A master’s student from Indiana University-Bloomington is spending the summer in Goshen studying the city’s greenhouse gas emissions as part of a statewide project to learn about climate change in Indiana.
For the first time ever, IU students have been placed in 13 Indiana cities and one county, from Gary to Evansville, to inventory greenhouse gas emissions in partnership with local governments, businesses and nonprofits as part of Sustain IU’s Resilience Cohort.
IU student Bronson Bast arrived in Goshen in late May to assist the city in its ongoing efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The Youth Caucus in Goshen signed an environmental resolution in April, committing the city to reduce carbon emissions, increase energy efficiency and renewable energy use, and become climate change-resilient.
