What:
GreenPeach Energy-Action Gathering
The GreenPeach Energy-Action Gathering was conceived as a product
of isolated student and youth initiatives that are fighting global
warming causing energy use/production that were being undertaken across
the state of Georgia.
Greenpeach energy gatherings are intent on providing a space for
student and youth to come and learn about both clean renewable and
dirty conventional sources of energy, how that energy is used in the
state, and how we, as young people, can build power to ensure that the
decisions being made today are the best for OUR FUTURE.
This year, several campaigns suggestions will be utilized as a means to
contextualize the trainings being offered to youth citizens. These
campaigns are designed to give students a voice in the decision making
processes both on and off campuses. As well, this years Greenpeach will
also be a space for attendees to enjoy the outdoors while networking
and meeting students from across the state interested in stopping
global climate change.
