I heard about the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) shortly after it was initiated. The concept was that many politicians, business leaders, and citizens in the United States continued to ignore the signs of global warming. A group of college presidents signed a commitment to develop a plan for their institutions to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible by creating a workable plan, completing a comprehensive inventory of all greenhouse gas emissions, initiating tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and making all plans publicly available.
