It's Saturday...
since friday I have been at Towson University with the Maryland Students Climate Coalition working on tactics and a plan to promote/enforce a carbon neutrality act that would force USM schools to be carbon neutral by 2020. the MSCC encompasses the entire maryland university system. all of the enviro groups from 7 out of 15 universities and institutes have come together to discuss and set a plan to petition and promote. the MSCC is the first ENTIRELY student run grassroots group on the east coast to promote and demand the Carbon Neutrality act. we need 13,000 plus signatures on our petition plus 200 endorsements in order to pass this on the the Board of Regents. this is an unprecedented group of student activists with an enormous and ambitious goal. Like I said, it is entirely student run and funded seeking no corporate support or planning. I am part of history, not since the Vietnam war has a student coalition come together under such a cause. I spent 13 hours today in wokshops, planning, discussing and creating the coalition. if you are a student in MD in the public university system and you want to petition, you can visit our temporary website USMCC.org to sign the petition.
carbon neutrality is when the amount of carbon company or households emits from dirty energy like coal and oil is equal to or balanced by those subjugated from clean and renewable sources like recycling heat or solor or wind power.companies like Worldbank and Google are carbon neautral. carbon neagtive is when a company or household has no carbon emissions because it uses only renewable and clean energy sources. carbon is the leading contributor to greenhouse gasses which cause global climate change.BizzleLuvin Reviewed by BizzleLuvin on .
