Abstract

"This Just In" piece on the Sustainability Squad at the University of Southern Maine (USM), a team of students who patrolled the Portland campus this summer. The squad replaced incandescent light bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescents, insulated attics, wrapped water heaters, and air-sealed basements. Robert Caswell, spokesperson for USM, hopes the team's work will save 10 percent of the school's $2 million annual energy costs. The school's new Abromson Center for Continuing Education will run entirely on wind power.
