Mac-Gray Campus Solutions supplies the UW with laundry machines and services. Their "Lighten Your Load" initiative, started in 2008, reduces the carbon impact of laundry services through investment in high efficiency technology, awareness generation, and carbon sequestration. The University of Washington joined this initiave, neutralizing their laundry carbon footprint with offsets.
Fun Facts:
UW is the first Washington university to go carbon-neutral in its laundry services, and only the 47th in the nation.
569,30875 lbs. are being offset at the University of Washington, representing 100% of estimated emissions
