These investments are likely excluded from UW's "carbon footprint" but in fact they should be included into the Sustainability Plan. All UW employees should be offered an easy option to restructure their standard 401k into the New Green 401k.

UW prohibits that recently. Due to commonly perceived bike theft, UW must allow faculty/staff to bring our bicycles to our offices again. Also deploy "decoys" (gps-tracked "bait" bikes) outside to track down bike thieves so that people are not afraid to park bikes outside.

(1) Expand operating hours of ASUW bike shop at Husky Hub (subsidize those folks!); (2) repair or add bike lane connections to Burke Gilman Trail and north campus; (3) fund a student-led project to design and mass-produce cheapo bamboo-frame-based bikes to bring bike cost down (bamboo is one of the most environmentally friendly affordable materials that also traps carbon and doesn't rust) for students who cannot afford or don't want metal bikes.

# data[].attributes.body
Electric scooters and Lime bikes are NOT a problem. If that's what it takes for student/faculty/staff to leave their truck/SUV at home, let it be! Electric scooters and bikes are safe and affordable means of transportation for the UW community, helping reduce car traffic and harmful emissions. But early on, the UW Transportation Services has banned (geo-fenced!) central Seattle campus against all Lime scooters, making it a no-ride zone in the app. Confusingly, personal electric scooters and the much larger shared Lime bikes are allowed at least. Look at the University of California San Diego campus: they have no such ban and have embraced shared electric scooters on campus whole-heartedly. Please unban the scooters.

While it might not have as huge of a footprint compared to The Powerplant, campus EVs play a critical role in the way humans think about UW's leadership on climate. Humans look at others and copy them; so EVs lead by example, they impact future decisions of thousands of drivers on the road, pedestrians, and of course UW's own staff and students with regard to their own transportation. It is so heartbreaking to see UW truck drivers idling fumes on campus...

I think it was/is a really important project, not just for renewable energy generation but also for outreach, it sends clear message on campus and to the general public. Because the E18 and adjucent lots are always full of huge SUVs, F-150 trucks, Sherman tanks, and other gas guzzlers... (not just on game days but also during other events)

Current timeline (45% by 2030? including fleet transitioning to EV) feels too shy. Really important to speed up the gas plant transitioning to clean energy as much as we can! We were told that it's the 16th most polluting powerplant in all of Washington, which makes our university the second worst-emitting state agency in the entire state! There must be no burning biomass/wooden pellets or any other kind of burning in the equation though. This should improve our basic air quality on campus too!

Indigenous studies and reconciliation, the Native American Advisory Board, and the Indigenous People's Day celebration.

Clean tap water and refill stations on campus is great, BUT we need more (please upgrade old outdated rusted ones!) and single-use packaged products like Pepsi must be removed from campus (ideally, all the toxic polluting vending machines).

Our fundamental rights to clean air, clean water, clean food are still violated by fossil fuels and plastics on campus.

UW Farm and works hard to ensure Food Sovereignity and Zero Waste (at a former city dump site) but they need more support.

Buying nothing beats buying less all the time.

Let's use less, have less, care more.

Bioplastics are plastics; and they are usually quite harmful, not a real solution (Husky Hub, UW Med, etc).

Proximity to public transport is good, BUT using personal green transport (bike, e-scooter, EV) is much harder.

Being supportive of homeless people as well as hospitable to migratory and urban wildlife on campus is maybe okay.

Participation in decision-making processes that affects the environment is officially confirmed by this session.

More prioritizing environmental sustainability, health and well-being over endless "economic growth" and corporate greed.

Humans are social creatures influencing each other interpersonally in a process termed social or behavioral contagion.

In the U.S., we have less than 4% of our original forests left. Let's plant a few more trees on campus!

Students, faculty, staff need more nature on campus to feel more connected with nature, not separate from it.

Obviously cutting all ties with the fossil-fuel and plastic linked companies but I don't know if it's already achieved or not.

Officially prohibit taxpayer-funded fossil fuel research, hiring and campaigning on campus.

Resist and expose the techno-greenwashing by Gates, Bezos and others who are promoting false solutions, including nuclear fusion, AI, "green" hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, geoengineering, cloud brightening, carbon offsetting, etc.

They are making money off of the climate crisis, further concentrate wealth and political power, not fixing the problem but making it even worse, and moving us further away from Just Transition.

Even hydroelectricity is not really a clean renewable energy for many reasons, and is temporary.

The climate crisis should not be reduced to a crisis of carbon: addressing only CO2 emissions without challenging the resource-intensive growth-at-all-costs business-as-usual won't resolve the crisis.

A truthful just transition is place-based and people+nature-oriented (instead of profit-oriented).

It's time for UW community to wake up and push back on its unhealthy obsession/addiction with its football religion!

Recreational sports are more inclusive, equitable, just, healthy, sustainable.

The root causes of the climate change crisis are multifaceted and intersectional.

We all can live well without living better at the expense of others.

We need more flight-shaming for most (but not all) UW members.

Transition is inevitable, Justice is not.

Sustainability and environmental literacy are well-integrated into every graduate and undergraduate degree program. Football has long been eliminated from the UW Athletics program and replaced with non-competetive, just, stress-free recreational sports promoting cooperation, well-being, sustainability and environmental justice, promoting a more inclusive, equitable and diverse campus culture, leading to positive environmental outcomes. Students are free from the obsessive "football religion" and exploitation by the football industry on campus, and are now prioritizing academics over athletics, well-being over addiction.

The highly controversial UW-sponsored Marine Cloud Brightening Program ( https://atmos.uw.edu/faculty-and-research/marine-cloud-brightening-program/ ) has long been shut down but remembered and ridiculed as an example of false solutions, techno-greenwashing and business hijacking (including nuclear fusion, AI, "green" hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, geoengineering, cloud brightening, carbon offsetting, etc.)

Innovative research into cheap, simple, and universal energy sources (wind and solar) is still championed by the UW Clean Energy Institute, but main focus is on multidisciplinary, intersectional, social aspects of the crisis, health, well-being and environmental justice.

Any fossil fuel linked research is outlawed and considered illegal at the federal level, thanks to the federal "End Polluter Welfare Act" (https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-omar-and-sen-sanders-introduce-legislation-end-corporate-welfare-fossil-0) that finally has been adopted.

UW campus has undergone a thorough rewilding (https://www.amazon.com/Book-Wilding-Practical-Guide-Rewilding/dp/1526659298/), so many curriculum activities are now conducted outside, under tree canopy and among resilient wild native plants, for students to feel more connected with nature. Many staff, faculty members and grad students work and socialize outside as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Net-zero emissions have been achieved long ago, with 100% of UW's energy coming from clean and renewable sources since 2035. This is supported by building efficiency, green transportation, walkable city, and zero waste circular campus economy. UW Farm now has more land and contributes even more to campus food soveregnity.

World-wide temperatures will have jumped unexpectedly by a few degrees due to tipping points, but UW Horticulture has gained prominence by breeding heat-tolerant crops, because we know: increased precipitation doesn't help to increase the yields, especially uneven landfalls-droughts patterns; increased CO2 concentration also doesn't help as experiments show (managed to reach only 10% increase in a controlled lab). As crop yields are gonna keep falling worldwide (with swings, we should see sharp effects within 20 years as it's a bell-shaped hump curve), heat-tolerance of the crops will become important, as well as wide-spread vegetarianism, no palm oil, no soybean oil and no sunflower oil in agriculture. By then, UW will be saving big time on its timely transition because costs of gas will become prohibitively high and expensive (future huskies might study development of the UW Sustainability Plan and thank us all, if it goes well...).

# data[].attributes.body
By 2050, UW Board of Regents has been expanded to be more intersectional and is no longer dominated by business people. This has enabled UW to more effectively deal with the magnitude of the climate challenge. The university has established a strong network of thoroughly vetted partnerships with local, national, and international (especially from "global south") organizations to co-create and implement the sustainable just solutions to climate change - with or without federal support. Some of these partnerships have resulted in the development of new approaches, policies, and practices adopted by the university, while others had to be terminated due to the federal "End Polluter Welfare Act" (https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-omar-and-sen-sanders-introduce-legislation-end-corporate-welfare-fossil-0).

City, county and state legislatures are also being engaged collaboratively by NGOs, UW admin, and student groups, and the School of Law to make improvements. E.g. local single-use plastic bans are super effective solution (that's why plastic industry lobbies so hard against them; local legislation and campus bans are a great way to reduce harm to students and local communities and encourage better alternatives. Plus, oftentimes local policy sets the stage for statewide and national policymakers to follow suit (domino/butterfly/snowball/ripple effects).

Meanwhile, representatives of native American tribes are consulted with and directly involved in ensuring land stewardship and campus biodiversity including migratory species (eco-refugees).

# data[].attributes.body
By 2050, the University of Washington will have established a comprehensive community engagement program that provides free or low-cost sustainability services to low-income and marginalized communities in the Tacoma/Seattle/Bothell regions. This program includes initiatives such as energy-efficient home retrofits, home solar, EV repair, community garden development, rain water management, first aid during heat waves and flash floods, and other environmental education programs, and resulted in significant improvements in health, well-being, and climate resilience of these local communities. More broadly, UW educational programs will have shifted from those dominated by Big Business, industry and technology to more sustainable, societally oriented, less resource-intensive programs to help local communities mitigate wide-spread soil degradation (currently at 1% per year), floods, toxic storm water runoffs, wildfires, droughts, water scarcity in the summer, and potentially, rising inequality and social instability.

To go even more local, the UW Goodwill Store could accept stuff people no longer need. The UW Farm and Botanical Gardens' Miller Library are uniquiely positioned to play a much more important role in the local community by championing Climate Change Education (e.g. via expos, workshops, open classes, talks, featured books) in the face of climate emergency. Simply talking to people about the impacts of their daily jobs on climate change and putting the culprit (the fossil fuel industry) in the spotlight can make a big difference by increasing local political pressure, and give each other hope that the worst outcomes of global heating and broken climate can still be averted in time by new policies and our collective actions.
