University Business praises 乐播传媒 climate and facilities planning

A University Business magazine story, explains how U.S. college and university presidents are keeping true to their sustainability promises during hard economic times. 乐播传媒 is singled out for efficiently aligning its carbon action plan with overall facilities planning efforts.

鈥淭he way we approached our climate action plan is characteristic of 乐播传媒,鈥 says 乐播传媒 President Elaine Tuttle Hansen. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 throw money at problems. We figure out a solution within our means.鈥

The magazine, a national publication for higher education decision makers, notes that 乐播传媒 is working toward its “aggressive goal” of carbon neutrality by 2020 while also moving forward with a new phase of facilities planning and construction.

The story quotes Sustainability Coordinator Julie Rosenbach, who explains that 乐播传媒 has integrated sustainability ideas and costs into its infrastructure planning, rather than proposing the projects separately, where they would compete for funding.

Integrated planning saves money, increases efficiencies and ensures sustainable growth, she says. 鈥淥ften the goals of energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions and saving money are compatible overall; it鈥檚 the initial capital costs that make people associate sustainability with higher cost.”
