In spring of 2020, we launched a large-scale construction project that literally lays the groundwork for reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, while immediately decreasing our energy and water use — we call it the Big Shift. The Big Shift is a cornerstone of our campus's Fossil Fuel-Free Pathway Plan, or FFFPP. When complete it will reduce the fossil fuel use on the Davis campus by 80%. It's going to get messy, but it's worth it.
