NAELS Proposes First Annual Earth Day of Climate Neutrality
The National Association of Environmental Law Societies (NAELS) recently proposed to use Earth Day, 2006, as the first ever Day of Climate Neutrality (DCN). NAELS hopes the DCN can serve as an annual event to measure and try to eliminate or offset all campus greenhouse gas emissions for the 24 period around Earth Day, while bringing together teams of climate champions, and providing them with access to tools, resources, and opportunities.
