Taking collaboration to a whole new level, the Greenpeace Student Network and the Greenpeace Organizing Term have teamed up at Columbia University in New York City. Campus Coordinator at Columbia, Lauren Valle, and the campus group EarthCo already has the Apple campaign going full-swing at Columbia, and recently, the GOT has joined them. To be sure, the intensity of this campaign will be raised to extraordinary heights.
Columbia is a key campus because Bill Campbell is the chair of trustees at the school and he also sits on the Apple board. You can count your chickens on this: the company will definitely be monitoring what goes on at Columbia.
    But, perhaps you are wondering: “what exactly is going on at Columbia?” Let me share: This past week the GOT has been doing a TON of outreach, has had more than 500 petitions signed and taken more than 50 "hug my mac" pix for the website. The petitions will both go directly to our buddy Steve, and be used by Lauren and EarthCo in their campaign to get campus administration to write a letter of concern. Way to go, GOT and EarthCo!


This is a photo about collaboration, but the GOT-EarthCo collaboration is….less stripped?
