Yesterday, at 5 PM, I wandered computer-bleary eyed around the net. Feeling too guilty about my one-hour Chinese restaurant lunch to leave the office early, I stumbled across some resources my lovely Greenpeace colleagues have thoughtfully placed upon the web.
    I know that the web is made up of many rooms with many different doors and corridors leading to these rooms, so yes, you may have come across some of these tools en route to reading this blog. But I’m going to assume that you haven’t. After all, doesn’t one always want to think that one is helpful, introducing friends to new things, rather than annoying, pointing out things friends already know?  
    Here’s what I found.
    If you go to http://kleercut.net/en/campus, you will be able to download a Kleercut student packet. This is a nine-page guide to beginning, middling, and completing the Campaign on your campus. Also available on the site, you will find a sample letter your university can “write” to K-C. This letter, or one extremely similar to it, is your goal. (You will find a link to this blog, but nuff said about that.) Though Lindsey Allen, our very dedicated Campus Kleercut Organizer, will be glad to send you information on the Kleercut Campaign, it’s always good to be able to access the resource on your own, from your dorm room or the library or where ever else you might be.  
    The other resource I came across in my end-of-the-day internet hiking trip was the Greenpeace Student Network. If you go to http://members.greenpeace.org/students, you will find a list of schools that have already joined the network, so you can see if you school’s there, or if there are schools in your area. (High schoolers—there are high schools in the network too!)  If you mosey on to the About Us link, you can learn more about the structure of the network. This is especially helpful if you are in the beginning stages of getting a group of students together.
    Further, also on the page is a brief history of the 21st Century. The 21st Century Greenpeace Student Network, that is. It unarguably inspiring to read about these students’ accomplishments. Last night, I went home at a decent hour, full of Chinese food lunch and excitement for the future.
