The Clean Energy Fund (CEF) recently received over 50 pitches during its call of ideas session that allowed UVM students, staff and faculty to submit ideas for clean energy projects.Previously, seniors Erick Crockenberg and Tad Cooke received funding for the Clean Energy Greenhouse project, which is currently underway at the UVM Horticulture Farm, according to CEF?s website.Members of the University can vote with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down and leave a comment on all of the idea submissions until Nov. 15.Clean energy fund graduate fellow Kate Blofson said she was impressed with the variety of submissions this year.?There are a whole bunch of ideas that are coming from all across campus and from students to faculty and staff,? Blofson said. The student votes and comments will help the CEF committee choose the projects to submit to Vice President of Finance and Administration Richard Cate for final approval, Blofson said.?It doesn?t determine whether they will be approved but it helps us see what students are interested in… and it lets students participate in the process,? she said.Project proposals are submitted to Cate in March and Cate decides which projects to fund in April.Visit http://www.uvm.edu/sustain/cef/share-your-ideas for the list of submissions and to vote and leave comments.
