Abstract:
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced its plan to end coal use in its power plants in ten years. UNC is the first university to end its coal use since the Sierra Club targeted 60 universities who use coal last September. UNC was facing heavy pressure from students who claimed their efforts to be environmentally friendly were not going far enough. The university will switch to woody biomass and natural gas while exploring solar options.

Abstract:
A small Chapel Hill environmental group called the Student Environmental Action Coalition has become a national coalition of 30,000 students. The group deals with issues that affect the natural environment, and also issues that affect the man-made environment. At the group’s national conference, the environmentalists were encouraged to confront issues of race, class, and social justice. This mindset and other details behind how the group has expanded from a small, Chapel Hill to a large, nationwide group are explored.
