UNCG professor Anna Marshall-Baker on the university system’s goal of carbon neutrality by 2050:
“Carbon neutrality is huge,” said Anna Marshall-Baker , an interior design professor who helped start a sustainability committee at UNCG in 2006. “It’s just unrealistic to think we can continue to do business the way we’ve done it throughout the 20th century. As an educational institution, it’s irresponsible.”
The question, of course, is just how the UNC system is going to pay for upgrades that meet “ambitious sustainability goals. You guessed it —-“legislation that would help the universities pay for the improvements, such as through revolving loans or special savings.”
I think now would be as good a time as any to remind everyone that North Carolina has very clean air.
