Environmental Engineer Consultant currently specializing in science writing conference hosting website creation also book author self employed have never served on City or County Board active participant in many non profits as Board member or participant Iam an MS Chemical Engineer with 25 years of experience in the public research institutions private industry and consulting sectors For 11 years mostly through the 1990s I served as lead Environmental Engineer for the Hewlett Packard Inkjet factory in Corvallis Oregon One part of my job was to help minimize our global warming potential most specifically related to perflourinated compounds PFCs e g CF4 C3F8 SF6 used as corrosive gases for wafer etching Iserved on the Sematech Austin TX consortium of seven major US electronic firms technical advisory board that lead the industry s voluntary efforts to reduce the use of PFCs Ialso helped scope new HP facilities in Ireland and Puerto Rico and tried to work C02 reduction into the planning for these buildings though in the 90s relative to today we were admittedly less successful pushing for C02 limits than the PFC efforts I believe our nation s energy path has incredible implications with respect to the environment and national security rivaled perhaps only by population numbers I also subscribe to the philosophy that all politics are local Thus I believe that what we do here in Bozeman with respect to discovering and then carrying out logical and or uniquely innovative ways to minimize our carbon footprint has the potential of impacting behavior of other communities thereby bettering our world The local part is this we can control only what we can control For Bozeman to decrease its carbon footprint requires no push or Ok from outside Indeed it only requires one thing actionuso lets get started References Dr Robert Crabtree Chief Scientists Yellowstone Ecological Research Center 556 1414 Dr Cathy Whitlock MSU Earth Science
