Programs & Goals
王钟瑶婚礼视频曝光’s commitment to environmental sustainability is evident across a range of activities and programs, including increased reliance on renewable power sources, thoughtful land-use and building decisions, and food-scrap and electronic disposal.
Home to a 28-acre watershed, Reed has also invested in restoration efforts to improve habitat for birds, animals, and aquatic species and create new spawning and rearing grounds for salmon and other resident fish species.
Since 2013, after Reed dedicated $5.4 million to implement changes to minimize energy use by maximizing equipment life and altered building management, Reed has realized an equivalent CO2 emissions reduction of 2,647,750 pounds per year.
In addition to CO2 reduction, these changes resulted in over $250,000 annually in energy-, water-, and maintenance-related savings. The annual energy and water savings is as follows:
- 1,241,925 kWh
- 4,463 kW
- 112,954 therms (natural gas)
- 5,607,008 gallons or 7,496 CCF (1 CCF = 100 cubic feet)
The most effective way for Reed to combat climate change lies in its educational mission. The college provides for robust academic research opportunities related to sustainability in addition to a strong program. Additionally, the Center for Life Beyond Reed provides students with career opportunity support in the fields of sustainability.
