Chill Out Campus Solutions to Global Warming

Contest Categories

The National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology team wants to know what you're doing on your campus to stop global warming! The following categories were created to help inspire your thinking as you craft your submission. We will award one prize in each category.

Green Jobs and Education
Colleges and universities that have green workforce training programs or courses, train students for green jobs, incorporate sustainability ideas across the curriculum, or have added a new graduation requirement fostering student climate and ecological literacy.

Cutting-Edge Research, Design and Technology
Campus-based research into new designs or technologies that promise to help dramatically reduce global warming pollution on campus and beyond. These projects may be in the pilot phase and may be related to energy, food systems, buildings, transportation, communications or related systems on campus and beyond.

Students in Action
Students leading efforts on campus and beyond to reduce global warming pollution, ranging from (but not limited to) awareness campaigns to solarizing the student residences.

Campus Actions in Administration, Operations and Planning
Visionary campus-wide initiatives, stemming from leadership in administration, operations or planning that have directly or indirectly resulted in significant reductions of net campus energy use and carbon-dioxide emissions. Projects can include, but are not limited to, large-scale clean energy installations, shifts in purchasing practices, innovations in planning or finance and more.
