How can you promote green renewable energy at UNC?
- First and foremost, make sure that you, your friends,
your friends’ friends and random students vote YES on
Tuesday, February 8, 2005, for the renewable energy
referendum during the Student Election. One can vote by
logging in to Student Central and then click on the
button to vote in the general student elections.
- Buy a Green Energy t-shirt and wear it proudly!
It is all organic, it's made using environmentally friendly
printing technologies and, most of all, it helps spread
the word on green energy. (T-shirts will be available shortly).
- Add this message or a similar one to your AOL Instant
Messenger profile or away
message:
“On Tuesday, February 8, 2005, vote YES for renewable
energy at UNC. Visit http://green.unc.edu/ for more
info!”
You can also add this message as signature
to the bottom of your emails.
- Print one of these posters
out and put it on your door or around campus or make it
your desktop background.
- Join the green energy mailing list to learn more
about upcoming events and ways to help. Send a message to
listserv@unc.edu with
the line "Subscribe powercarolina" in the message body.
- A week before the election, send out this message to listservs
that might have people that would like to support renewable
energy at UNC.
Dear <insert listserv name> Members,
I am writing to ask for your support for the green
energy referendum in the upcoming student elections
(Tuesday, February 8th).
This referendum aims to raise about $200,000 annually
through student fees to help support green energy related
project on the UNC campus. Not only will these projects
will play a major role in ensuring that UNC receives
energy from sustainable, environmentally friendly sources,
but will also make an important statement about UNC’s
commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship.
The issues at hand in this referendum are important
to all of us as members of the university community
and the community at large – I encourage you to take
time to learn more about the campaign and spread the
word amongst your friends and collogues.
Learn more at http://green.unc.edu/
Sincerely,
<Your name here>
