Making East Campus a Beast Campus 03/30/2010
 Rachel Hare, a loyal group member, writes in the Rethink College Park blog how "The East Campus project presents an opportunity for the University of Maryland to become the benchmark for sustainable development in Maryland." On April 5, "UMD for Clean Energy will host Green for College Park II: Making East Campus a Beast Campus, a panel discussion exploring green initiatives to make the East Campus project a pioneer in environmentally sound development." http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2010/2085/ CommentsLeave a Reply |  AuthorUMD for Clean Energy is a student activist group at the University of Maryland. In the past, they have successfully petitioned the university and University System of Maryland Board of Regents to commit to carbon neutrality by 2050. This past spring, they were successful in collaborating with statewide environmental groups to pass the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act, which sets the strongest short-term emissions reduction target in the nation – 25 percent reductions from 2006 levels by 2020. The group has also recently engaged at the federal level, lobbying for climate legislation which passed the House of Representatives this past June and will be considered by the Senate in the fall.
