<div>== The Williams College Climate Initiative ==<br />
<br />
Climate change is a preeminent challenge of our time. Its effects will be felt throughout the world for generations to come. Williamstown, the state of Massachusetts, and peer institutions have already set targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, Williams College has an obligation to lead by example. '''In signing this petition, we call upon President Schapiro and the Board of Trustees to adopt a Climate Action Plan that would ensure a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, and a 20% reduction by 2015.''' The Plan would entail compiling an updated, comprehensive carbon emission inventory, laying out a framework and timeline to achieve our reduction targets, and hiring a Campus Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate the Climate Action Plan and all future sustainability projects.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
The undersigned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Background information:'''<br />
* Williams College is responsible for emitting 34,700 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a quarter of Williamstown’s total emissions. This is approximately 11.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person at Williams College.<br />
<br />
* More than 37 colleges and universities have set an example by meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol agreement for emissions reductions. For example, see the recent article [http://proquest.umi.com/pqdweb?index=0&did=962257011&SrchMode=1&sid=1&Fmt=3&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=PQD&TS=1137341057&clientId=3620#fulltext The Greening of America's Campuses] (New York Times, Jan 8 2006).<br />
<br />
* Williamstown has already adopted a climate action plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% percent by 2010. Williams College is a member of this community and an integral part of the town’s plan.<br />
<br />
* Natural variability alone cannot account for the recent changes in global climate. Scientific models can explain climate changes in the last 50 years only by taking into account greenhouse gas emissions attributable to humans. <br />

<hr />
<div>The Williams campus has many lovely trees which are great for climbing, if you like that sort of thing. Here are some favorites of the Williams tree-climbing community.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Magnolia beside Thompson Chapel ==<br />
<br />
This tree is located between [[Thompson Memorial Chapel]] and<br />
[[Griffin Hall]], in a sort of nook created by the chapel's<br />
buttresses. It's fairly low but provides for some nice, undistracted<br />
sitting, especially in early May when it is in blossom.<br />
<br />
== Sugar maple in front of the physics building ==<br />
<br />
This is one of [[Brent Yorgey|my]] favorite trees to climb, located in front of the [[Thompson Physical Lab|physics building]] and across the street from [[Jesup Hall]]. Getting into the tree initially is a bit of a trick; it requires standing on the railing dividing the sidewalk from the grass, grabbing the nearest<br />
branch, and swinging one's legs up onto an adjacent branch. (Alternatively, a good vertical leap from the base of the trunk can get you a handhold and you can swing your legs up onto the adjacent branch.) Once in the branches, however, it is quite easy to maneuver and continue climbing up. There is a nook about 20 feet up where three branches come together which is perfect for sitting in, whether to bask in the sun, take a nap, or do a problem set. It's also fun to talk to people<br />
coming out of the physics building and watch them turn about in<br />
bewilderment trying to find the source of the voice. However, in the<br />
spring, one does have to watch out for [[eastern tent caterpillars]] that tend to swarm on the branches.<br />
<br />
== Red maple in front of the chem/computer science building ==<br />
<br />
This is a lovely, large tree that is perfect for group tree-climbing<br />
parties, as it can comfortably accommodate quite a few people in its<br />
branches at once. <br />
<br />
== Sugar maple in front of West ==<br />
<br />
This tree is located just in front and to the right of [[West College]] as one<br />
stands at the door of West looking towards the science quad. It's<br />
rather small as trees go, and quite easy to climb. However, when its<br />
leaves are out, they are quite thick; anyone sitting in this tree will<br />
probably not be seen even by people ten feet away. A good place to<br />
hide, if that's what you want to do.<br />
<br />
== American beech on path from Stetson to Mission (or from Bernhard to [[Dodd]]) ==<br />
<br />
This tree, east of the temporary mailroom, is perfect for mulitple arborealists; its many accessible branches are kind even to inexperienced climbers.<br />
<br />
== American beech in [[Forest Garden]] (between [[Stetson]] and [[CES]])==<br />
<br />
You'll need a boost up to the first branch, but after that it's lots of comfy crotches and sturdy limbs. Depending on the season, there may even be fresh berries or other goodies to snack on growing in the gardens below.<br />
<br />
== Oak near "Climb high" gate ==<br />
<br />
== Maple next to Cost bench ==<br />
<br />
== Copper beech in front of WCMA ==<br />
<br />
This is a large, beautiful tree (the only tree of its kind on campus,<br />
to [[Brent Yorgey|my]] knowledge) which would be impossible to climb<br />
were it not for some unfortunate disease or fungus which has rendered<br />
its trunk incredibly gnarled and knotted. As a result, getting up<br />
into this tree requires not so much actual tree-climbing skills as it<br />
does [[rock climbing]] skills. It's mostly fun just for the challenge<br />
of getting up onto the first branch, but once up it does afford a nice<br />
place to sit. It's possible to climb up higher into the tree, but not<br />
advisable without actual belaying equipment (which has, in fact, been<br />
done).<br />
<br />
== Trees in the Stone Hill pasture ==<br />
There is a stand of birch and ash trees (?) in the pasture on top of Stone Hill that makes for great climbing. The branches are low enough to the ground that you don't need any special techniques to scramble up. The branches on these trees are thick enough to make great seats/lounge spots, plus you get an amazing view of the campus below you and Pine Cobble rising behind it. If you're lucky, you might see the cows mulling around on Stone Hill, too!<br />
<br />
== Maple just off path between Sawyer and Hopkins ==<br />
This is a small tree and some may have trouble getting into it, but once in you can go quite high. You can't really sit in it, but it's fun to surprise people passing below you.<br />
<br />
== Huge maple in the Science Quad ==<br />
Start on the branch that hangs low towards clark/bronfman. you can jump up and grab it, and then ascend it upside down to the main fork which you use to right yourself and continue on to the main trunk.<br />
<br />
== Maple on road down to Mission ==<br />
In between sidewalk to [[Dodd]] and [[Dennett]] entrance. There's a skinny branch that hangs almost vertically down which can be climbed like a rope up to the branch.<br />
<br />
== Tree between Woodbridge and Droppers ==<br />
I don't know what kind of tree it is, but it's pretty easy to climb and quite sturdy, despite its flimsy appearance.</div>06rss 2https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Stuff_that_You_Should_Do&diff=5882Stuff that You Should Do2005-12-01T20:00:28Z<p>06rss 2: fixed links</p>

<br />
Climate change is a preeminent challenge of our time. Its effects will be felt throughout the world for generations to come. Williamstown, the state of Massachusetts, and peer institutions have already set targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, Williams College has an obligation to lead by example. '''In signing this petition, we call upon President Schapiro and the Board of Trustees to adopt a Climate Action Plan that would ensure a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, and a 20% reduction by 2015.''' The Plan would entail compiling an updated, comprehensive carbon emission inventory, laying out a framework and timeline to achieve our reduction targets, and hiring a Campus Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate the Climate Action Plan and all future sustainability projects.<br />

'''Background information:'''<br />
* Williams College is responsible for emitting 34,700 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a quarter of Williamstown’s total emissions. This is approximately 11.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person at Williams College.<br />
<br />
* More than 37 colleges and universities have set an example by meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol agreement for emissions reductions. <br />
<br />
* Williamstown has already adopted a climate action plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% percent by 2010. Williams College is a member of this community and an integral part of the town’s plan.<br />
<br />
* Natural variability alone cannot account for the recent changes in global climate. Scientific models can explain climate changes in the last 50 years only by taking into account greenhouse gas emissions attributable to humans. <br />

<hr />
<div>=== Why are no details provided about meeting the goals? ===<br />
The [[Climate Initiative | petition]] is simply setting targets for carbon emissions reductions and asking that the college commit to meeting those targets by developing a Climate Action Plan (i.e. it hasn't been written yet!) Although there are plenty of examples of what other colleges are currently doing to meet their own targets, in order for a plan to be truly effective, it needs to take a lot of things into consideration: current levels of emissions and cost-benefit analysis of various actions, to name a couple. The process of developing a plan took Yale almost a year. What we propose is that the college adopt the targets right away, and then immediately hire someone who can do the proper analyses to develop a plan that is suited to Williams. The urgency is that, considering how long an action plan can take, and considering how far behind other colleges (and [http://www.williamstown.net/Action%20Plan%20Website/navigator.html Williamstown]!) we are, we need to take the first initial steps now.<br />
<br />
=== What is a Climate Action Plan? ===<br />
The Plan will provide a program and timeline for achieving the emissions targets laid out in the petition. The College first needs to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions inventory to see what we are producing. Then Facilities and other staff members will be able to devise the appropriate plan for meeting emissions standards. The first phase of reductions can be achieved through buying more renewable energy. There is already a program in development where students can buy their own renewable power. The second phase will require more institutional changes, such as green building features, some of which are already in place in the new student center and in the plans for other buildings.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How will Williams work toward these targets? ===<br />
The Plan will serve as the guide. This petition requests that the College<br />
hire a sustainability coordinator who will be able to work with Facilities to create a professional and efficient Plan for emissions reductions.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How did you come up with those targets? ===<br />
The targets are similar to those advanced in other colleges’ and<br />
municipalities’ climate action plans. In addition, CEAC has considered Williams’ emissions from 2000 and determined that these figures are within our reach.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Have you talked to Facilities about this? ===<br />
Irene Addison, the Associate Vice President for Facilities and Auxiliary<br />
Services, is a staff member of the Campus Environmental Advisory Committee (CEAC), so she is aware that there is demand for a Climate Action Plan and that this petition is being circulated.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Is the Climate Action Plan in the school’s budget? ===<br />
Since the Plan has not yet been developed, it is not in the budget.<br />
However, because Facilities and possibly a sustainability coordinator will be creating the Plan, it will have the power to influence the budget to accommodate the necessary changes. The College is used to some of these considerations because of building design and construction processes that have undergone environmental review.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Who is this petition being sent to? ===<br />
Morty and the Board of Trustees.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Why do you want Williams to do this? ===<br />
The primary reasons are listed on the main [[Climate Initiative]] page.<br />

<hr />
<div>Wherein we strive to clear up any confusions about the Williams [[Climate Initiative]].<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Why are no details provided about meeting the goals? ===<br />
The petition is simply setting targets for carbon emissions reductions and asking that the college commit to meeting those targets by developing a Climate Action Plan (i.e. it hasn't been written yet!) Although there are plenty of examples of what other colleges are currently doing to meet their own targets, in order for a plan to be truly effective, it needs to take a lot of things into consideration: current levels of emissions and cost-benefit analysis of various actions, to name a couple. The process of developing a plan took Yale almost a year. What we propose is that the college adopt the targets right away, and then immediately hire someone who can do the proper analyses to develop a plan that is suited to Williams. The urgency is that, considering how long an action plan can take, and considering how far behind other colleges (and [http://www.williamstown.net/Action%20Plan%20Website/navigator.html Williamstown]!) we are, we need to take the first initial steps now.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== What is a Climate Action Plan? ===<br />
The Plan will provide a program and timeline for achieving the emissions targets laid out in the petition. The College first needs to conduct a greenhouse gas emissions inventory to see what we are producing. Then Facilities and other staff members will be able to devise the appropriate plan for meeting emissions standards. The first phase of reductions can be achieved through buying more renewable energy. There is already a program in development where students can buy their own renewable power. The second phase will require more institutional changes, such as green building features, some of which are already in place in the new student center and in the plans for other buildings.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How will Williams work toward these targets? ===<br />
The Plan will serve as the guide. This petition requests that the College<br />
hire a sustainability coordinator who will be able to work with Facilities to create a professional and efficient Plan for emissions reductions.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How did you come up with those targets? ===<br />
The targets are similar to those advanced in other colleges’ and<br />
municipalities’ climate action plans. In addition, CEAC has considered Williams’ emissions from 2000 and determined that these figures are within our reach.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Have you talked to Facilities about this? ===<br />
Irene Addison, the Associate Vice President for Facilities and Auxiliary<br />
Services, is a staff member of the Campus Environmental Advisory Committee (CEAC), so she is aware that there is demand for a Climate Action Plan and that this petition is being circulated.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Is the Climate Action Plan in the school’s budget? ===<br />
Since the Plan has not yet been developed, it is not in the budget.<br />
However, because Facilities and possibly a sustainability coordinator will be creating the Plan, it will have the power to influence the budget to accommodate the necessary changes. The College is used to some of these considerations because of building design and construction processes that have undergone environmental review.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Who is this petition being sent to? ===<br />
Morty and the Board of Trustees.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Why do you want Williams to do this? ===<br />
The primary reasons are listed on the main [[Climate Initiative]] page.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== What else can I do to support climate action? ===<br />

<br />
Climate change is a preeminent challenge of our time. Its effects will be felt throughout the world for generations to come. Williamstown, the state of Massachusetts, and peer institutions have already set targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, Williams College has an obligation to lead by example. '''In signing this petition, we call upon President Schapiro and the Board of Trustees to adopt a Climate Action Plan that would ensure a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, and a 20% reduction by 2015.''' The Plan would entail compiling an updated, comprehensive carbon emission inventory, laying out a framework and timeline to achieve our reduction targets, and hiring a Campus Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate the Climate Action Plan and all future sustainability projects.<br />

<div>== The Williams College Climate Initiative ==<br />
<br />
Climate change is a preeminent challenge of our time. Its effects will be felt throughout the world for generations to come. Williamstown, the state of Massachusetts, and peer institutions have already set targets for greenhouse gas emission reductions. As one of the nation’s foremost institutions of higher learning, Williams College has an obligation to lead by example. '''In signing this petition, we call upon President Schapiro and the Board of Trustees to adopt a Climate Action Plan that would ensure a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2010, and a 20% reduction by 2015.''' The Plan would entail compiling an updated, comprehensive carbon emission inventory, laying out a framework and timeline to achieve our reduction targets, and hiring a Campus Sustainability Coordinator to facilitate the Climate Action Plan and all future sustainability projects.<br />
<br />
Sincerely,<br />
<br />
The undersigned.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Background information:'''<br />
* Williams College is responsible for emitting 34,700 tons of carbon dioxide per year, a quarter of Williamstown’s total emissions. This is approximately 11.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person at Williams College.<br />
<br />
* More than 37 colleges and universities have set an example by meeting or beating the Kyoto Protocol agreement for emissions reductions. <br />
<br />
* Williamstown has already adopted a climate action plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% percent by 2010. Williams College is a member of this community and an integral part of the town’s plan.<br />
<br />
* Natural variability alone cannot account for the recent changes in global climate. Scientific models can explain climate changes in the last 50 years only by taking into account greenhouse gas emissions attributable to humans. <br />

===Important Announcement, 11/13/05===<br />
<br />
This wiki is getting too much spam, which no one likes cleaning up. For now, we're requiring log-ins to edit any pages. You can use your OIT account or your [[How to get a WSO account|WSO account]] to log in.<br />
<br />
If you don't like this policy, or even if you do, you're invited to apply to be on the soon-to-be-established Wiki board. The Wiki board will set policies for the Wiki, organize and edit articles, grant administrative privileges, and generally decide the direction of WSO/Wiki. This position requires no technical skill beyond being able to use a web site, and it shouldn't take up too much time. If you are interested in becoming a Wiki Big Shot, email <email>wiki@wso.williams.edu</email> with a few sentences expressing your interest before Thanksgiving. In the email, you might mention any contributions you've made to the Wiki and any experience you have as an editor (broadly defined). Students and alumni are welcome to apply. If you have any questions about this position or its powers, just email <email>wiki@wso.williams.edu</email>. --[[User:Emiller|Emiller]]<br />
