xpedx Selects Winning Entry in its Net Impact Campus Greening Challenge

“The students from Monterey did the best job of aligning their plans with xpedx’s commitment to maintain sustainable operations and provide leadership in sustainable business practices,” said David Wallace, xpedx’s director, Sustainability. “However, each of the teams generated big ideas that offered realistic solutions to common sustainability problems.”

The Monterey students’ plan was to reduce carbon emissions from electricity, reduce water consumption and create policies to encourage energy efficiency upgrades on campus. Their plan outlined actual cost savings and established a repeatable, practical process. xpedx will present this team with $1,000 during an on-campus visit later this year.
