Beyond Kyoto Initiative Calls for Carbon Neutrality

Kyoto Now!´s Beyond Kyoto Initiative is well underway. The student organization is calling on the entire Cornell community, particularly President Skorton, to embrace its goals of making the campus Carbon Neutral by the school year 2007-2008. Global warming is already disproportionately affecting too many poor people all around the world, not to mention the massive changes it is inflicting on ecosystems. As such, we cannot treat it as just another ënvironmental issue.¨

Kyoto Now! calls on all students, faculty, staff, departments, and student organizations to endorse our initiative to immediately make a moral commitment to offset our emissions of carbon dioxide and create a long-term plan for on-campus climate neutrality. If you´re interested in supporting this initiative, please contact a representative at cmr55.
