Campus Climate Challenge

What's New

Wisconsin Governor Doyle announced a massive five-year program to make four University of Wisconsin campuses energy independent (Green Bay, Oshkosh, River Falls, and Stevens Point). 

 

Brief Summary

The Campus Climate Challenge is a project of more than 30 leading youth organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Challenge leverages the power of young people to organize on college campuses and high schools across Canada and the U.S. to win 100% Clean Energy policies at their schools. The Challenge is growing a generation-wide movement to stop global warming, by reducing the pollution from our high schools and colleges down to zero, and leading our society to a clean energy future.

There has been a lot of talk about the problem of global warming, but almost no one is talking about solutions – even though we have everything we need right now to solve the problem.  We already have cars that get 100 miles per gallon, and the technology to get almost all of our energy from clean sources like wind and solar power. 

That’s where students come in.  This is our problem, and it’s up to us to be the ones to solve it, starting right here on campus, right now.  So we’re organizing the Campus Climate Challenge, working to transform our schools, reduce our global warming pollution down to zero, educate our fellow students about global warming solutions, and show the public what’s possible. 

Are you up for the Challenge? Over 300 high schools and colleges have joined the Campus Climate Challenge. By 2008, over 1000 schools will be participating!
