Nathan Wyeth, of Brown and green fame, now has a regular column at the Gristmill called “From Campus”. It is described in the following fashion.
As an undergrad at Brown University and a veteran organizer with the Sierra Student Coalition, Nathan Wyeth has his ear to the ground on campus sustainability issues. In this occasional column for Grist, Wyeth will report on what’s afoot at the campus grassroots level and how he and his fellow students are making their voices heard.
Nathan inaugurates his first column on campus climate neutrality, offsets, and making your institution carbon positive. Read it.
Also, don’t forget, Jeremy Osborn, of Step It Up fabulousness, had an interview on Treehugger the other day. If you missed the post the other day, check it out. Most amazing result from Step it Up? “We just recently received a (incomplete) compiled list of media on Step It Up events that is 322 pages long!” Read it.

I’d like to see a little bit more of both. But this site is students turf, so I don’t wanna see it become a platform for people to “pick up” our vote, or anything like that.
I hear you. I sure as heck don’t want that. In fact, I am trying to move away from the press release style post. The response I am getting, although a small sampe (GO VOTE PEOPLE!) is that we should highlight student leaders and try and pose tough questions to movers and shakers to magnify the youth voice.
