An article reports on a statement by UB President Satish K. Tripathi on the Office of the President website about the university’s continued role in shaping a sustainable society and seeking innovative solutions to climate change. “We are not paying lip service to reducing our carbon footprint. Rather, we are taking clear, measurable action to respond to the increasing pace and intensity of global climate change,” Tripathi said in his statement. The article also quotes UB sophomore Alexa Ringer, a leader of Fossil Free UB, a grassroots student group that is urging the UB Foundation to divest from all fossil fuel stocks and corporate bonds within five years and to invest the money in clean energy and socially responsible alternatives.
