Dear John,

We envision a world powered entirely by renewable energy—and we know
that this is necessary to stop global warming and avoid the its most
serious impacts.
In order to move towards a 100 percent renewable energy future, we need
to get governments, corporations and institutions to commit to 100 percent
renewable energy—and we know colleges and universities are the perfect
places to lead the way on renewable.Our vision is to have 100 percent of
colleges and universities in the U.S. powered by 100 percent renewable
energy by 2050.

As the old saying goes: If not now, when? If not us, who?

That’s why we’re organizing campaigns to urge campuses to switch to
100% renewable energy. From California to New England, we’ve teamed up
with researchers who can prove we have the potential to get a lot more of
our energy from the sun and the wind—enough so we can stop burning fossil
fuels and ruining the planet.

We’re putting this research to work, getting support from wherever we
can find it to prod campuses to commit to 100% renewable energy: a goal
that is 100% possible.

And we’re seeing results: Cornell University, Green Mountain College and
Colorado State University have already committed to going 100% renewable.

Renewable energy is just one of the ways we’re tackling climate
change—and our climate is just one of the problems we’re working to
solve.

If you’re looking for a job that’s about making a difference right now
on climate change, or any number of top environmental and social issues,
