New Orleans is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of global warming. To understand how our everyday activities contribute to global warming, and to begin to understand the policies proposed for reducing carbon emissions, Tulane students have calculated the greenhouse gas emissions that result from activities on our uptown campus. Using this inventory as a guide, students in the Office of Environmental Affairs have promoted energy smart actions to the entire campus community.
