Cornell Commits to Climate Neutrality

After a year of aggressive campaigning to make Cornell go Beyond Kyoto, Cornell has embraced the goal of achieving climate neutrality to “make a difference… for the world at large” through leadership. With a majority of the campus supporting this goal, Cornell is ready to begin planning how to truly make the campus climate neutral.

Before you go on to read the press release, I wanted to let you all know that this has been the result of an amazing team. Everybody from the student organization KyotoNOW! should be proud, and we truly thank the entire Cornell community (particularly student, organization, faculty, and department endorsers), as well as the broader campus climate movement, for motivating us to do better every day.
