To support the Greenpeace Fund’s Take Back the Earth Campaign, a two-tiered approach to building public support for imaginative solutions to environmental degradation including over-logging of national forests, air and water pollution and the numerous problems associated with fossil fuel development. The first tier is to work with grassroots organizers and organizations on the campus, state and local levels to educate the public about increasing levels of risk to the environment. The second is to work with the Apollo Alliance, labor unions, businesses and state and local partners to promote clean energy investments in key regions, and create a new and much needed public demand for clean technology solutions to economic and environmental problems. Greenpeace will build on its campus organizing work to grow youth support for clean energy and green building policies on at least 50 campuses nationwide, coordinate and train student networks, and facilitate campus-to-campus information and skill sharing. Greenpeace will broaden its communications strategies with increased use of broadcast and print media and also communicate its work through Op-Eds, speaker tours and public service announcements.
