The Tour
There will be three components to the Students for Sustainability Campus Tour: exhibitions, speaking engagements, and documentary film.
Exhibitions
At each tour stop national, region, and community groups will set up a campus exhibition showcasing the many realities of climate change. Each exhibition will include information tables on action students can take in their own lives as well as ways they can demand action from all levels of government, a dramatic photography display illustrating the effects of climate change, computer terminals where students can interact with digital resources available on a variety of climate topics, and kiosks staffed by activists to answer questions and provide information on environment sustainability.
Speaking Engagements
