorm. We will 
>meet in Cole Science Center 333 on Friday March 2 at Noon. Lunch provided. 
>This meeting is part of the Environmental Science and Sustainability 
>Program seminar series in the School of Natural Science.
