Earth Action Initiative

Project Basics

Project Sponsor: Graduate Assembly (GA)

Awarded: $16,000

Grant Awarded: Spring 2018

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

Our vision is to foster a community of people on and around campus to take direct climate action, and help reduce the barrier to action for others. The goal is to demonstrate meaningful climate action is possible, especially for students and community members, and provide a roadmap of how that can happen. To execute the Earth Action Initiative vision, EAI will organize a variety of events and actions that build community, leverage existing efforts, inspire new plans, and find innovative ways to communicate with each other. The work throughout the year will culminate in a spring 2019 conference featuring graduate student organized workshops and a climate art show.
