Fall 2003 Pledge Card Campaign


As part of our energy program and in collaboration with the Vice Chancellor of Administration and Facilities Management, we ran an energy pledge card campaign during fall semester 2003. The ‘pledge’ was to reduce personal energy use by 10% by taking the actions listed on the card (such as turning off unnecessary lights and enabling sleep mode on computers). For every card signed, the Vice Chancellor committed $5/card towards energy conservation and renewable energy projects on campus. We had the help of over 50 volunteers for this campaign.

  • We collected over 13,000 signatures. This is over one third of the entire campus population – an almost unheard of number of signatures.
  • This generated $65,000 in funds.
  • Specific projects funded by this campaign included adding motion sensors to large classrooms, insulating heat pipes and helping to fund the solar panels on the UMC.
