A partnership with a local dairy farm, Vermont utility, and renewable energy company will further reduce the College’s carbon footprint. 

Ahead of the Conference on Climate Change, Middlebury joined more than 200 colleges and universities in a pledge to demonstrate support for strong international climate action.

The use of renewable natural gas will allow Middlebury to eliminate its consumption of no. 6 heating oil.

Twenty-one hundred acres in the Green Mountains will remain with Middlebury College in perpetuity, thanks to conservation philanthropist Louis Bacon '79.

President Ron Liebowitz sent a message to the college community May 6 reaffirming the college's support for the project.
