Sunday Night Group
From MiddWiki
The Sunday Night Group (SNG) is an innovative student organization of activists at Middlebury College that meets every Sunday evening and is open to all. The group was formed in January 2005 to assist students in coordinating various environmental campaigns, especially those concerning global warming. SNG was responsible for January 2006's Get Outside Week[1], the Two Degree Campaign[2], and a current effort towards carbon neutrality[3] of all Middlebury College operations. SNG pushes its activism beyond the campus, including co-organizing a rally in support of clean-energy legislation, called Fossil Fool's Day (April 1st), at the Vermont State House in Montpelier[4]. Over 130 student activists attended the December 2005 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Montreal where some served as official observer delgates. Internationally-renowned environmentalist Bill McKibben serves as an informal advisor to the organiation. The organization and its members have received positive recognition from on-campus offices and from statewide media sources[5].[1]
Meetings: Sundays 9pm in le Chateau Grand Salon
