A brief description of the campaign(s):
February is a special month where we put an increased emphasis on energy conservation. Students are encouraged to cut back on their energy consumption on campus in order to "beat" other area schools in conserving the most electricity and heat. Students also address other sustainability issues during this month, too, including fair trade, sweatshop labor, and climate change.
We also typically have Earth Week activities with scheduled speakers and activities. See an example link below for our 2011 Earth Week.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign(s):
This campaign involves students that may not otherwise work with issues of energy and conservation. The team that organizes this effort arises from many different student orgs, including the Morris Campus Student Association, the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group, Morris GreenCorps, as well as other interested students.
