OTHER ACTIVITIES
4) Please describe any additional campus sustainability activities or projects that you or your group has initiated at your school:
1. Campus Recycling. The WVU SSC was the main impetus behind the inception of WVU’s recycling efforts. WVU now has a leading recycling program largely because of sustained (6+ years) lobbying of the school’s administration by the WVU SSC.
2. Fishing Pier Construction at Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge. Service project where members helped construct a wheelchair accessible fishing pier for disabled fishermen.
3. Tree Planting service project at Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Members participated in a habitat restoration program involving the planting of Canaan Valley Red Spruce which provide habitat for listed endangered species.
4. Cheat Fest Recycling Service Project. The friends of Cheat, a local watershed protection non-profit organization holds a bluegrass music festival yearly as a fundraiser. Members were involved in trash pick-up, recycling pick-up and sorting of recycling.
5. Positive Spin Bike Drive. Members helped with receiving, clean-up, and repair and maintenance of bicycles as well as instruction to children on proper and safe biking practices.
6. Powershift 2009. The WVU SSC sent 28 students to Washington, D.C. for this event Morgreentown Community Garden. This is a community gardening project that was abandoned by a local community group. The WVU SSC revived the effort and has since partnered with Americorps and BOPARC (local Parks and Recreation authority) to secure location, funding, and resources for the implementation and installation of a community garden in Morgantown.
7. Green Party Crashing. Students walked around a neighborhood on a Friday afternoon that is predominantly student housing and distributed bags in which students could place recyclables from their parties for the week. Students then returned on Sunday to pick up the filled recycling bags.
8. Mountain Top Removal Tour. Members and other WVU Students were taken on a tour of an active Mountain Top Removal site, Kayford mountain. Attendees were educated on the impacts of this practice as well as how the communities are resisting the destruction. Participants were also shown and educated about the case of Marsh Fork Elementary school which is situated in dangerously close proximity to a coal processing plant and a 400 foot tall sludge impoundment that is leaking according to the MHSA. These sludge impoundments have a history of failing despite the assurances of regulators.
9. Toxic Tour. Members, other WVU students, and community members were taken on a tour of Morgantown, WV’s toxic or polluted sites via sustainable transportation. Students were educated on the nature and impacts of these sites on environmental and human health
10. Sustainable Sleepover. This event was held at a local church. Participants brought a sustainably prepared meal to the event and then participated in a variety of workshops teaching different sustainable skills such as Do-it-Yourself alternative energy projects, Biodiesel preparation, WVO vehicle demonstration, Home Brewing of beer, and organic gardening.
11. E-Day. Members participated in an environmental issue lobbying day in Charleston, WV (WV’s capital). While there, members met with representatives and senators and discussed issues such as energy, water quality, air quality and Brownfield restoration.
12. Morgantown Municipal Green Team. The WVU SSC has a representative on this city board which advises the city council and mayor on ways to decrease Morgantown’s environmental Impact.
13. WVU Sustainability Committee. The WVU SSC was awarded a spot on this committee by the WVU Student Government Association. This committee helps guide sustainability efforts at WVU>
14. WV Youth Action League (WV YAL) formation. Members helped to create WV’s first viable statewide youth network of social and environmental activists.

Name of organization: EcoCAR
Number of active members: 24
Website: ecocar.wvu.edu
Date of last meeting: June 12, 2009
Frequency of meetings: Twice per week
Key issues addressed and programs implemented since August 2008: Brainstorming and developing a design strategy for the vehicle as well computerized modeling for testing vehicle design.
Progress made on each issue/program since August 2008:
- The goals of the competition are to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy while maintaining vehicle performance. The competition also focuses on outreach and education on a school, community, regional, and national level.
- The EcoCAR Challenge is a three-year competition that builds on the 19-year history of Department Of Energy (DOE) advanced vehicle technology competitions by giving engineering students the chance to design and build advanced vehicles that demonstrate leading-edge automotive technologies, with the goal of minimizing the environmental impact of personal transportation and illustrating pathways to a sustainable transportation future. DOE has again joined General Motors (GM), the Government of Canada (Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada), and other sponsors for this new competition series, named the EcoCAR Challenge. Argonne National Laboratory, a DOE research and development facility, will organize and operate the EcoCAR Challenge.
- By 2011, our EcoCAR team will produce a fuel-efficient prototype hybrid vehicle.
- West Virginia University’s Saturn VUE will be a Two-Mode Electrically Variable Transmission Vehicle. The vehicle’s powertrain system will include a GM Two-Mode Transmission, 1.3L turbo diesel engine fueled with a B20 biodiesel blend, and a lithium-ion energy storage system comprised of two parallel strings of four A123 83V-22S3P modules connected in series.
- Based on preliminary computer modeling, the WVU team believes that our vehicle design can achieve 36mpg city and 38 mpg highway, which is significantly higher than the stock Saturn VUE’s 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Well To Wheel Green House Gas Emissions will also be reduced from 246 g/km to 150 g/km. Power will not be sacrificed either; actual 0-60 time and 50-70 time will also be lowered with our design by 2.6 seconds and .4 seconds respectively.
- The team also began modeling that architecture in real time with a new piece of hardware from dSpace, Inc. This hardware will allow us to maneuver the vehicle in a software environment while the physical hardware that will be used to control the vehicle interacts with the software vehicle.
- The team organized and participated in several alternative fuels and educational outreach events including the NAFTC Odyssey both at the Fairmont High tech consortium and here on the downtown campus. We also participated in the Monongalia County 8th grade career fair at Mylan Park.

We have partnered with the local Positive Spin organization since late in 2004, donating our first repaired bicycles to the Scotts Run Settlement House in February 2005. Since then, we have held a used bicycle drive on campus each semester since the Spring 2005 semester. The bike drives are publicized to the local community via the College web site, the student and local newspapers, and a local radio station. All of the donated bikes have then been delivered to Positive Spin, and we have worked as volunteers there each semester to help to repair the donated bicycles. Once a year (usually just prior to Christmas) Tau Beta Pi has then donated some of the repaired bikes to the Scotts Run Settlement House, to be given to local area children. We also have donated approximately $500 per year to Positive Spin for purchase of bicycle repair tools, bike helmets, and/or bicycle repair parts, as needed by Positive Spin. These funds have been secured either as a part of the local Tau Beta Pi yearly budget, through the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, or through grants from the WVU Student Government.
