Skidmore College has committed itself to reaching 60% of electricity from renewable sources and a 75% reduction in GHG emissions by 2025. Skidmore is currently at 40% for each of these goals. We propose four projects (solar on campus, community shared solar, alternative student housing, and hydropower), which, if implemented, would increase our share of electricity from renewable sources to 51.2% and reduce our GHG emissions by 5.2%. Engagement from students and community members would also increase.
