Agriculture Campus is Switching its Thinking
June 11, 2009
The Switch Your Thinking initiative is an effort by the UT Knoxville community to cut energy consumption by 10 percent during the 2009 fiscal year. It’s an ambitious goal, but such a cut in energy use could save the university more than $1 million.
