Slippery Rock University is committed and focused on achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2037 through a Climate Action Plan that sets sustainability goals for the university in order to achieve the overall goal of carbon neutrality. For this assignment I propose to create a chart that displays the sustainability efforts that have been put in place over the last 15 years at Slippery Rock University. More specifically, I will show the overall decrease in energy use, reduction of landfill waste and decrease in greenhouse gas emissions on campus from 2005 until today. Sustainability at SRU is newsworthy to SRU students due to proximity and impact because these are measures that affect all of us during our time here. This is also newsworthy because the Slippery Rock University student population may not be aware of all the work that is being done in regards to the sustainability of the university.They not only impact us now, but all sustainable measures impact our futures as well as they are working to save the earth. This information is public and is located on the SRU website under the Sustainability tab. I plan to get a quote from a member of the office of sustainability here at SRU to ask about how they have achieved these reductions, and how they plan to continue doing so in the future. I plan to show this data through a grouped column chart or a scatter plot so that it is clear to see the progression of each category of sustainability throughout the years.
