Georgia Tech Wins National Wildlife Federation Video Award

Primary tabs

A video submitted by the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Students Organizing for Sustainability (SOS) has been named the winner of a National Wildlife Federation competition.  The annual award program, “Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming,” honors U.S. campuses that are advancing creative solutions to address the environmental challenge. Georgia Tech won this year’s best video honor after receiving the highest number of votes on www.GoGreenTube.com.

Georgia Tech’s SOS teamed up with the Environmental Alliance group to create the winning video that showcases recycling, environmental education, bicycle repair and proliferation and community garden programs at Georgia Tech. The organizations will receive a $500 grant to continue innovating global warming solutions.

The Chill Out initiative is part of the National Wildlife Federation’s Campus Ecology Program,  an integral part of the campus greening movement since 1989. The nation’s 4,100 colleges and universities educate more than 15 million students in any given year, making these schools important laboratories for creativity and innovation—keys to tackling a monumental crisis like global warming.
