Our exposé of the University of California's climate (in)action was published in the The Sacramento Bee on Saturday.
Carbon neutrality, which relies on offsets, is a scam. It's time for the UC to commit to a fossil-free goal.

The UC is cutting its greenhouse gas emissions in California by paying landfills for less-effective carbon offsets in other, low-regulation states, writes two UC professors. | OPINION
Join us this Thursday for TTCAFE's final event of the year, happening from 8-9pm. In honor of Week 10, we will be hosting a casual study jam using the Pomodoro technique. See you there & good luck on finals!
This month's First Friday meeting on June 4th from 4:30 - 6pm PDT (new member orientation starts at 4pm) will be a celebration of the year's achievements. Please join us to reflect on how we've grown as an org, celebrate all our various wins, thank our members for all the work they've put in and farewell those that are graduating. This will be a great opportunity for new or interested members to hear an overview of the work we do and how we make change happen. See you there!
UC GND in the news! 🗞 Our Electrify the UC campaign was mentioned in an article by Bill McKibben in the New Yorker: "The University of California system has divested from fossil-fuel stocks, but campaigners are pointing out that it still burns lots of natural gas on its campuses; they’re calling on it to quickly electrify the system."

Crushing blows to three of the world’s largest oil companies have made it clear that the arguments many have been making for decades have sunk in at the highest levels.

Carbon Neutrality - which relies on offsets - is a scam.
The UC must instead make a fossil free goal - to power its campuses from increasing wind & solar. https://t.co/3bJjdFDTaZ

Yesterday 88% of the Representative Assembly at UCSD voted YES on a Fossil Free Resolution.
Retire existing Fossil Free infrastructure this decade, don't build new FF infrastructure (including for hospitals) and electrify all end-use devices.
Will other UC campuses follow suit? https://t.co/EOM47qNDXQ

Join the protest Noon 24th May, City Hall, San Diego.
This is important.
Tell the San Diego city council NO on the SDG&E franchise agreement.
We can't be locked into a bad deal with fossil fuels for 20 years.
