For the past two Homecomings, Fraser Horn (Sci카지노 게임 컬렉션�89) drove from Toronto to Kingston in his 100 per cent electric Tesla Model S. He was able to just make it to Kingston but had trouble finding adequate charging for his trip home. After last year카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Homecoming, Mr. Horn sent an email to Principal Daniel Woolf .

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I wrote to Principal Woolf suggesting that there ought to be an electric car charger on campus. I told him I thought universities should be at the forefront of sustainable projects,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Horn.

Principal Woolf connected him with the Sustainability Office to explore the idea of installing an electric car charger on campus. Mr. Horn, an electrical engineer and stay-at-home father, made an initial $4,000 pledge. So began the Electric Vehicle Charging Station Sustainability Initiative.

As Sustainability Manager Aaron Ball explains, this initiative fits perfectly with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s goal of creating a sustainable campus by increasing support for alternative modes of transportation. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We want to break down the barriers to alternate transportation. For example, more people will ride their bikes if there are lots of bike racks on campus. As electric cars become more popular as an alternate form of transportation, installing a charger on campus will break down another barrier,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Ball.

In Kingston there is an electric car charging station near Hwy. 401 at Division Street, one on Princess Street at the Best Western and another at St. Lawrence College, but because of the hours it can take to charge, it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s really only practical to have a charger at your destination, which for Mr. Horn was downtown and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 campus. It is logical and fitting that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, with its highly-respected engineering program that encourages discovery and invention of sustainable products and green initiatives, leads the way in this initiative. 

The two electric vehicle charging stations will be located at the corner of Union and Division streets, in front of the School of Kinesiology, where they will be 카지노 게임 컬렉션�visible, accessible, and where we easily can connect to a building to get the power,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Ball. They will be used by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s employees and visitors to campus.

The cost of installing the two chargers on campus is $30,000. While Mr. Horn카지노 게임 컬렉션�s initial gift to the program is a good start, more donations are required to make this goal a reality. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m reaching out to my classmates and others who feel the same way I do, that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s needs to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Mr. Horn. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I do a lot of driving with my three busy children, so I see the positive impact of using a sustainable and cleaner means to get around.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

He adds: 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Things like this may feel small, especially if only one or two individuals are doing it, but collectively, I know, we can make a big difference. The lack of charging infrastructure is one of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle ownership but because electricity is everywhere it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a relatively easy problem to solve.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
