Give Credit Where Credit is Due!
Perhaps a mention might be in order of the youth activists that fought for the greening of their campuses. The changes on these campuses did not come easy, they came after massive, effective grassroots organizing.
The 10s of thousands of student activists working on the Campus Climate Challenge deserve some credit for their role in creating these green campuses.
Check out their work at: http://climatechallenge.org/Also, read their stories firsthand at It's Getting Hot in Here - dispatches from the youth climate movement: http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/
Just wait for next year! We are organizing the second year of the campus climate challenge and kicking it off with Power Shift 2007 - Rising to the Climate Challenge: http://powershift07.org/
This fall, youth from across the country will convene in Washington, DC to change the climate on global warming in the United States. Together, we will create a shift in the fight for a clean and just energy future.

The Real Story is Pollution in China.
In the West, we fundamentally misunderstand the role of pollution and the environment in China. We also don't recognize the global injustice being conducted in the name of our prosperity in China. China has become the environmental sacrifice zone for the global economy. Toxic air and water are killing an estimated 710,000 to 760,000 Chinese each year.
In China, Global Environmental Injustice Kills Millions.
