Portable Electric Sustainability Actions

Space heater exchange program

Heat People Not Spaces! is a partnership between the Sustainability Office and SEED2SOIL, a program that funds and supports opportunities for carbon reduction at the U. It is open to all faculty, staff and interns who wish to trade in the portable electric space heaters they use on campus. Blankets are free with a space heater exchange, or can be purchased via e-journal for $30.

Reduce energy and emissions

Want to stay warm this winter while reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions? Consider participating in our program Heat People, Not Spaces! Space heaters are energy drains that emit greenhouse gases and pollute the air we breathe. By switching to an electric blanket, you’ll save energy, minimize fire risk, and stay cozy all winter long!

Electric blankets use less energy

Electric blankets use 90% less energy than a typical portable electric space heater. Using a portable electric space heater for 8 hours produces as much carbon dioxide as a 20.7-mile car ride. By switching to an electric throw, you’ll save emissions equivalent to a trip from the U to the border of Idaho – every week!
