  SUNY ESF?

  I am a student at the "State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry." or SUNY ESF for you Upstate New Yorkers. Name say anything?

  Founded in 1911, SUNY ESF is the nation's oldest and most respected school dedicated to the study of the environment, developing renewable technologies and building a sustainable future. The ESF campus occupies 12 acres in Syracuse and 25,000 acres on its regional campuses throughout Central New York and the Adirondack Park.

  Founded in 1911 to "help in the solution of forestry problems" the New York State College of Forestry was founded in partnership with Syracuse  University.

  As ESF heads toward its 100th anniversary, the College is at the forefront of developing the technologies to create a sustainable future. Under the direction of President Cornelius B. Murphy, Jr., ESF has taken a leadership role in the development of alternative energy, helping restore endangered species, and fostering a sense of service in the student body.

  Vision 2020: In April 2001, the college community engaged in a strategic planning process aimed at renewing shared values, building on current strengths, and positioning ESF competitively to embrace the challenges and opportunities the future will bring. The college's history of exploring and responding to society's needs and environmental issues has prepared ESF to pursue these new initiatives we have 'dared to dream.'

  This outstanding institution needs to be recognized on Grist's Green Colleges and Universities. I can't even begin to list all of the green initiatives at the College. I mean, the very existence of the University itself is in the spirit of the Earth's wellbeing. This is truly a special and unique place...I'm unspeakably proud to be a student here.

  Keep up the pressure on the candidates and America

  I turned on the TV hours before the caucuses ever started, I've been through all of the major news channels and I've been watching them closely. I have CNN on the TV while simultaneously watching live feed online (of course on energy star appliances with the CFL on a dimmer).

  Anyways, on to my point:
  For the last 4 hours of political coverage of the caucuses does anyone want to guess how many times climate and the environment has been mentioned in any way, shape, or form???
  >> ZERO <<

  ITS DISGUSTING!
  I'm a 19 year old student at SUNY-ESF in Syracuse, NY and I know the discourse of this country's young adults. I know the discourse of climate change and the discourse of this world's most pressing issues.

  Why isn't this being openly talked about during these ever-more important political events?

  What does it take to truly transform the arena by which we make truly insightful decisions in this country?

  We must keep talking about these issues. We must let both the right and left know the facts, the philosophy and that the future is inevitably green(er). Its up to us to decide how it happensOn Huckabee and Obama win Iowa caucuses; what's the green angle? posted 1 year, 10 months ago 19 Responses
