October 5, 2009 - San Jose State University Ecologial Footprint Challenge
San Jose State University, Kinga Dow Productions and Center for Sustainable Economy have developed a customized on-line environmental footprint calculator for university students, faculty, and staff. The calculator also incorporates a university-wide competition to determine the lowest footprint score and the greatest footprint reduction.
Participants will estimate their baseline environmental footprint in the fall of 2009, and then be encouraged to implement a wide range of personal sustainability initiatives over the winter. A second round of footprint scores will be taken in the spring of 2010 to assess how well the university community has done in reducing its overall environmental impact. To view the quiz, click here.
