Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon

Our Enviromental club went to the PowerShift conference in Washington DC from February 27th to March 2nd, 2009. Power Shift brought 12 thousand young people to Washington DC to hold our elected officials accountable for reclaiming our future through bold and effective climate and clean energy policy.
This event leveraged the momentum built locally through the Campus Climate Challenge, as well as Power Shift 07, and our electoral engagement campaign Power Vote.

Goal:
For young people from across the country to converge on Washington D.C. to take a message of bold, comprehensive and immediate climate action to Capitol Hill.

Result:
At Power Shift, we not only delivered our message of change to our elected officials, but we strengthened the climate and clean energy movement by infusing our nation’s young leaders with new ideas, skills, connections with each other, and opportunities for employment and action.
