  • Campement d’Action Climatique! 2 Sep 2010 | 1:44 pm It's Getting Hot In Here

  • Green Jobs: California's Economic Bright Spot 9 Aug 2010 | 10:39 am Climate 411 - Environmental Defense Fund

    One of the strongest arguments for passing a climate and clean energy bill is that it will boost the economy and create jobs.

  • Using Power Vote to Slow the Inevitable Destruction of our Planet and People 4 Jun 2010 | 9:44 am Student Environmental Action Coalition blogs

    With the Energy Action Coalition and all of our partners gearing up to run Power Vote again this fall, we have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes made with this campaign in 2008, and to create a more diverse and exciting campaign this year. A key piece of making this a successful campaign that promotes climate, energy, and environmental issues to the forefront of discussions and dialog in electoral campaigns across the country, while also building the skills of leaders in the youth climate change movement, is to build a strong narrative around broad youth civic engagement. Find out more about the campaign at www.energyactioncoalition.org/fall

    We need to create a media and movement narrative that tells the story of all of the ways in which youth are engaged and involved. One part of this, of course, needs to be direct engagement around the 2010 elections. But that needs to be tied to all of the rest of the amazing work youth around the country are doing to win against dirty energy, to create clean energy infrastructure, to build sustainable communities and campuses, and to fight global warming. Our generation's work in this movement is extremely powerful and diverse. If the Energy Action Coalition wants to call itself the hub of the youth climate movement, we needs to realize that this work is much larger and much more important than engaging in election cycles alone.
