Title A name given to the resource Carbon Sequestration on Vassar Campus Subject The topic of the resource carbon sequestration Description An account of the resource In a world increasingly plagued by anthropogenic heat due to airborne emissions, the mitigation of such emissions is all the more effective when carried out by entities with more sway. Moreover, trees provide a critical sink of greenhouse gases through their utilization of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and thus are crucial in analyzing the harms of emissions generated by Vassar College, a campus classified as an arboretum. As students and residents of Vassar, a school of almost 2,500, we set out to research the carbon sequestration capabilities of its standing biomass and, in conjunction, the magnitude of its CO2 emissions to quantify the necessity of a cutback in its emissions.

Title A name given to the resource Vassar College Dormitory Lighting Audit Subject The topic of the resource energy usage Description An account of the resource The production of electricity is known to be a gargantuan contributor to global climate change. In 2018, it was responsible for approximately 41% of all global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, amounting to a total of 13.6 billion tons of CO2 emissions (Naimoli, & Ladislaw, 2020). One large consumer of electricity is lighting, especially on Vassar’s campus. We analyzed electricity use in dormitories to estimate related CO2 emissions and recommend ways to reduce Vassar’s carbon footprint. That way, we could make recommendations for ways to reduce Vassar’s carbon footprint through reducing the electricity consumption.
