In the wake of Copenhagen, and in light of a lack of ambition in Congress, we asked ourselves what could we do together. Through conference calls, chat rooms and surveys it became clear that what we needed to do was define our decade on our own terms and use the great work happening on campuses and communities across the country to demonstrate solutions and get our leaders to follow suit: what we wound up with was hundreds of communities articulating their vision for the decade, and thousands more rallying around a nationwide call for 100% clean electricity by 2020, and in just this week their will be over 25 meetings with elected leaders to declare this vision.

So inspiring to hear about youth-led sustainability initiatives all around the country!

In Florida, we are working on a legislative campaign to pass a Student Green Energy Fund that would give public universities the option to implement a small tuition fee that would contribute to a fund for energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives on campus. At the University of Florida, a mere 50-cent per credit contribution would add over $600,000 dollars a year to the fund. The Student Green Energy Fund would make our utilities more sustainable so that we can stop taking money away from academics to pay the electric bills!
