1 - 5pm	Energy & the Environment	It All Adds Up It All Adds Up is a campus-wide educational and outreach effort that stresses the importance of personal actions while showing that the combined efforts of an engaged University community can make a significant difference. Using the It All Adds Up campaign, the University of Minnesota is working to reduce annual campus energy usage by five percent by the end of 2010. A five percent reduction will save the University $2.25 million each year and result in 25,000 fewer tons of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Meeting this ambitious goal requires the efforts of everyone on campus. And while individual actions may not make much of an impact, the combined efforts of all students, faculty and staff will.
