WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! The University has decided to dissolve their Office of Sustainability!

There is a very small window of time to lobby the Chancellor to reverse this decision. Please take a few minutes to share this far and wide, and add your voice to this discussion. Please send an email to: Dr. Divina Grossman, at [email protected]

There is a meeting tonight, with the Chancellor, at 6 p.m., in the Auditorium. Please attend to show your support.

The Office of Campus and Community Sustainability at UMass... was created in 2007, and funded at a level of $100,000 for programming, projects, and employees. That level of support dropped in FY'13, to $25,000, when our supervision moved to a different college in the University, and this year was cut to zero. The University has said, as recently as Friday, that Sustainability is a priority to the institution. A Green Fee was just instated--estimated to be about $100,000 annually--who will shepherd those projects and ensure that the money is spent properly?

Any note that you could send [quickly] might help make a difference. Thank you for your support and please share this with other partners and allies.

Other SEEAL - Southeastern Environmental Education Alliance Partners and allies: Marion Institute, The Trustees Youth Conservation Corps, The Trustees of Reservations, Mass Audubon Allens Pond, Lloyd Center for the Environment, YouthBuild New Bedford, Ocean Explorium, Brix Bounty Farm, please help!
