Global Warming Solutions Campaign Meetings: Sundays at 6pm, 3rd floor, Student Union

I'm a sophomore majoring in psychology and minoring in politics, and have been a CALPIRG intern since the first quarter of my freshman year! I'm working on The Global Warming Solutions campaign because I've always been passionate about our environment, but when I came to UCSC I decided I wanted to do something more effective than recycling and taking shorter showers. Being an intern has already given me the means to fight global warming on personal, state wide and national levels. I've done everything from creating a silly video petition parodying "The Sound of Music," to lobbying our Congressional leaders directly in Washington, DC!

I'm most excited about reaching out to the Santa Cruz community this year. We're planning on organizing a CFL lightbulb canvass, educating local elementary school students about ways they can fight global warming, and even asking Mayor Rotkin and Chancellor Blumenthal to support Senator Boxer's climate bill! Come to our Sunday meetings and help us make sure that we solve global warming now.
