Campuses Beyond Coal
Transitioning our schools to 100% clean energy solutions
Campuses Beyond Coal is a joint effort between the Sierra Student Coalition and the Sierra Club to move our nation's universities beyond coal to 100% clean energy solutions. We aim to retire the entire fleet of campus owned coal plants and end our schools' dependence on the coal-generated electricity they purchase. Sign up to get involved and start transforming your community.
Take Action - 100% Clean: 100 Actions for Clean Energy

Coal to Clean Energy Film Festival
We have a full suite of coal and clean energy documentaries for campus screenings. We’ll provide the films and screening rights – you just have to set up your local events.
