Join SLU's ADK Youth Climate Summit Team
Are you interested in taking a leadership role in SLU's Climate Neutrality Journey? Would you like to spend two intensive days learning and planning with fellow SLU students and staff and sharing best practices with Colleges and Universities from the Northeast? Please consider joining the St. Lawrence team of the Adirondack Youth Climate Summit.
Who: A team of students and staff
representing St. Lawrence University (as space is limited I will give priority
to first and second year students, but all who are interested should let me
know as I want to take a full group)
What: Adirondack
Youth Climate Summit
Where: Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY
When: Wednesday, November 14th (7am-7:30pm) and Thursday, November 15th (7am-5:30pm)
Why: "The Adirondack [region] educational institutions have the potential to be a model in the 21st century for students taking action to avoid a crisis and in the process save their schools and communities money. The participating institutions will serve as models in energy efficiency, sustainable energy usage, building maintenance, landscaping & grounds management, school & community garden planning, and how to affect the current science curriculum in schools."
Perks: Great local food-two days of breakfast and lunch and one yummy dinner all for free; you get to spend quality time with SLU's Sustainability Coordinator and other community members who are passionate about issues of sustainability and climate change; you get to meet students and staff from other colleges working on these same issues; you get to visit the Wild Center for free
Outcomes: An action item(s) for this year will be decided by the group.
Interest and Questions should be directed to SLU's ADK Youth Climate Summit 2011 Team Leader, Louise Gava.
