Nolan Allen

Issue date: 3/13/08

Alternative Spring Break

UCSB Students Host National Conference on Global Warming

Sunday, March 23, 2008

By Adrian Castañeda

 

"While most of Isla Vista will resemble a ghost town during UCSB’s spring break next week, a dedicated group of students and environmental organizations will be sticking around for the first Global Warming Alternative Spring Break. Beginning Monday, March 24, the week long conference will include training sessions, workshops, and talks centered on the goal of solving the planet’s climate crisis."

4/24/08 The Daily Egyptian “Last week, students voted overwhelming in support of the $10-per-semester student "green" fee to be used for on campus renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability projects and research. It's now obvious that students at SIUC are ready to step up and do their part to chill out global warming, battle resource plundering and put an end to injustice by getting serious about conservation, efficiency and renewable energy - in other words sustainability.”

3/27/08 The Daily Egyptian - “The Daily Egyptian supports any efforts toward an efficient future. It only makes sense to improve our lifestyles and cut back on what's not working as well.  Students are asking for a fee this time, not the other way around. With a university that has increased its price by hundreds of dollars in fees in the last two years to pay for a new football stadium, $10 shouldn't be too much to ask for. If the referendum passes, we hope the BOT recognizes this."

2/22/08 The Oberlin Review - “After almost five hours of presentations and fierce debate, the Oberlin City Council voted four to three to withdraw its participation from the proposed 50-year contract for a pulverized coal plant in Meigs County, OH.”   “College senior Benjamin Whatley, whose speech on town-gown relations received the longest applause of the evening, feels that the student role in this issue has been pivotal: “There is a prevalent attitude that students are meddling in the community, bullying the city on issues, voting for tax increases, etc. I wanted to set that straight because I feel that there are many students who are invested in this community, who, in the words of Marvin Krislov, are ‘inextricably intertwined’ with the City and College.”“

2/13/08 U Weekly - “Students from a campus environmental group, Free the Planet at OSU are lobbying the university to commit to a “sustainable, socially responsible” paper purchasing policy that would not allow the purchase of paper made from Grassy Narrows (in addition to other measures), and they are pressuring the most public figure OSU has to support their cause: President E. Gordon Gee.”
