<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><br></span></div>The Environmental Committee (EC) identifies and evaluates<br>opportunities for the Hampshire College community to decrease its<br>
environmental footprint and increase its overall sustainability. The<br>EC coordinates, develops, and vets ideas and plans related to energy<br>and materials consumption and emissions and provide information,<br>counsel, and specific recommendations to the College President. The EC<br>
facilitates communication between administrators, trustees, faculty,<br>staff, and student groups in order to advance environmentally-related<br>plans, interests, and activism. The EC will engage the entire<br>community in environmental and sustainability issues from campus to<br>
global scales and increase the community's awareness of and<br>accessibility to low-impact living options on and off campus.<br><br>The most important job for the EC this year will be to develop the<br>Climate Action Plan for the College, which describes how Hampshire<br>
will meet the goal of becoming "climate neutral" as part of the<br>American College and University's Presidential Climate Commitment.<br><br>The membership of the committee consists of 3 students, 3 faculty, 3<br>
staff, and an appointed administrator. Members are elected by their<br>constituents.<br><br>Please send names for nominations to me, Steve Roof -<br><a href="mailto:sroof@hampshire.edu" style="color: rgb(7, 77, 143); ">sroof@hampshire.edu</a>. I am also happy to answer any questions about the<br>
committee and its tasks.</span>
