Going Green

Community and Environmental Planning students at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) created this film to highlight the University's new Green Initiative. As part of this initiative, UNH has embarked on two major infrastructure projects to reduce the University's carbon footprint. The first project, started in 2008 and nearing completion, is the renovation of James Hall to meet LEED standards. The second project curently underway, referred to as Eco-line, is designed to harvest and pump methane gas from a nearby landfill to UNH. The gas will power two turbines which will satisfy the bulk of the campus's energy needs. This film, narrated by Lindsey Moore and Craig Hammel, was created as part of a course called Community Development Perspectives with support from Extension Professor, Charlie French.
