Global warming is all over the news right now, but almost no one is talking about solutions, even though we have everything we need right now to solve the problem. We already have cars that can get over 100 MPG. We already have the technology to get most of our energy from wind and solar power. All we need now is the leadership to make it happen. That's where we come in. Right here on campus, we're working to get our legislators to be leaders for the Clean Energy in the Statehouse and more. Stopping global warming needs to start here! Help fellow students take action while we still have time.
