Progress

Two schools are lined up for Williams students to come speak. Great Barrington's Monument High School and Mt. Greylock High School are both on board, probably for next week. In addition, the superintendents of all of Berkshire county are being emailed about our offer.

For those of you who don't know, this involves going to a school to do a slide show on climate change and student activism to several classes. Then we have lunch with students interested in taking on more of a leadership role. We try and use Focus the Nation and the Campus Climate Challenge are our two action plans.

In other news, the CFL exchange is continuing as we speak. The announcement of the climate action plan is going to be heralded by public art (such as a polar bear made from incandescent lightbulbs) and big, cardboard cut-outs of Morty. Tonight a group of 8th graders from North Adams gave a presentation on global warming to a packed crowd in Griffin 6, attended by students, community members and a local senator. Later this week we'll be rolling out a poster campaign, tentatively called the 'do something' campgaign. See example below.
