Current Campaigns
 

10x10
Excessive and wasteful use of energy is the trademark of our modern lives. Stop the needless destruction of mountains, pollution of air, and increase in global temperatures by promoting the change to clean, renewable sources of energy. The 10 x 10 campaign actively fights for clean energy by working with Berea College to commit to using 10% renewable energy bythe year 2010.

Green Purchasing
The chemicals in cleaning products have damaging effects on the environment, specifically the ozone layer. This campaign strives to get the college to purchase all environmentally safe cleaning products.

Berea Bikes
If you like inhaling clean air then you know bikes are going to have to take over the world. With this program we are trying to do just that on our campus in Berea! Berea Bikes is working to establish a community bike system, where blue bikes are available at any location on campus and are free for students to use. In our cycling utopia, you can ride a bike to class and leave it for the next student to ride home on.

Women’s Health Initiative
It is time to start talking about women’s health. This initiative provides information to women of Berea College on the special needs of our bodies and how healthcare providers in and around Berea can meet those needs. The initiative also organizes campus events to further promote student awareness of women’s health.

SOA Watch
SOA Watch is an independent organization that seeks to close the US Army School of the Americas, under whatever name it is called, through vigils and fasts, demonstrations and nonviolent protest, as well as media and legislative work. SOA graduates have included many of the most notorious human rights abusers from Latin America. SOA graduates have led military coups and are responsible for massacres of hundreds of people.

Fair Trade
Yes, social justice is even invading your coffee cup! What you drink is produced by farmers that aren’t paid enough to provide the basic needs for their families. Stop the cycle of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer by helping HEAL to advocate Fair Trade beverages at every location on campus. Fair Trade = paying farmers a living wage.
