BUFFALO, N.Y. — 猛料视频 students will explain how Western New York companies can reduce their carbon footprints — in a way that’s good for business — as part of the university’s Carbon Reduction Challenge.

News media are invited to cover the presentations, which will be held Tuesday (May 6) at the GRoW Clean Energy Center, the North Campus’ ultra-energy-efficient demonstration home. 

As part of an upper-level earth science course, students from a wide range of degree programs worked directly with local organizations to quantify their carbon footprints and create climate action plans tailored for them. The goal is to identify actions that both protect the environment and are good for the organizations’ bottom lines. 

Participants this year include 42 North Brewing and the East Aurora Union Free School District. 

Since first being offered in 2019, the Carbon Reduction Challenge has resulted in proposed CO2 reductions of approximately 75,000 metric tons per year.

When: 2 to 3:20 p.m., Tuesday, May 6

Where: GRoW Clean Energy Center, 150 Service Center Road, UB North Campus

Visuals: Please note that seating and space are limited inside the GRoW Center, but students and professors will also be available for interviews following the presentations.
