In Vermont, Colleges Asked to Lead the Way to a Cleaner Future
Vermont colleges may play a central role in helping that state deal with climate change. The Vermont Governor’s Climate Change Commission may soon release a report recommending that the state harness higher education to deal with the problem, according to a story in the Times Argus, in Montpelier.
The colleges will provide expertise, research, and new graduates who have degrees in climate change to help deal with the problem, the report will say. The report may also call on the state to seek more efficient energy sources and to preserve farms and forests, which absorb carbon dioxide.
Undoubtedly, the research that institutions like Middlebury College have already put into reducing their own carbon emissions, their environmental footprints, and their local food sources may help guide the state.
