Energy Conservation and Climate Commitment

The College's energy use and how this contributes to greenhouse gas emissions is a principal environmental concern at Eckerd. In May 2007, President Eastman signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment. In the summer of 2007, the greenhouse gas emissions inventory for Eckerd College was completed. An action plan for achieving climate neutrality is currently under development. In addition, an energy star purchasing policy was adopted in Spring 2007.
