Students and faculty discussed

ways to manage the nation’s
energy requirement and protect
the
rights
of
both
Native

Americans and the environment
during
a
town
hall
hosted

Tuesday evening by LSA Student
Government.
The
town
hall

was sprouted out of the national
controversy
surrounding
the

Dakota Access Pipeline.

About 35 people met in the

Michigan League to listen to four
panelists: Mark Barteau, director
of the University of Michigan
Energy Institute, Philip Deloria,
professor of history and American
culture, who is an expert of
Native American studies, LSA
senior Jayson Toweh, president

of Students for Clean Energy and
Adam Simon, associate professor
of Earth and Environmental
Sciences.

LSA sophomores Sophia Leon

and Connor Kippe — respective
chair and vice chair of the sub-
committee of LSA SG called
Taking Responsibility for the
Earth and Environment — began
planning the event shortly after
the 2016 presidential election.

The
pipeline’s
proposed

route crosses under a lake
near the Standing Rock Sioux
Reservation in North Dakota.
Thousands of demonstrators
from
across
the
country

spent months camping on
the
reservation
in
protest

of the damage that could be
done by the pipeline to the
Sioux Tribe’s water sources.
In December, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers announced
the 1,172-mile pipeline would
be rerouted, but President
Donald Trump reversed the
decision with an executive
action on Jan. 24, ordering
construction to continue.

“We decided to organize

(the event) quite a while ago,”
Kippe said. “It’s taken a while
to get all of the professors
together,
but
we
started

planning the event back when
it was still really contentious
and in was up in the air a lot,
now it’s a little bit more subtle.”

Leon
stated
changing

policies and administrations
resulted in some challenges
planning the event.

“It’s interesting, because

we’ve seen a lot of changes
while planning the event in
terms of the administration
and
what
actions
they’ve

taken,” Leon said. “We just
hope people get a balanced
view and the different facets of
the problem.”

The University of Michigan’s

School of Information has

achieved a Platinum-level

certification for sustainability

from the Office of Campus

Sustainability.

All three UMSI locations

earned the platinum certification

—the highest certification

offered— and is the first

school within the University of

Michigan to do so.

UMSI’s locations in North

Quad, Maynard Street and North

University Avenue achieved

Silvers status in 2014 and Gold

status in 2015. These locations

are among the 165 certified

Sustainable Workplaces on

campus.

“Earning this certification

was truly an all-school effort, led

by a dedicated and determined

team of staff members who

worked with imagination and

commitment to improve our

Planet Blue status, year by year,”

said UMSI Dean Thomas Finholt,

according to the University

Record.

The standards set by the

Office of Campus Sustainability

in 2012 provide departments

with steps to certification,

including recommendations

on sustainable practices and

methods for identifying potential

issues.

UMSI trained all its new

employees with the Planet

Blue Ambassador program,

which made 85 percent of its

staff certified Planet Blue

Ambassadors and earned them

the Platinum-level certification.

Planet Blue represents the

University’s commitment to

becoming even more sustainable

by 2025.

Additional UMSI

initiatives contributed to their

Platinum rating, including

increasing reusable mug usage,

programming printers to print

double-sided, purchasing

rechargeable batteries, enabling

sleep mode on computers and

printers and installing timers on

hallway lights.
