BREAKING NEWS:
Last night, Student Congress approved the motion to place the $4/semester "renewable energy fee" on next week's student elections ballot for renewal! They also approved wording that would expanding reach of approved projects to include energy efficiency projects - something that is just as important in reducing UNC's energy dependence and environmental footprint.
The ballot will read:
“Do you support further initiatives by the Renewable Energy Special Projects Committee and the University to maintain UNC’s position as an innovative leader in sustainability and carbon emission reduction? A vote of yes will approve the renewal of the Renewable Energy fee that will fund renewable energy (such as solar, biodiesel, and geothermal) and energy efficiency projects in situations directly affecting students. The fee, if approved, will be paid by undergraduate and graduate students.”
