– National Campus Energy Challenge - This is a national campaign to reduce
energy use of students this semester.  We plan to participate but have not
yet begun organization.  Ideas and interest welcome. Sustainability Hub contact: Whitney Larsen wbl5@cornell.edu (that is W-B-L-5)

– Cornell Renewable Energy Fee - This has been an ongoing campaign within Kyoto
for about 4 years now.  The idea was to charge every student $5 towards
purchasing renewable energy for campus.  Last year a referendum was passed
within the student assembly support such an addition to the student activity
fee.  However, red tape has stalled the project once again.  Help needed.

– Energy Independent Caroline seeks volunteers for massive CFL distribution
BACKGROUND: In 2005, the Town of Caroline in Tompkins County became the 2nd municipality in New York State to purchase 100% windpower for municipal use. Now, Energy Independent Caroline is developing a business model to produce sufficient wind energy to power the entire Town of Caroline's 1,200 households, roughly 2.5 megawatts of electricity.  As part of a grassroots education & outreach campaign, Energy Independent Caroline has received over $4000 to distribute one compact-fluorescent lightbulb (CFL) to every household in the Town of Caroline -- roughly 1,500 households. OPPORTUNITY: You can help by joining a joint Cornell University/Ithaca College planning team to organize & execute the massive CFL distribution. Volunteers are needed for a variety of skills and tasks to successfully organize the distribution day, tentatively scheduled for late March.
MEETING: Come and get involved in this exciting CFL distribution project. Our first planning meeting is:   Saturday February 9 at 12:00 nooon, 206 Stewart Ave, Apt. 1 (btwn E. Buffalo St. and E. Seneca St.)  Map
