Keep Green Mountain College Open
Our extraordinary Blue Jewel of a planet (Home to Everything You Know and Love) is in a climate crisis. The existing culture of Sustainability at Green Mountain College is just what we need to educate future leaders.
Please sign this petition to find new leadership and keep this school open so it does not lose its accreditation.
The climate clock is ticking and we do not have the time to try to recreate this model of sustainability.
Here is how you can help:
1) Sign this petition and actively pass it on to everyone you know.
2) Join their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SaveGMC/
3) Any students interested in sustainability add GMC to your FASFA application and apply at GMC
4) Visit https://savegmc.org/ to make a pledge. We can't let this 185-year-old institution fail.

Why is this important?
Green Mountain College, “FIRST IN SUSTAINABILITY” has a well-deserved reputation as a leader in sustainability: https://www.greenmtn.edu/about/why-gmc/awards-accolades/
The entire campus is heated with a wood chip gasification technology to create steam that warms all the buildings. They can also use this steam to create their own electricity.
It has a working farm complete with animals, greenhouse, and solar panels.
The beauty of the campus, the student culture, and dedication to all the different aspects of sustainability would be a great loss for the town of Poultney and the region. It would also be a great loss to all the hardworking folks everywhere trying to save our planet.
They also have some great masters degrees:
Master of Science degree in Resilient & Sustainable Communities (MRSC)
Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems
