The weekend of November 15th and 16th, students from across the Northwest converged in Seattle for Re-Energize the Northwest - a global warming summit designed as a way for young people to come together and pool their resources for making change in this region. At Re-Energize the Northwest, which was sponsored by the Sierra Club and the Sierra Student Coalition, and hosted by the Cascade Climate Network, we heard from campaigns and issues ranging from kicking coal and Liquefied Natural Gas out of the Northwest to exploitation of the Amazon Rainforest by oil companies. The Uncover Intel Secrets campaign was one of many voices at the summit, and our small but growing group of Uncover Intel organizers made significant headway in planning the campaign that will convince Intel Corporation to live up to the green image it has painted for itself. We'll soon have more ways for you to help urge Intel to take up this more active role promoting clean energy and solutions to global warming in our area. For now, though, I'm just glad to say that the Re-Energize the Northwest was an amazing success, and an inspiring thing to have been a part of - and that student groups like the Cascade Climate Network are making ready for a historic Oregon legislative session in 2009.
