note from Billion Dollar Green Challenge

Posted by Morgan White on September 9, 2014

Hi Morgan and Mike,

It was great to speak with you both today and learn more about the revolving loan fund at UIUC. Your green revolving fund would be well-fit for the Billion Dollar Green Challenge.

I have attached an information packet with all you need to know about The Challenge. If you want to sign-on to The Challenge, sign page 15. If UIUC has a $2 million revolving fund, it would cost $1,000 a year to be on The Challenge.

I also attached the document with estimated lifespans for various energy efficiency equipment.

I'll be in touch in early November to get you GRITS trial access, unless I hear from you sooner!

Actually, Morgan, I see that you will be attending the Climate Leadership Summit hosted by Second Nature in Boston next month. Our office is actually down the hall from Second Nature. My boss, Mark Orlowski, will be at the Summit, and could always meet to answer questions. Also, if you want to meet up with me, I could meet by the conference as well. Just let me know if that would be helpful.

Thanks,

Shoshana
