KEY ISSUES:

1. Why do institutions need to conduct inventories? What is the significance of knowing greenhouse gas emissions and impact on environment.

2. Which campuses have done inventories, what effect has the results had on reductions of greenhouse gases and sustainability? Once the inventory is conducted on The Evergreen campus what will happen?

3. Will Evergreen take the "Kyoto Challenge?"
