Champaign Youth Press City Council on Climate Change

Students from the local chapter of iMatter (Local facebook page here and event here) will be asking the Champaign City Council to do more to reduce its impact on climate change. From Smile-Politely:

High school students will be presenting a Youth Climate Report Card for Champaign
High school and college students from the area involved with the group iMatter, a national climate change organization founded by a 13 year old in 2007, have assessed the City of Champaign on their actions related to greenhouse gas emissions. They did a similar assessment of the City of Urbana last year, which we wrote about here. Since that time, the group helped pass the Climate Inheritance Resolution, committing the city to working towards the goals of 100% renewable electricity by 2025 and net zero emissions by 2040.

Local students representing iMatter will be presenting their findings during the public comment period at next week's Champaign City Council meeting.
