GOING CLIMATE NEUTRAL
"Campus Communities Taking the Moral and Technological Lead To Fight Global Warming"

ACTION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL

There has been little serious commitment at the Federal level to address climate change. President Bush went back on a campaign promise to work with the rest of the world on the Kyoto Treaty and has introduced only voluntary, market-based measures to reduce government and industry emissions. The US Senate voted down the bipartisan Climate Stewardship Act last year. Both the Senate and House versions have been re-introduced in 2005.
