  2. Where does the energy your use come from http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epa/figes1.html

  3. Where does the University of Dayton get its energy?

  4. So most of the electricity nationally, and virtually all of that for UD comes from coal? Where does that coal come from??

  13. Groundwater Contamination Acid Mine Drainage Acidity in AMD is comprised of mineral acidity (iron, aluminum, manganese, and other metals depending on the specific geologic setting and metal sulfide) and hydrogen ion acidity. Approximately 20,000 km of streams and rivers in the United States are degraded by AMD. About 90% of the AMD reaching streams originates in abandoned surface and deep mines. Since no company or individual claims responsibility for reclaiming abandoned mine lands (AML), no treatment of the AMD occurs and continual contamination of surface and groundwater resources results.

  14. Transportation & associated CO2 release

  16. Ecological Implications…

  17. Conventionally grown cotton uses more insecticides than any other single crop and epitomizes the worst effects of chemically dependent agriculture. Each year cotton producers around the world use nearly $2.6 billion worth of pesticides -- more than 10% of the world's pesticides and nearly 25% of the world's insecticides.Cotton growers typically use many of the most hazardous pesticides on the market including aldicarb, phorate, methamidophos and endosulfan. Cotton pesticides are often broad spectrum organophosphates--pesticides originally developed as toxic nerve agents during World War II--and carbamate pesticides. http://www.panna.org/files/conventionalCotton.dv.html
