At the beginning of November, the Tufts Office of Sustainability along with Tufts Capital Projects and GreenerU planned and executed a community engagement event with students, staff, faculty and the local public. The goal was to educate participants about what’s already happened with sustainability and carbon neutrality on the Tufts campus and to inform about what’s planned for the coming years. We also wanted to understand community priorities, concerns and areas of interest for future sustainability efforts. More than 60 people attended, 2/3 of whom were students!
During the event, participants walked through a maze of info posters to review all of our sustainability initiatives, progress and plans throughout the Medford campus. There were several interactive posters that attendees marked up with color coded stickers and sticky notes. (If you would like to see the questions and add your input, click here for the online version!) There were also several small break-out sessions for people who wanted to have more in-depth discussions about the process, goals and staying informed.
Some findings from the event:
- 100% of participants said they believe carbon neutrality is a worthwhile pursuit
- There was strong support for divestment from the fossil fuel industry
- People are concerned that our goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 isn’t acting fast enough
- Other hopes included more of a focus on renewable energy and social/environmental justice initiatives
- The community would like to stay involved and informed, especially around short term goals/benchmarks
Don’t forget to take a look at the video from the event, and check out some pictures and the info posters here!
