Drexel University’s Institutional Commitment to Sustainability

I stand with the Drexel Sierra Club in
respectfully requesting that the Board of Trustees and Administration of Drexel
University implement the following environmental policies:

• Commit, in writing, to a University-wide carbon
  reduction of 80% by 2050 (approximately a 2% reduction per year) in
  accordance with recommendations from the Intergovernmental Panel on
  Climate Change
• Create an Office of Sustainability to oversee
  this reduction, and make Drexel a leader in campus sustainability and
  education
• Commit to transparency of Drexel’s endowment, and
  invest 1% of our 2009 endowment into a revolving loan fund for
  environmental efficiency projects on campus

These actions are
essential for the continuing environmental sustainability of Drexel University,
and can no longer be neglected. While
personal accountability is essential for the success of environmental
sustainability, we must see an institutional commitment that can lead our
students to a sustainable lifestyle.  We
ask that you strengthen the future of our University through the steps outlined
above.

Signed,
