The Great Power Race
College and university students across the world - but particularly those in the US, China, and India - are gearing up for some friendly competition to save the world.
Four groups - 350.org, China Youth Climate Action Network, Indian Youth Climate Network, and the Energy Action Coalition - are supporting the campaign that will run through the end of 2010.
Right now, in the first phase, the goal is to see how many campus teams they can get signed up from each country, so if you're a college or university student, see if your campus has a team yet, and if not, start one: www.greatpowerrace.org
Later on this year, teams will earn points by implementing projects that promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a critical year for ramping up action to avoid the worst impacts of climate disruption, so get involved - and good luck!
