Make Noise
Send a delegation of students, faculty and staff to your President to ask him/her to sign the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment. If already signed, ask what your campus is doing to move towards climate neutrality. If you aren't on a campus, set up a meeting with your elected officials to talk with them about global warming solutions.



Voter Registration
Secure administrative support for a goal of 100% voter registration on your campus. Everything is easier with the administration on board!
