Rutgers Newark is kicking off its Dorm Challenge on Thursday, February 1. The Chellenge is a part of the Campus Climate Challenge, the campaign to have students lead the way on global warming solutions. The Dorm Challenge is between University Square and Woodward Hall to see which dorm can conserve the most energy in a two month period. Conserving energy is just another solution to global warming. Since using less energy means there is less energy made, less fossil fuels are burned. Students are conserving energy in the dorms to show just how easy solutions to global warming are. The winning dorm will be getting a prize that is yet to be determined.
Also part of the Dorm Challenge are some fun educational events in the dorms. On February 7, An Inconvenient Truth will be shown on campus in the University Square Multipurpose Room. The movie begins at 8pm. Refreshments will be provided as well as alot of great information about solutions to global warming and chances to get involved. Another event is the Valentine's Day candy grams in the dorms on Wednesday February 14. Look for a table in the lobby of either Woodward or University Square to get a free Global Warming Candy Gram. The candy grams have tips on how to conserve energy. Other events will be held both in the dorms and on campus throughout the course of the semester to promote the Dorm Challenge.
