U OF T SUSTAINABILITY OFFICE NOW LOCATED IN EARTH SCIENCES CENTRE The Institute for Environmental Studies would like to welcome the new U of T Sustainability Office, which has recently moved into two IES offices in the Earth Sciences Centre: 1047A and 1048A (5 Bancroft Avenue entrance). Under the direction of the inaugural Sustainability Director, Beth Savan, of Innis College, its mission is to dramatically decrease the University's use of energy and, therefore, its greenhouse gas emissions. Currently sharing the two offices are: 1047A (tel: 416-946-5335): Beth Savan, Sustainability Director (main office in Innis College) TBA, Project Manager TBA, Administrative Assistant Brent Gilmour, Strategic Coordinator Joanna Angus, Work-Study and Volunteer Student Coordinator 1048A (tel: 416-978-6792): Workstudy Students and Volunteers In June 2004, the University of Toronto was awarded the second largest grant ever provided by the Toronto Atmospheric Fund (TAF) to develop the University's Greenhouse Gas and Energy Reduction Strategy and establish a Sustainability Office on the St. George Campus. The development of the Sustainability Office and the Strategy is a joint undertaking and involves the City of Toronto and U of T's Environmental Protection Advisory Committee; Student Administrative Council; Vice-President, Business Affairs; and Vice-Provost, Space and Facilities Planning. The direction and implementation of the Sustainability Office and the Strategy is under the guidance of Beth Savan, the inaugural Sustainability Director and Bruce Dodds, Director of Utilities and Building Operations. Its mission is to dramatically decrease the University's use of energy and, therefore, its greenhouse gas emissions. There are ample opportunities for everyone on campus, especially students, to participate in this exciting initiative.
