This just in from wunderkind eco-activist Billy Parish leader of the Campus Climate Challenge: In the last 4 years, over 100 campuses in the US and Canada have purchased clean energy including at least seven schools that are powered by 100 percent renewable energy. Students are working on energy efficiency projects, green building, cleaner, more efficient transportation, and comprehensive climate action plans. Youth are also organizing regional conferences and state summits; coordinating days of action; participating in unique summer training and action programs; and are sharing their stories through creative and interactive venues including blogs, podcasts, and tours.
