I voted because I matter. I
voted because generations
before me mattered, as well
as the generations after me.
My black vote will forever be
flexed.

Hundreds, if not a thousand,
crows cawing in the treetops on
Michigan central campus just
before sunrise. I sense that this
is involved with the origins of the
world ‘cacophony’. #words

“What’s the first election you
remember and what was it
like for you?”
“I think I was in 7th
grade, this was Gore
vs. Bush. And I don’t
remember a lot, I
remember that Gore
won, and then he
didn’t win. That was
the big thing of that
year, that he won
the popular vote.
And I don’t think I
understood in those
terms, I just know I
was very confused,
because I thought
Gore won, and I’m
fro Brooklyn, New
York, and my family’s
pretty Democrat for
the most part, so I
was like, ‘oh, this is
good!’ Al Gore won.’”

Grant Faber is the president of
Students for Clean Energy, a
group of undergraduate students
who advocate for and educate
students on renewable energy
around
campus.
Faber
and
his student circle are looking
forward to the work of the
carbon neutrality commission,
but are urging Schlissel to
appoint individuals who are
committed to pursuing effective
and timely initiatives in response
to climate change.
“The
success
of
this
commitment
will
ultimately
come down to whom President
Schlissel appoints to the carbon
neutrality commission, so it
is imperative that we push for
the proper individuals to be
included,” Faber said.
The University was one of the
last Big 10 schools to set carbon
emissions goals. The current
goal, set in 2011, aims to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions 25
percent below 2006 levels by
2025. In comparison, Michigan
State University set a goal in 2009
to reduce emissions 65 percent
below its 2010 levels by 2030, and
Ohio State University’s goal set
in 2011 is to achieve carbon
neutrality by 2050.
Concerns
over
the
University’s
lack
of
aggression on emissions
reductions
heightened
when
the
University
announced it will expand its
central power plant, an $80
million dollar investment
approved
by
the
U-M
Board of Regents in March
2017 that will facilitate the
installation of a natural gas
turbine. Student activists
and environmental groups
protested
the
heavy
investment
in
a
non-
renewable energy source,
but the University contends
the turbine would reduce
emissions to half of its 2025
goal.
Andrew Berki, director
of the Office of Campus
Sustainability,
echoed
this
logic,
emphasizing
the transition to natural
gas is still a step toward
cleaner energy. As of fall
2017, the University had
reached 20 percent of its
carbon emissions goal and
the expansion would boost its
progress to 50 percent. Berki
also explained how Schlissel
initiating steps toward carbon
neutrality would be pivotal in
efforts to take action against
climate change.
“With the central power plant
turbine upgrade and pursuit of a
Power Purchase Agreement for
renewable energy, we expect to
reach the current goal of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions 25
percent by 2025, which is well
ahead of schedule,” he said. “The
announcement
by
President
Schlissel to form a commission
tasked with developing a plan
to put U of M on a path toward
carbon neutrality is a major
commitment by our institution.”
Michael
Garfield,
director
of the Ecology Center, a local
nonprofit, worked closely with
students to think critically about
the power plant expansion and
explained how his work centers
on advocating for mitigation
initiatives in Ann Arbor and
Detroit. According to Garfield, 25
percent of all carbon emissions
in Ann Arbor are generated
by
University
operations.
He
applauded
Schlissel’s
commitment
to
carbon
neutrality.
“The University, given how
big an institution it is, it could
make
a
dramatic
statement
about innovative and visionary
approaches to address climate
change if it takes big action,” he
said.
