SAVE & SEA Green Energy Referendum
Student Alliance for Virginia’s Environment (SAVE) and Students for Environmental Action (SEA) are campaigning to get a green energy referendum passed during student council elections.“Would you be willing to pay an extra $7 per semester as a Renewable Energy Fee for UVa to buy 33 MILLION kilowatt hours of clean, renewable wind energy each year to offset our use of fossil fuels, thereby reducing pollution and improving public health?”
Specifically, they will be flyering, distributing handbills, and engaging students about the benefits and possibilites of renewable energy at UVa. For the Green Grounds Committee, this is a limited involvement advocacy project; SAVE and SEA have done all the work to date on this project and only need our help with campaigning.
This is a very important step of a project that will create immediate results.
Contact Elizabeth Marie Dubovsky (emd7v@cms.mail.virginia.edu) to work out how you can best help to campaign for this important piece of student-backed legislation.
