Kirwan, Chancellor Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you on this important topic and to extend our support on behalf of this bill. As I consider the top priorities I believe we must address as a State and as a University System, environmental stewardship becomes an obvious choice. Not only is this an issue of particular importance to Maryland, home to the Chesapeake Bay, it also is an arena in which the State itself and the ĢƵ (USM) are positioned to be key leaders. Furthermore, USM is uniquely suited to help our State, our region, our nation, and our world come to terms with the impact of global climate change and related environmental concerns. When you consider our educational impact, research programs, community outreach, and commitment to "best practices," I can think of no entity in our state better positioned to lead on the vital and complex issues of climate change and its mitigating mechanism, environmental sustainability. To accomplish this goal, we must focus our efforts and resources in three critical areas: ĢƵ. USM institutions are contributing their expertise to the state of Maryland as it develops new environmental policiesfrom BayStat and Smart Growth to Marylands Climate Change Commission. As the need for public policy actions concerning the environment grow, USM will have increased opportunity to help the state and the nation if we prepare now. Programs. We also have an obligation to use our educational and research capabilities to advance environmental understanding and action. At USM institutions, you will find undergraduate and graduate programs focused on environmental issues as well as cutting-edge environmental research, led by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. There are also several other USM centers addressing climate change, many boasting key federal partners such as NASA, NOAA, and EPA. Practices. Finally, but likely the most critical to our daily activities, it is important that USM institutions make every effort to employ environmentally friendly practices on our campuses. Building on specific efforts already under way, like the implementation of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, we are working on broad System-wide strategies for campus sustainability and energy efficiency, especially as they relate to new facility construction, renovation, and operation. The recommendations of the Maryland Green Building Council and the language of this bill fully support our efforts in this regard and we encourage its passage and implementation. Thank you for your continued support of our efforts. _________________________________________________________________________________ Questions or comments can be directed to: Mark Beck, USM Capital Planning, 301-445-1984 /  HYPERLINK mailto:mbeck@usmd.edu mbeck@usmd.edu PAGE  USM Testimony, SB208, page PAGE 2  DLV]^ȱrbUEb5%h\oh\o5CJOJQJaJhsMhsM5CJOJQJaJhsMhsM5CJOJQJaJhw45CJOJQJaJhsMhB{V5CJOJQJaJhsMh@95CJOJQJaJh5CJOJQJaJh@9:CJOJQJ,h5hg[:B*CJOJQJmHphsH,h5h))J:B*CJOJQJmHphsH#h5h@9OJQJmHnHsHuhsMOJQJmHnHsHu,jh@96:CJOJQJUmHnHu)ABCDZ]Zgdw4 $Z*$]Za$gd^Jkd$$Ifl0($ ")4 la^$Z$If]Za$gd^ $Z]Za$gd^SN ǯٟ}k\J<h !ECJOJQJ^JaJ"h?hC 56CJOJQJaJh56CJOJQJaJ"h?h56CJOJQJaJh?hCJOJQJaJ hsMhsMh !Ehw4hsMh?h@95CJOJQJaJ.jdh?h@95CJOJQJUaJ"h?h@95CJOJQJaJ+jh?h@95CJOJQJUaJh\ohC 5CJOJQJaJ ) <qS\]^$a$&`#$Z]Zgd^Z]ZgdsM $Z*$]Za$gd^N   # $ t   ) * 2 5 ӷөӷӕxj\xxӷhmCJOJQJ^JaJh(@CJOJQJ^JaJhmaCJOJQJ^JaJhw45CJOJQJ^JaJ&hw4h !E5>*CJOJQJ^JaJh\oCJOJQJ^JaJhsMCJOJQJ^JaJhmBCJOJQJ^JaJ hsMhsMCJOJQJ^JaJh !ECJOJQJ^JaJhCJOJQJ^JaJ$#Mat jt:<pq̾ݰ̰̔̔̔̔̔̔ti[hw4h@96OJQJ^Jhw46OJQJ^J#h?hw45CJOJQJ^JaJh@9CJOJQJ^JaJhw4CJOJQJ^JaJh2/CJOJQJ^JaJh !ECJOJQJ^JaJh:CJOJQJ^JaJ hsMhsMCJOJQJ^JaJhw45CJOJQJ^JaJ&hw4h !E5>*CJOJQJ^JaJ"@ABPQSTZ[\^aryzӭ棝|xpjth\oUh:hma0JmHnHu h &0J h !E0J hC 0Jh@9 h@90Jjh@90JUhw4h@90J6OJQJ^J*jhw4h@96OJQJU^J$jhw4h@96OJQJU^Jhw4h@96OJQJ^Jhma6OJQJ^JZ]Zgd^) 0&P:pma/ =!8"8#F$v%b$$If^!vh5$ 5#v$ #v:V l")5$ 54a^QD phoenixDyK mbeck@usmd.eduyK ,mailto:mbeck@usmd.edu'Dd 45J  C &Afrsealb&e4Tʣ\D˃G]& nU&e4Tʣ\D˃GPNG  IHDRO%PLTE!!!!!!)))!)))11!1)111999!9)9)9)91999BBJRRRBJBG B)B1J)J1R1B)B)!H-J1R1R11R9R9B9J9R9J9!R9!B91RB!BB1BBBJJ9JJJ`Z9c9Z9cBcBZB!ZJ)ZJ1RJ9RRJZRJRRRZRRZZRZZZziF|O !cR)gV=ccRccc]x[/gRJkss{{k9k9s9kJoB{BFJJRRRkkksss{s{{{{!!))!{{1!1)9)9191B5J9NBRJZN{kcRg^so{s{{Ƅ΄{֌ތޔƜR!ΥZ֥Z֭ZޭZޭc޵ccckk޽kkks{΄ք֌֔֜ޜޥޭƽƵ絽ƽ.tRNSS%bKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Hs!IDATx^}y_XITqvLI3BNJkKF-.6IJ>B=@4@M #ǩo8qJ,o -qz}w~_9?>tyݲٹ³h]8$;`3BmR6.m4,&հ-w}֯'±x+*A>2?SdMO62(˛ʳڱD++շj0<!QޠH$G/9pŕy08ua4{m`i2(J˿h+1S]CmFK2^٠G5c媁zU}UJu|a:G_FОek5Rl5Ɖ/ԡDMP$bT,E.֫ۅb}9!t-5ɒ몹Pc1tDuZInZ4$ЁS7sF#Ŭ6R2&堶zdɦ,bP P?YM=&t5U# QhMN|1Q SgX}5+Y@n=aO# Hsl(H[ʥEuGA9"Qc|AO%ׅp\F5g`#4ntH@y:Δ 浈g\jL[}RK(刬nG2Uc[~^)USzo~48A4 "+Ӳ7RG@6*lv5YKM0~Z?Rz.BgVWQxD AUC v %8g m|:h\al*߀*3]EB'_Rs=!dvBm:B X6*/AQCga"߶4S1 ĬWI9'"}&KA+KmE64 dTc u6j Y,/ssaZ8vRz7:?oJ6cTu2s|;0rCsfgczvC 87K]qҭXo A=~f<]^<6?+觧gfN}O2cMaNĠ*Pj lȍB(Z s M;}pRLs R#!U:q7j9.Hβ ,kl\#҈)쁅4TS; ӡ[wiB9̊Geےó;AKsypb6ŌX5o u F!TB.aeٞ" ttTt{4v N?K>s@v5Q:{9j: 1ctBґOX1dc\@%֍{ uc#ڱ{yd{U3Bٗ3!Wj:U=Ib%]aO0;vpBfBZ.]hIo([br./H3BGMǪ:^aƮEԣTjV!P Oߌ+u(5c&""7E4A6vMZ *f4h&,%R.KVϩ|:t>VoXw&y:1~Y/]3XK9me2# ^Ԡe;;v^$㺫"nFu]QVQB QsEWOks`]GowL0)bZB:=CnJ1*pXbinw ԅ,Bp;ǧYp{W(9 bv좗Н'/=Xz᮱r~AMVnE<0NN1腙S `p;@O84MЌ%r* RˬWc&%SG ~t2,GR{&h!`RqfJkӠ_0-H6H:GW ^X`uz*1bDkgԞh7 8S!
