Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the Pennsylvania Powershift Summit at Penn State organized by the Energy Action Coalition. Powershift 09 is a movement of young motivated people and students looking to repower
America with 100% clean energy and create millions of jobs that put American’s back to work. Cool right?
This youthful group shared ideas and presentations at classroom style workshops varying from Renewable Energy to Empowering your Community to Funding Campus Sustainability Projects and Explaining the Cap and Trade System. I attended the Funding Campus Sustainability Projects workshop and was impressed with the leadership, experience and tenacity the students displayed in pursuit of setting up Green Funds at their college or university. Moreover, it felt great to be in a classroom with excited voices shouting through the halls, all while enjoying the view of the beautiful fall leaves coloring the campus.
If you are a student or young person who believes in a renewable energy future for America and want to get involved with an organization making a difference, this is the group is for you. If joining a group is not for you but you want to make a difference, sign up for wind power today!
