The Campus Climate Challenge

Background

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. Wisconsin Environment is working with students across the state and the country as a supporter of the Campus Climate Challenge, calling on colleges and universities to get deep reductions in global warming pollution from campus sources, and to be nearly “climate neutral” by 2050.

Are you up for the Challenge? Over 300 high schools and colleges have joined the Campus Climate Challenge. For more info, visit http://www.wispirgstudents.org/campus-climate-challenge.
