•a EPA GREEN POWER PARTNERSHIP 2007-2008 College & University Green Power Challenge Champions Learn more about EPA's Partner Initiatives: • Partner Initiatives • Fortune 500 Green Power Challenge • College & University Challenge • ABA/EPA Law Firm Climate Challenge iPoiuer Challenge During the 2007-2008 academic year, EPA has tracked the green power purchasing of colleges and universities across collegiate athletic conferences. These conferences and their representative schools are displaying environmental leadership by buying green power to reduce the environmental impacts associated with their conventional electricity use. To take part in the Green Power Challenge, a conference's member schools must be purchasing a combined total of at least 10 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power. The leaders listed below have been recognized by EPA as award winners of EPA's 2007-2008 College & University Green Power Challenge. EPA presented two categories of awards for its 2007-2008 College & University Green Power Challenge: 1. Individual Conference Champions - To recognize the school that has made the largest individual purchase of green power within a qualifying conference; 2. Collective Conference Champions - To recognize the conference, and its respective participating schools, whose collective green power purchase was the largest among all participating conferences. Schools interested in taking part in the 2008-2009 College & University Green Power Challenge can start by purchasing green power and partnering with EPA.
