Adopted from the Cornell Daily Sun, Dated April 24, 2007:
While the campaign to stop global warming may be an uphill battle, Cornell students proved yesterday that students can have a big impact in the fight. Yesterday the group Kyoto Now! was announced as the winner of thinkMTV’s Break the Addiction Final Exam contest, which challenged campus organizations across the country to submit evidence of educational activities and policy advocacy to reduce their school’s global warming pollution. Kyoto Now! won $10,000 toward an eco-renovation for their student center on campus and was featured on MTV’s Total Request Live yesterday for a special Earth Day episode.
ThinkMTV is a campaign that promotes discussion and action about important issues for young people. This specific contest was part of thinkMTV’s Break the Addiction, a 12-month campaign launched on Earth Day 2006 to “educate and empower young people to make daily choices that improve their life and simultaneously curb the impact of global warming and preserve the environment,” according to an MTV press release.
