Pacific University, in Forest Grove, has become the 9th college in the Northwest to have its student government endorse the Cascade Climate Declaration - a document written by Northwest students, calling for strong action against global warming from all levels of government.  The student-run Cascade Climate Network, which put together the Declaration, has cited it when testifying before the state legislatures of both Oregon and Washington, and those of us at Pacific will be alerting our local and state elected officials that the student government which represents the undergraduate student body here has decided this issue is important enough to take a position.  I have already emailed the Washington County Board of Commissioners.  One by one, our colleges and universities in the Northwest are showing that students care about climate destabilization, and reducing the carbon footprint from our area.  Let's get every student government in the Northwest to endorse the Cascade Climate Declaration!

And if you live in Washington County, and haven't already, please SIGN THE PETITION TO THE WASHINGTON COUNTY BOARD, and ask them to follow the lead students are taking!
