Florida - The Student Green Energy Fund
Supported by the SEN Florida Organizer, the Florida Youth Environmental Sustainability Coalition (FL YES) currently run the Student Green Energy Fund (SGEF) campaign. The SGEF campaign works to implement new student “green” fees at universities across the state of Florida to fund renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. With the potential to generate more than $7.5 million dollars annually, the SGEF campaign aims to establish some of the largest student green fees in the nation.
To find out more about the SGEF campaign or to get involved with the FL YES coalition, email floridayes@climateaction.net.
Georgia - Board of Regents Campaign
For many years now students have been organizing on their campuses, calling for their administration to be greener, but often University presidents are reluctant to act because their bosses – the University System of Georgia Board of Regents (BOR) – provide no guidelines, let alone pressure to prioritize clean energy on their campuses.To get involved with GA YES contact georgiayes@climateaction.net
