Why are we doing this competition?
 |
By conserving energy, we can help reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions into the atmosphere. |
Using less water means reducing our negative impact on the environment. |
 |
 |
Because UConn runs entirely off of wells, UConn's water consumption has already contributed to drying up a stretch of the Fenton River during the dry season. |
Previous Eco-Madness competitions have saved up to 20.6 tons of CO2 in only 30 days! |
|
Special thanks to the UConn Co-op for their generous prize donations!
