On April 23rd, MTV chose Rutgers University and Cornell University as the winners of their "Break the Addiction Challenge." MTV recognized the work of NJPIRG Student Chapters' Campus Climate Challenge students, in organizing "an Inconvenient Truth" screening for 300 students and Congressman Pallone, organizing a Solar Day to showcase solar technology, and campaigning for a campus polity to cut Rutgers global warming pollution 90% by 2050. Rutgers Newark student Patrick Adams went on MTV's TRL to accept the prize-- $10,000 towards an eco-renovation of the Rutgers student Center.
