Missoula Powershift

This weekend a delegation of SAVE's Americorps workers and Carroll students traveled west to Missoula to attend the Rocky Mountain Powershift conference at the University of Montana campus. There, we attended presentations and workshops designed to produce effective youth advocates for the environment through grassroots campaigning and alternative consumption and organization. Highlights included a Skyped keynote address from BIll McKibben, a small group discussion with student transit coordinators running the campus's fleet of nine buses, a one-on-one discussion with business cooperative specialists, and community buy-in strategizing with Adventure Cycling Association representatives. In all, we came away with new friends and opportunities to expand on our current work. Keep your eyes on SAVE for future announcements!
