About the Day of Action
Thursday November 13th will mark five years and one day after the
United States signed the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse gas
emissions. In the wake of a total failure of our government to respond
to the challenges of climate change, air pollution, and community
degradation resulting from our current energy systems, students from
more than 50 schools around the country are organizing for a massive National
Day of Action for Clean Energy Campuses.
Remember to check back to this website on the Day of Action and fill out the
online form to publicize the actions that you took. Cool the climate! Squelch the
smog! Abolish acid rain! Defend our communities! Join today's youth in creating a
power shift towards energy justice!
I'm ready to act! What do I do?
Well, because every clean energy campaign has different goals, different targets, and different tactics, groups are taking action on November 13th
in a variety of different ways. The type of action you take is up to you and your group. Be creative! The size of the action is not important.
The important thing is for everyone to take action on the same day to show everybody the power students have around the country to make change!
