Similar initiatives are underway on university campuses in the U.S. and Europe where either the University and/or students commit to purchasing green energy for the campus. The GHG and Energy Reduction Plan for UofT will require student initiatives, as well as smart energy purchasing policies. Examination of student led initiatives to purchase green power is a critical component of the plan which requires further examination. 5) Review examples of student led energy initiatives at US and Canadian Universities. A collection of case studies could become a widely reviewed report similar to the moving the economy and provide student groups, as well as the sustainability chair with a good list of ideas 6) Undertake a review of existing procurement (not energy) policies on campus to determine whether energy improvements can be made 7) Develop a draft bike policy/plan for the University.
