Woman and Gender Advocacy Center protests signs on CSU move-in day By Tony Villalobos May @TonyTheGnarly

While over 7,850 students were moving to campus last Wednesday, signs containing phrases such as “Thank you for sending us your daughters,” were displayed at several houses along Laurel Street. The Woman and Gender Advocacy Center combated these signs with a counter-protest. “These signs reflect what we are trying to fight,” said Carl Olsen, WGAC program coordinator.

For many incoming students, these signs along Laurel were among their first impressions of CSU. “When that’s the first thing you see, it represents CSU, Fort Collins and it tell them that sexual violence isn’t taken seriously,” said Whitney Gustafson, member of the Red Whistle Brigade and third year student. Gustafson said that at least four houses on Laurel Street were displaying signs that members of the WGAC called “problematic.” Several residence halls

are located on Laurel Street, including Corbett, Laurel Village, Westfall, Durward and Allison. Olsen said that while the signs that were displayed along Laurel Street do not cause violence, they support the culture that surrounds it. “This has been an ongoing (issue) every year and last year it came to our attention more,” Olsen said. “Last fall, other universities were gathering attention for similar signs.” Members of WGAC, the Red Whistle Brigade and Men in the

Movement went door-to-door last week to ask residents for their support in protesting the signs that were expected. The protesters asked for residents to refrain from putting up signs along Laurel that could potentially be harmful to students. “This is hugely problematic for our first year students as they come in,” WGAC Director Monica Rivera said. The protesters approached sign holders throughout the day and received mixed reactions. see WGAC on page 8 >>

New south campus parking garage open for use By Veronica Baas @vcbaas

This year, the new South College Parking Garage opened its doors to students and faculty, adding 650 new parking spaces to campus. Construction is still underway on the fourth level and the canopy rooftop, but the first three levels are officially open for use. The garage should be complete by the end of August, after roughly a year of construction. “We’re very pleased to have a new parking structure that aligns with campus culture sustainability,” said Fred Haberecht, the Assistant Director of Facilities Management. In line with CSU’s sustainability efforts, the roof of the structure has the capability to set up solar panels, which will be implemented soon. The garage will provide additional parking on the perimeter of campus, and it is located next to the transit line for commuter convenience. It will also be used to accommodate patients and

employees using the new medical center, slated for completion Fall 2017. “It’s just a good looking building,” Haberecht said. “It integrates into the campus aesthetic by sharing some of the characteristics that are common to other buildings on campus.” Many students have voiced their complaints about how difficult it can be to find parking on campus. The University is troubleshooting this issue to accommodate the growing population of students. “I previously have had a hard time parking on campus, but this year I purchased the commuter pass for the Z lot, so we’ll see how it goes,” said Amber Lee, a computer science student. Permits are available for purchase, but there are also pay-perhour spaces. Students who use the pay-per-hour spots will have the option to pay online using a phone application called Way-to-Park. The garage will have six charging ports for electric cars, bringing the total of charging ports on campus to 24. The

structure is equipped with the latest parking technology to help drivers find available spots efficiently using a light system.

“I’ve heard from other students that the commuter lots get full pretty quick,” Lee said. “I hope the project goes well, I

could see myself using the garage in the future.” Veronica Baas can be reached at news@collegian.com

Kosher Bistro opens in Parmelee Dining Center By Nataleah Small After seven years of work, the Kosher Bistro at Parmelee Dining Center at Colorado State University officially opened Aug. 22. “The Rabbi’s vision is to introduce this to the entire student body ... for students to learn more and understand about kosher food,” said David Green, Housing and Dining administrator. The eatery is the product of hours of effort by Rabbi and philosophy professor Yerachmiel Gorelik, the Housing and Dining staff and University president Tony Frank. However, for two years, the project was not considered financially viable by the University. According to Elizabeth Poore, Residential Dining Administrator, after observing an early cost-benefit analysis of the plan, it seemed as though the project would be too expensive for the University to undertake. At one point, the University was

considering creating a kosher food truck as an alternative. However, due to University regulations, the option was not considered viable. Yet, over the years, Gorelik continued to advocate for the establishment of a kosher eatery. He argued that it would be both a unique food experience and an educational experience. “No one could justify the patronage,” Gorelik said. “Then, all of a sudden, Housing and Dining called me and said, ‘Rabbi, we’re doing the kitchen.’” Gorelik said that the bistro was made possible because Tony Frank approved the project. “So I asked him, what happened? (He said) ‘even if there are two or three kids in the University who want to use it, the University could consider that because it is a home for everybody,’” Gorelik said. After hiring the bistro’s kosher supervisor, who is known as a mashgiach, and purchasing new kitchen appliances and

dining utensils, the bistro received its kosher certification. According to Gorelik, kosher means “fit to eat,” and refers to foods that adhere to kosher standards in the Torah. Gorelik said kosher foods include livestock such as cows, sheep and goats,

“The rabbi’s vision is to introduce this to the entire student body ... for students to learn more and understand about kosher food.” DAVID GREEN HOUSING AND DINING ADMINISTRATOR

as well as fish with fins and tails, and fruits and vegetables. Gorelik described eating ko-

sher as a cultural and religious tradition. “It’s a way of life,” Gorelik said. “Families that eat together stay together.” In order to construct the building, the staff had to meet specific standards. For example, in order to adhere to kosher standards, a new kitchen would need to be constructed that had not been exposed to dairy, because the Torah states that meat and dairy should not be served together. Gorelik stated that he examined greens that were triple-washed under a microscope in search of contaminates. “I have to come in and do occasional spot checks,” Gorelik said. “But that’s okay, it’s my passion.” Gorelik said that 50 percent of those who choose to eat kosher are not Jewish, but pursue the lifestyle because they value the high standard of food. After years of planning and preparation, and with the ap-

proval of Tony Frank, the bistro is now open for business at Parmelee. Although it may become a center for Jewish students to congregate, Gorelik and Poore both emphasized that this is an eatery for all students from all walks of life. “People are coming up, they’re curious,” Poore said. For those interested in tasting these meals, the Kosher Bistro will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. for lunch and from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for dinner Monday through Thursday. Green said the dining hall is interested in hearing students’ feedback, so survey cards will be displayed on dining tables. Green said that although there is still work to do on the bistro, he hopes it will gain popularity. “I’m excited to see the response we see in the coming weeks,” Green said. “I’m hoping that our numbers will climb real fast.” Nataleah Small can be reached at news@collegian.com

New bus route to serve Foothills Campus By Gabriel Go @jackal893

Students and faculty are now able to travel by bus between CSU’s main campus and the Foothills Campus, located on the west end of Laporte Avenue, due to the new TransFort Route 33. The route, which runs between the two campuses once every hour, began service Aug. 22. The route is the result of cooperation between Colorado State University and the Fort Collins TransFort service. The 2015-2016 Associated Students of Colorado State University administration worked to implement the route, and current ASCSU President Daniela Pineda Soracá approved the budget for the project. “This is a continuation of a great relationship that we have with ASCSU and CSU with regards to providing public transportation to the students, faculty and staff,” said Kurt Ravenschlag, general manager for TransFort. The opening of Route 33 signifies the complete connection of all the CSU campuses in Fort Collins. Prior to the route’s operations, students and faculty using the Foothills Campus were often faced with the challenge of traveling to and from the main campus without a personal vehicle. Because of the four-mile distance to the Foothills Cam-

pus from the main campus, students and faculty had to make decisions of whether they should hold classes, laboratories and research at the campus. “What makes this really significant is that this is the last location on campus in Fort Collins that we haven’t served by transit,” said Aaron Fodge, CSU’s alternative transportation manager. “So, now we’re able to serve all incoming students and tell them honestly that you don’t need to have a personal vehicle to go to class here.” Route 33 also plays a role in helping CSU achieve its Climate Action Plan goals. In 2008, CSU signed the American College & University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), an effort by American universities and colleges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In line with the commitment, CSU plans to reduce emissions by 75 percent by 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality, or zero net carbon emissions, by 2050. According to ASCSU Director of Environmental Affairs Hanna Johnson, Route 33 will help reduce CSU’s carbon emissions. “The more we can encourage students to leave their cars at home and use alternative transportation, the faster the University can reach its net zero carbon emission goals,” Johnson said. Johnson said that between

faculty, students and staff, more than 14,000 metric tons of carbon were emitted in 2015 due to commuting. “Having easy access to every CSU building through public transportation helps the University create a car-free culture on campus, and I think that’s definitely worth ASCSU’s time, money and efforts,” Johnson said.

The route is operated through contract by Green Ride, a private shuttle company serving Wyoming and northern Colorado. According to Green Ride community outreach officer Ann Schofield, Green Ride is a member of ClimateWise, an effort by the city of Fort Collins to help businesses work towards being as sustainable as possible. The inclusion of Route 33

has also brought the Transit Center bays to full capacity. Fodge said that this means that a new bay will need to be constructed for private shuttles. Fodge also expects that the new bay will also be used by vehicles from transportation services such as Lyft and Uber in the future. Gabriel Go can be reached at news@collegian.com

Jill Stein, Green Party presidential nominee, to campaign in Fort Collins Saturday By Erik Petrovich @EAPetrovich

Jill Stein, the 2016 presidential nominee for the Green Party, will be campaigning in Fort Collins Saturday, appearing with the Green Party’s candidate for the Senate seat of Sen. Michael Bennet, D-CO. Stein will be at Avogadro’s Number from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 27. Reservations to the event are filling up, and can be made online at Jill Stein’s campaign website. Stein has campaigned on a message similar to that of Sen. Bernie Sanders, who won Colorado during the state’s Democratic Party primaries, and has made efforts to draw his supporters to the Greens. Stein faces a tough road to victory as a presidential candidate from a third party. Stein is in favor of much stronger environmental regulations, a single-payer public health insurance plan, abolishing “corporate personhood” es-

tablished in the now-infamous Citizens United vs. FEC case and a $15 minimum wage. At press time, Stein was polling at an average of 3.3 percent nationally according to Real Clear Politics, making her the fourth-highest polling candidate for the presidency. Gary Johnson, the libertarian candidate, is currently polling at about 9 percent. 2016 seems to be the year for third parties - Stein and Johnson combined are currently on track to take more than 10 percent of the vote. Contrast that to 2012, when Stein took just under .4 percent and Johnson received 1 percent. Stein has repeatedly said that she does not believe that Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton are acceptable choices for president, a campaigning line she has found effective in a year when the two major party nominees have historically low approval ratings.

Rams offense to be led by running game By Eric Wolf @Eric_Wolf

Junior center and anchor of the Colorado State offensive line Jake Bennett knows the offensive potential of this year’s team is there. All he has to do is look back to last season when things started coming together for CSU’s offense and the team won four out five games to close the year. “I think you saw a little bit of it last year when we started rolling and clipping off some good rushing yards and getting our passing game going,” Bennett said. The Rams reeled off four straight wins heading into the Arizona bowl defeat to Nevada due in large part to the offensive production Bennett talked about. Over the win streak, the team averaged 34.2 points per game and ran for an impressive 259 yards per game over that span.

It’s a deep, experienced unit. One that is ready to pave the way for the offense this season. Now, as the 2016 season opens up, gone are playmakers Rashard Higgins and Joe Hansley, and there are still question marks at quarterback, wide receiver and on the defensive side of the ball. The 2016 offensive formula could look very similar to the end of last season: run the ball early and often. The team has the pieces to keep the offense on the field and to chew up the clock, which will most likely be necessities this season. Offensive linemen Fred Zerblis, Zack Golditch, Nick Callender and Bennett return to lead one of the most experienced pieces on the team. They will be paving the way for CSU’s deep stable of talented running backs in Dalyn Dawkins,

Izzy Matthews, and freshman standout Marvin Kinsey Jr. Coach Bobo announced on Monday that the team’s initial starting five linemen would be Zerblis, Callender, Bennett, Golditch and senior Nebraska transfer Paul Thurston. Trae Moxley and Colby Meeks are the next men up in the rotation. It’s a deep, experienced unit. One that is ready to pave the way for the offense this season. “We have definitely come a long way from last year,” Bennett said. “I think we definitely could step up and fill that role of the workhorses that guys can get behind.” A large part of this group’s development comes from settling in with offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Will Friend. It took awhile for the group to adjust to Friend’s coaching style last year, but when it clicked, it clicked, Bennett said. That’s when the offense started rolling. “I think last year we could have been really really good,” Golditch said. “I think towards the end of the season we started to see that. We started to pick it up a little bit.” Now, the offensive has had an entire offseason with coach Friend and his offense. They are familiar with his coaching style. They know his expectations. The unit is much farther along than it was last year. It does not hurt that the players running behind CSU’s “workhorses” come complete with plenty of talent themselves. Dawkins and Matthews have continued to impress throughout spring and fall camp. Both players’ potential showed at points throughout last season, but the expectation entering this season is that both backs will improve upon last year and be more consistent. The two experienced runners are joined by fall camp standout freshman Marvin Kinsey Jr. Coach Bobo calls him a playmaker, and in the team’s scrimmage last Saturday, Kinsey led the team in rushing with 157 yards on 15 carries. The talent in the backfield is an offensive lineman’s dream. “Those are the guys that we want to block for,” Golditch said. “If you have a nasty get after it running back, those are the type of guys that we are gonna lay ourselves down for and go all out for. Seeing them have good plays, it’s a great feel-

ing for us.” They are offensive lineman, they know they are not getting any glory or camera time, but they have an opportunity to block for some aggressive, playmaking running backs. That’s all they could ask for. And for the running backs, the feeling is mutual. There is a lot of confidence built into the familiarity the running backs

have with the offensive line that returns four starters. “It’s a lovely thing,” Dawkins said. “(There’s) lots of experience and that means a lot of good things will happen. It’s a lot of trust. I trust those guys up front with all my heart. Being with those guys again, it’s only getting stronger.” That relationship needs to keep getting stronger for CSU

this season. With the talent at running back and on the offensive line, it will come as no surprise if the 2016 season runs through the running game. “I want to run the ball,” Golditch said. “If I could, I would run the ball 75 percent of the game because I think that’s where games are won.” Eric Wolf can be reached at sports@collegian.com

No. 25 CSU volleyball tabbed as MW preseason favorites by coaches By Michael Roley @michael_roley

The Mountain West volleyball coaches poll, which was released Wednesday, Aug. 17, placed the CSU volleyball team in a familiar position. Winners of seven consecutive Mountain West championships, the Rams were chosen as the preseason favorites by the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches, receiving six of 11 possible first-place votes for a total of 96 points. Boise State, who finished second in MW play a year ago, was picked as a close second after getting four first-place votes and 92 total points. Rival Wyoming came in third, garnering a single topplace vote and 80 points. The Rams, who are ranked No. 25 nationally in the AVCA

preseason coaches poll, have won 13 of the 17 possible Mountain West championships since the league was formed. Junior middle blocker Alexandra Poletto was the only CSU player named to the preseason all-MW team. Poletto, an all-conference performer from a year ago, averaged 1.33 blocks per set last season. Boise State landed three players on the all-conference team, including preseason player of the year in junior outside hitter Sierra Nobley. The Rams kick off their 2016 campaign Aug. 26 at home against visiting North Dakota State. Michael Roley can be reached at sports@collegian. com.

CSU volleyball heads into season potent offensively, loaded with options By Michael Roley

When the CSU volleyball team takes the court for its season opener Aug. 26 there will be no shortage of offensive firepower or options for head coach Tom Hilbert to turn to at various positions for the No. 25 ranked Rams. CSU returns three players from last season who tallied more than 100 kills. Junior middle blocker Alexandra Poletto returns as the Rams’ lone preseason All-Mountain West player after notching 229 kills while carrying a .345 hitting percentage last season. Alongside Poletto, junior outside hitter Jasmine Hanna returns after burying 220 kills a year ago. Sanja Cizmic finished her sophomore season with 122 kills while splitting opportunities with Hanna and then-senior and all-MW performer Alex Reid, who led the team in kills with 327, at the outside hitter position. “Offensively we have a lot of different weapons,” coach Tom Hilbert said. “Our outside hitting, statistically in practice, has been as good as it’s been in many years with Sanja and Jasmine.” The Rams will turn to true freshman Katie Oleksak to get the ball to their big hitters. Oleksak, a two-time Third Team Under Armor All-American selection from Phoenix will take over the setter position. Even as a freshman, Oleksak has earned the confidence and trust of her older teammates.

“She is doing a great job setting and getting the ball where we want it all the time,” Poletto said. “It’s going to be really easy for us to adjust to sets.” There has been a competition at the defensive specialist spot throughout preseason practices. Senior Cassidy Denny is slated in the position right now, according to Hilbert. Denny has by far the most experience at the position, having seen action in each of her first three collegiate years and finishing fourth on the team a year ago with 244 digs. But freshman Amanda Young is in the mix, as is McKenna Thornlow, a junior transfer from North Texas. Sophomore Katie Craig has also done good things in practice, Hilbert said. “It’s still wide open, “Hilbert said. “We think we know who we’re going to play but if they’re not playing well we’ve got some other options.” This year’s squad will feature a number of players who could see the floor, giving the Rams potential depth across the board and an ability to adapt to any given situation during the course of a game. In addition to the versatility at defensive specialist, the Rams could plug players in at positions across the floor. “We do have a lot of options,” Hilbert said. “We have three middles (middle blockers) all that can play. We’ve got a couple of freshmen that are able to come and do some things as outside hitters.” Michael Roley can be reached at sports@collegian.com

>> WGAC from page 8 Some residents took their signs down, while others refused. “I think it’s an attempt to welcome people into the University without realizing the harm it could be,” Olsen said. Members of the WGAC said that the signs could trigger sexual assault victims. Over 60 percent of incoming students living in the residence halls reported that they have been a victim of sexual violence or know someone who has, according to an annual WGAC freshman survey. Kevin Cabrera, Men in the Movement member and sophomore student, said move-in day

was “pretty intense.” Cabrera said that interactions between groups were different: some sign owners were easy to engage with in conversation, and others had a “good amount of pushback.” Some police officers became involved during the protests, and at least one officer spoke to residents about their signs. However, there is no law in Fort Collins that requires residents to take the signs down. “(The police presence was a) really cool community effort to address the issue,” said Olsen, “We felt really good doing our part and... we let students moving in know that they were supported.” Some students displaying

signs responded to the protesters by saying “I don’t see the harm,” and “It’s just a joke.” While no physical violence occurred, threats were made against the protesters. Some protesters reported that they were threatened with physical violence if they crossed on to the residents’ property. “Knowing how high the stakes are, if the intent of these signs were to welcome students, there is a better way to do it,” Olsen said. People who were holding or displaying the signs took them down while protesters were present, but Gustafson said that the signs were put back up

moments after members of the WGAC left. “People aren’t taking (sexual violence) seriously, all of these jokes have impact that lead to violence.” Gustafson said. “(Students) know whose side they’re on when they see that.” Cabrera said that, following the protest, students have approached the WGAC for resources and support in response to the signs. This was the first year protesters were present for move-in day, though controversial signs have been present in the past. “Without a doubt, we know that those views expressed are not what a majority of students

feel,” Olsen said. Olsen said the WGAC hopes to make “The Principles of Community” available to all students to help establish a welcoming environment. “The Principles of Community” is a 200-word document that outlines the principles of how the CSU community treats one another. “I definitely feel like we made a difference that day,” Cabrera said following the protest. Resources for students are available at the CSU Health Network, and the 24-Hour Victim Assistance Team at 970-4924242. Tony Villalobos May can be reached at news@collegian.com

Opinions wanted for new Collegian segment, CampusView Taylor Tougaw @TTougaw

This year, the Collegian will be introducing a new segment called CampusView. When the Collegian staff only has a fixed number of columnists writing all year, that means readers get the same opinions from the same people. This can get pretty old for many, so we’re introducing a way for the community to be heard in their college newspaper without being a full-time staff member. Once a week, we will pose a question to the entire campus

regarding any current issue in the public sphere. This can be political, cultural, moral or philosophical. Sometimes the issues will be light and fun as well. Issues will include decisions and events in Fort Collins and Colorado as a whole. Readers can then type up their opinions on the issues, and potentially have it published. We will then publish two opposing viewpoints on the same day on the given issue, in order to shed light on how the Fort Collins community is viewing and reacting to local and world events. Writers can choose to be named or remain anonymous. In order to create a submission, writers need to craft the following: Include your name,

Go Outdoors: CSU graduate leads veterans on Mount Rainier

By Nevin Fowler @nevintfowler

Nathan Perrault, a graduate of Colorado State University`s Human Dimensions of Natural Resources program, led a group of U.S military veterans to the summit of Mount Rainier. The dormant volcano, which stands at 14,416 feet, is a heavily glaciated peak located in Mount Rainier National Park, about two hours south of Seattle, Washington. Routes to the top are technical and require climbers to be proficient in mountaineering as well as glacial travel. The trip was planned and

funded by Veterans Expeditions (VetEx), a non-profit based in Colorado. The VetEx mission is to “Empower veterans to overcome challenges associated with military service through outdoor training and leadership.” It provides the opportunity for veterans to connect with each other through outdoor activities. “We want to show veterans that they have not yet completed the most important task in their life,” Perrault said. VetEx expects each team member to contribute equally to each expedition. Most prospective climbers are forced to hire

guides in order to safely summit Mount Rainier, but hiring a guide is expensive and reduces the authenticity of the experience. This makes the teamwork of the veterans much more crucial to these expeditions. Perrault and the other VetEx team leaders provide veterans with the knowledge and experience in order to facilitate an authentic experience. Perrault is a veteran himself. At 17 years of age, he enlisted in the U.S. Marines with an infantry contract. He was deployed once to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. The deployments and military experience had a large influence in his life. “They made me realize what is important in life,” Perrault said. Perrault graduated from CSU this past May. His military experiences inspired him to help others, which led him to become involved with VetEx after graduating. On this expedition, VetEx members climbed the Emmons Glacier Route. The route is a multi-day climb that gains over 10,000 feet of elevation. Due to the extreme elevation gain, one of the climbers experienced symptoms of altitude sickness on the second day, forcing the climber to turn back. Perrault, along with Executive Director of VetEx and 2014 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Nick Watson, helped bring the

sick climber down safely. The rest of the group continued. At 12 p.m. on July 16th, two members of the team stood on the summit, thus marking another successful VetEx expedition. One of the climbers was Richard Salas, who is currently

Lindsey Stirling’s new album features energetic songs and powerful lyrics By Connor DeBlieck From becoming a sensation on YouTube to auditioning for America’s Got Talent in 2012, Lindsey Stirling is back at it again with her third album “Brave Enough.” The album picks up where her previous album “Shatter Me” left off and continues to launch her towards the spotlight. Stirling is a rising musician whose sound features a blend of instrumental violin and electronic beats that are meant to energize listeners. Unlike her previous albums, “Brave Enough” is noticeably more upbeat, following the theme of overcoming individual barriers. “Brave Enough” also includes a wide array of collaborations with artists including Christina Perri, Carah Faye and Andrew McMahon. Comprised of 14 tracks, “Brave Enough” combines Stirling’s classic sound with experimental rhythms. One of the tracks that especially stands out is “Mirage.” It has an exotic tune that is very different from the classic electronic beat that dominates the rest of the album. “The Phoenix” amps up the energy with rough electronic rifts and precise violin tunes

that flow with the rifts like a sail boat through ocean tides. “The Arena,” a chart topping track with a catchy beat, will likely become an instant classic among Stirling’s fans. All of the song flow together in a perfect blend that generates a beautiful story, but each track also has the ability to stand alone as entertaining pieces of music. While most of the album features high energy tracks, “Brave Enough” ends on a more somber note with the track “Gavi’s Song,” which includes a powerful backstory about Stirling’s instrumentalist who passed away from cancer in 2015. With its expressive lyrics about Stirling’s love for her friend, “Gavi’s Song” is a beautiful and perfect tribute. Final Score 4.9/5 With such an energetic album ending on a such a strong note, “Brave Enough” is sure to be remembered as Stirling’s best work yet. Stirling is performing at Red Rocks Amphitheater on Thursday, October 5. If you want to know more about Stirling, you can check out her book titled The Only Pirate at the Party.

WHAT IS CLIMATEWISE, AND HOW IS FORT COLLINS A PARTICIPANT?

www.collegian.com 970-491-1683

Information for this column was obtained from http://www.fcgov.com. Most people are aware that Fort Collins is a city blossoming with sustainable initiatives, far outpacing most places around the U.S. with all its shades of green. But beyond the vague term “sustainable initiatives,” what concrete things are people doing around town to help reach our efficiency goals? One thing people are involved with is a program called ClimateWise, which acts as a resource for businesses who either want to make a difference in the community, or just reduce their operating costs. According to data from this year on ClimateWise partnerships, 142 businesses in the Fort Collins area participate in ClimateWise, which includes some favorite local companies like Chipper’s Lanes, Jax Outdoor Gear, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, and Snooze A.M. Eatery. Colorado State University, and most of the local breweries are involved too. ClimateWise is described as a voluntary program that encourages businesses to adopt strategies that are proven to help more efficiently use energy, water, and land, while helping businesses generate less waste, have lower operating costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The 2015 ClimateWise operations report states that participants in the program had together diverted 16,444 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (the standard measure of greenhouse emissions), which they say is the equivalent of more than 280,000 trips from Fort Collins to Denver International Airport and back in a passenger vehicle. In both vernacular and meteorological terms, that’s cool!
