A couple reasons I am trying to make this change:
- Eco friendliness - I believe it is a government's duty to be as eco-friendly as possible to pay homage to all the taxpayers funding government buildings and services.
- Urgency - According to 350.org the world has 10 years until we encounter irreversible climate change. It is very urgent that we as a school help make a difference in this respect.
- Need - Someone needed to get the ball rolling on renewable energy at U-32. I saw the opening and decided to step up

I have been involved in calculating the costs of renewable energy and the benefits of going renewable. I have been trying to calculate the monetary value of going renewable and have settled on the fact that it is invaluable to be environmentally friendly. U-32 should switch to renewable energy regardless of the costs. I have outlined this in my Renewables Proposal.
