Ideas for college chapters

  • Table at new student day or club day etc.
  • Pitch an article to the student newspaper.
  • Pitch a story to the college radio station.
  • Find clubs that want to help.
  • Find relevant classes (e.g., climate change, air pollution, or other environmental or policy classes) and then email the professors and/or visit the classes to pitch the campaign and get students involved.
  • Identify cafeterias, bookstores, bus stops, and other places where it would be good to collect signatures. Some of those places (like campus bike shops) might be willing to keep a signboard and packet there for folks to sign.
