IBMC College in Fort Collins, Colorado is helping the local community reduce greenhouse gas emissions as a current participant in the City of Fort Collins ClimateWise program. Currently, at a Platinum level status, IBMC has the goal of moving to Gold Partner level by April of 2013.
“The ClimateWise program has afforded IBMC with the opportunity to make a positive impact on the local community, experience savings within our company and create an environmental awareness among staff, students and faculty.”
Eric Thompson, Campus Director, IBMC Fort Collins College
IBMC College has continued to follow ClimateWise’s membership requirements, as well as increase environment improvement tactics at the campus level since joining ClimateWise in 2009.
Such efforts include the following: co-hosting a Bike to Work Day breakfast station, employee carpooling, co-mingling recycling products, elimination of plastic cups for staff members in favor of glass products, old battery recycling, as well as the reduction of power usage by turning off lab and classroom computers overnight and on the weekends.
ClimateWise’s turn-key system allows businesses to achieve impactful results in their day-to-day operations and truly make a difference. The Fort Collins campus personnel look forward to bettering our climate through this continued partnership!”
