In response to Katie:

The petition needs to be MUCH stronger than the last LEED petition as this is a much larger issue(we need to prove that the student body is educated and aware + Sign on the majority of the student body)

Questions that come to mind:

1)is the PCC currently a topic of discussion for the board? I'm guessing that they know its floating around.

2)Can we hold a successful student campaign/petition/AND revise the report in a few days... I would imagine not.

3)If we have all block for the report/petition/campaign will it be more effective... my answer is yes.

4)How much does the time of year matter for Celeste/the Board to agree on the PCC?----- I have no clue. Does J.Delahunt know?

I am voting on a full 8th block effort for the PCC Campaign.

I agree with Katie - send in the report for the board meeting and work 8th block on a successful campaign as a follow up.

What if they decide against it without the student support? I guess they can always go back once they find out the student body is behind it.

I have to agree with Katie as well. If we hand them the report, it will at least be circulating in their dome spaces. Then we can reafirm any doubt with student support. We need to hold the board accountable when students are actually here. I feel like energy dies during the summer.

Submitting the preliminary PCC report this week to the board seems like the best approach. Let's do that and in the meantime get the petition and other education tools going.

Time of year doesn't matter. The commitment matters and the two interim steps are free of direct cost. We then have two years to come up with a plan, which includes the time-frame, so that's lots of time to integrate climate mitigation $ into the budget.
