Actually SFU now burns biofuel for its heating, consisting of wood scraps mostly.
They upgraded the heating plant a couple of years ago.
Still true about the cars though

While I’m pleased to know that SFU is increasing its efforts to remove invested money from the fossil fuel industry, isn’t our main boiler in the basement of the library (I believe the biggest one at a university in Western Canada) run off diesel? And aren’t the majority of SFU vehicles still gasoline powered?
