The Climate Doctor is in!
Hello, my name is Paul Wolff and I am the Director of Sustainability at Bunker Hill Community College. I am also one of the Implementation Liaisons
for the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) I would like to invite you to check out the various resources that we
have assembled on this site. My ambition is to create an interactive platform for discussion among colleges in the northeast region striving for climate neutrality.
Whether you are from a MA based school or from other colleges located throughout the northeast region, I encourage you to contact me at the
Climate Forum with questions specific to climate action planning and sustainability. I am happy to share previous experiences and to direct you to a
myriad of resources related to this process that now involves over 700 colleges nationwide.
Please click on the email or Facebook links below to contact me with your questions or to arrange a Skype consultation. Together we can reduce the collective environmental impact of Colleges and Universities located throughout the world.
