On Tuesday, Sept 29 we held a National Day of Action Photo Petition drive outside of Ballantine Hall from 10am–3pm. Thanks to everyone who came out! In a few hours we were able to collect over 300 photograph petitions for our campaign. This was an action that was part of the National Day of Action with events happening across the country. On Tuesday over 2,400 photo petitions were taken and will be sent to the EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and the White House.

On September 16th, a group of students representing Coal Free IU gathered outside the Central Heating Plant to announce the official launch of the Coal Free Campus Campaign. We talked about the importance of moving IU beyond coal because of its environmental impacts and contributions to global warming CO2 emissions, as well as public health concerns.
The launch included the presentation of a new report by the Sierra Club: Moving Campuses Beyond Coal.
Check out some of our coverage: IDS, Herald Times, WFIU, and WFHB!
This nationally coordinated launch happened at the 11 universities highlighted in the Sierra Club’s report including: Oregon State University, University of Minnesota, University of Missouri, University of North Carolina, University of North Dakota, State University of New York-Binghamton, Ohio University, Pennsylvania State University, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
Here is some of their coverage: New York Times, The Salt Lake Tribune in Boulder, and The Collegian at Penn State.
