Calling all student climate activists around the world! Check out this opportunity for the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) to apply for an award to help fund your local climate initiative. Climate is one of the main areas of focus for the foundation, and they encourage creativity in project ideas for ways to reduce your campus’ impact and raise awareness. Many of us at 350.org got our start organizing on our campus just a few years ago, helping write a plan for emissions reductions, running a campaign to lower the thermostats, and other projects that CGIU suggests.
So think big! And move quickly – the applications are due April 3rd. Get together with some other students, read up on the requirements for the application, and send it in!
