An article in The New York Times about software that allows companies and governments to input emissions data, analyze it in charts and receive recommendations on how to cut heat-trapping gases reports UB is planning to measure emissions at the building level for the first time using a new product called Carbon Impact. The article quotes Jim Simon, UB's environmental educator, who said the university is contemplating a carbon footprint competition among various university departments, a task that would have been virtually impossible a year ago.
