Climate Change At UConn: A Conversation With Eleanor Ouimet

Stu­dents and fac­ul­ty at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut will gath­er Nov. 4 for the “decar­boniza­tion” of the uni­ver­si­ty, this includes lim­it­ing their use of fos­sil fuels. Today, I joined a pro­fes­sor from the uni­ver­si­ty who has pro­mot­ed the peti­tion and sched­uled ral­ly in her cours­es to ask her what UCon­n’s respon­si­bil­i­ty to its stu­dent body and local com­mu­ni­ty is. Plus, what’s going on in New Eng­land’s weath­er patterns?
