Partner Profile Eastern University, in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, through a student initiative supported by the administration, made the decision to purchase renewable energy credits matching 100 percent of its electricity use from emission-free, locally generated wind energy. The student group generated campus-wide awareness and support to help pass a referendum. This referendum enabled students to contribute to the wind energy purchase through their annual tuition payments. Of approximately 1,500 full-time undergraduate students, 1,047 choose to spend an additional $24 to purchase wind energy.
