The 2015 iCAP, chapter 8, objective 1 is, "By the end of FY16, conduct a Request for Proposals process for verified carbon offsets — and undertake the first campus purchase of offsets." iSEE is developing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for purchasing carbon credits, aka carbon offsets.

iSEE is developing the technical specifications for a Request for Bids (RFB) for purchasing carbon credits, aka carbon offsets in FY17. These will be used both to replace the carbon credits sold from calendar year 2016, and as a starting inventory for the Virtual Storeroom.

During this process, iSEE will develop detailed specifications for carbon offsets to ensure that all purchased offsets are additional (in the sense that they enable reductions beyond business-as-usual), measurable, conservative (to ensure reductions are not overstated), permanent, independently verified, trackable, and transparent. The 2015 iCAP intended to have an RFP done by the end of FY16, and the current schedule will have the purchase completed by the end of FY17.

Background

Because campus sells carbon credits through the Carbon Credit Purchasing Program (C2P2) at Second Nature, we need to replace those boutique carbon credits with carbon offsets.  By the end of FY17, we will buy 103,000 carbon offsets (equivalent to 103,000 tons of greenhouse gasses not being released into the atmosphere) to replace those sold from calendar year 2016.

Additionally, in the same RFB, we will purchase 10,000 additional carbon offsets which will be used to set up a new virtual storeroom to allow campus units to voluntarily offset their carbon emissions, for example from air travel to scholarly meetings.

Subject: RE: Rvat Containers

Hello Daphne.  We are going to schedule to delivery the containers on 8/11 between 8am – 2pm.  If something changes and you want sooner, just let me know.  Thank you.

Attendance: Jen Fraterrigo, Daphne Hulse, Marty Kaufmann, Zach Acton, Tim Knox

Agenda

1. Quick recap of past accomplishments and opportunities (Jen)
2. Messaging about bringing reusable bottles into facilities (Jen), internal/external
   1. Zach and Marty commented that they are currently working on their game day website, and they will be updating their messaging regarding water bottles during this process/get an updated image for the clear bag policy.
   2. Tim and Zach are pushing for gate attendance to accurately assess water bottles at games (and work on not refusing the bottles that are accepted according to the policy).
3. Selling reusable bottles at games/events and status of hydration stations (Jen)
   1. The Soybean Association handed out free water bottles at a game. DIA has no issue with this concept. Usually it is easiest to find a sponsor who can help with the purchasing.
   2. Game Day Spirit is the merchandise company.
   3. Huff Hall - DIA controls only Room 100, so any hydration stations would need to be funded by the state-supported facility.
   4. DIA noted that during softball the Monster water stations were a big hit. The DIA would look into where else the Monsters can be used.
4. Messaging during games (Jen)
   1. It is easiest to provide content to DIA that can be disseminated with a social media focus, or through the game day script itself.
   2. Hydration stations can be highlighted in the script with a customer service/health & safety focus. It is easier to promote things when they fall under these categories.
   3. In the pre-game emails sent to ticketholders, we can also put content in here (we're not sure how many people really read through all the info provided in these emails, but it is another outlet).
      1. There are thousands of tailgaters who come only for the tailgating and will not attend the game, so they won't see this information necessarily.
   4. Zach noted that during game day press releases, DIA can give call outs to new stuff, so this may be another outlet.
5. Recycling bins at SFC (Daphne)
   1. Recapped the two zero waste games held at State Farm Center, and the need for recycling on the upper concourse.
   2. The recommendation transmitted from the iWG was originally sent to the DIA, but State Farm Center is owned by both the DIA and Student Affairs (Lowa). Jen noted that the recommendation may need to be sent to Lowa, too.
   3. Marty has monthly meetings with Lowa, and will bring this up for conversation with him.
6. Tailgating plans (Daphne)
   • How many and which home games to focus on
   • Locations for dumpsters where bags will be collected (2 lots?)
     • DIA expects that walking the bags to the collection sites may be too much of an expectation for tailgaters. We'll have to test it and see.
     • Volunteers picking up blue bags left behind in lots may be good.
     • DIA is concerned that the dumpsters will become general trash piles, unless they are otherwise noted.
       • (F&S will be providing banners for the dumpsters, and all dumpsters will be staffed with volunteers to avoid this pitfall)
   • Confirm that parking lot/gate attendants will hand out blue bags
     • Confirmed. The parking lot supervisors will assist with this task.
   • Locations for 20 bins from Coke for unbagged recyclables
     • North side of Grange Grove is predominantly students, and this would be a great area to place the bins.
     • Portal 1 and Portal 2 on the west side of Memorial Stadium are the busiest entrances for games, so the bins in this area is great, too.
   • Connecting with volunteer groups who clean up after games
     • Did not get to this topic in the conversation, was sent as a follow up in email.
   • Incentivizing volunteer participation
     • Did not get to this topic in the conversation, was sent as a follow up in email.

F&S Policy on the purchase of paper states that, "When purchasing paper for copiers and printers, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified products with a minimum of 30 percent recycled content must be selected."
