General Guidelines |
The ultimate outcome of this project is the conservation of Great Lakes water and reductions of criteria air pollutants, solid and hazardous waste, and emissions associated with climate change. Working with 13 facilities in Michigan, the team expects to reduce water use by over 15 million gallons per day, to eliminate almost 3 million tons of solid waste, reduce CO2 emissions by over 11,000 tons, reduce emissions of criteria air pollutants by 150,000 pounds, and reduce hazard chemical use by over 200,000 gallons each year. In these transactions and working with landowners in Illinois and Michigan, the team will develop a series of tools to track and measure the full extent of the environmental impacts associated with specific reduction actions. In conjunction with a panel of Sustainability Institute Fellows, the team will verify these ecosystem impacts and identify third party transactions to retire the benefits. |
