Hey Everyone:
We have state media databases, compiled climate
campaign resources and other great
resources/articles/events in upcoming
announcements, but check out this short list:
1. NEW State Listserves on RiseUp (We are not using Yahoogroups anymore)
2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder
3. LOTS of Environmental Fellowships and
Scholarships (New: Brower Youth Awards)
4. New England Climate Calendar
5. Public Debate on Wind Energy at BU
*************************************************
1. State Listserves on RiseUp
I have added all of you - from the northeast, at
least - to a) your state Climate Campaign
listserve and b) this Climate Campaign announce
listserve, both hosted by RiseUp. The Climate
Campaign announce listserve will go out 4-8 times
per month (send anything you want in the
newsletter to me), and the state listserves are
open to posting by listserve members.
A few notes/guidelines:
-the email address of each state listserve is:
climatecampaign-[state initials]@lists.riseup.net
-IT IS VERY EASY TO UNSUBSCRIBE. just send an
email to: climatecampaign-[state
initials]-unsubscribe at lists.riseup.net. IT IS
ALSO EASY TO SUBSCRIBE people. All they have to
do is email: climatecampaign-[state
initials]-subscribe at lists.riseup.net.
-DO NOT SPAM the state listserves. Some of them
have 100+ people on them, who will unsubscribe
and stop reading them if they become too high
density. Assign individuals to coordinate
collecting specific information (like votes,
dates, attendance at events, etc.)
-Please use them to share ideas, coordinate
events and actions, set up conference calls, etc.
- They are a great resource!

2. Internship and Evaluation Reminder
Internship applications are due THIS MONDAY,
March 1st. If you want to apply, but can't get
it in that quickly, please let me know. Interns
will work closely with a climate campaign partner
organizer and with their state energy advocate.
The internship application and the conference evaluation are attached.

functioning of ecosystems; parts of ecosystems;
and human communities that manage ecosystems, for

GSU Student Union, 775 Commonwealth Ave., Boston University
On Wednesday night, March 10, The Northeast
Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) will host
a free public event focusing on offshore wind in
New England in conjunction with their Building
Energy 2004 conference and trade show. The recent
controversy surrounding the Cape Wind project
that is planned for off the shore of
Massachusetts has brought into focus the debate
over clean energy in the 21st century. Join some
of the nation's foremost experts on offshore wind
for what we are sure will prove to be an
interesting, enlightening, and informative
evening.

pound the pavement and post some fliers about the
Wind Energy Debate. NESEA is willing to provide
a free pass to the Building Energy 2004

prominent places in the Boston area to attract
people to this event. For more information
