This report is an analysis of the Minnesota 2009 Campus Energy Challenge (MCEC) from the point of view of the principal state organizer, Arielle Miwa Oseki Robbins, the principal Macalester College campus organizer, Liz Foster, and the data and calculation expert, Dominika Seblova. This report evaluates the success of the 2009 Minnesota Campus Energy Challenge (MCEC) and makes recommendations for its improvement. The MCEC is a competition designed to engage college campuses in energy reduction. The competition is also an enjoyable way for individuals and institutions to examine and creatively reduce their negative environmental impact in the context of the global overconsumption and unequal distribution of energy draw. This year’s 2008-2009 energy competition was initiated by students at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN who worked closely with statewide organizers from several other colleges in Minnesota. The results of the 2009 competition are mixed. Eight colleges across the state participated; only 2 reduced their heating energy consumption while five reduced their electrical energy consumption. The MCEC idea does, however, have huge potential for bringing Minnesota students together to reduce campus energy use and examine personal and institutional strategies for energy reduction. There are several strategies that Minnesota and especially Macalester organizers can implement to improve the statewide and on-campus systems for increasing participation, improving data collection, and reducing energy consumption.
