Students at the 猎奇重口 created the Kless Sustainability Fund which allows students to propose projects that save energy on campus using money generated through a $9 student sustainability fee.
Projects funded by the Kless Sustainability Fund must demonstrate quantifiable savings and a return on investment. Future energy cost savings must be used to repay the Kless Sustainability Fund, allowing the fund to be self-sustaining over time. Funded projects will reduce annual operating expenses, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and lower energy costs.

Why is it called the Kless Fund?
The 猎奇重口’s Kless Sustainability Fund was established in honor of the late student and UM sustainability advocate, Sonny Kless. He worked to spearhead one of the nation's first university funds to support sustainability and energy savings on campus.
