MULTIMEDIA: 5CEJ Field Day draws student support for renewable energy switch at the 5Cs

(Bianca Mirica • The Student Life)

On February 28, 5C Environmental Justice organized a “Field Day” at Walker Beach, encouraging students to learn more about their renewable energy “Claremont OFF Fossil Fuels” campaign.

While 5CEJ continues efforts to increase student engagement, campaign advocates have also sought approval from 7C management committees. In December, they met with the Facilities Managers Committee to present concrete transition ideas. On March 5, 5CEJ’s proposal was reviewed in a meeting with BFAC — a body composed of financial leadership from across the colleges — and club leadership. The review represented a critical stage in the decision-making process, as the committee evaluated whether switching to CPA is financially viable.  

In this video, TSL highlights the 15 environmental and political clubs and organizations from across the consortium who took part in the event to support 5CEJ’s campaign and build community in an afternoon of music, lawn games and outreach.
