The goal of Clean Energy for Smith! is to to promote the use of clean, renewable energy at Smith as well as the efficient use of existing sources of energy. We began as a project campaign of Masspirg in the Fall of 2004 and is in the process of becoming a chartered organization. We meet every Thursday at 7pm on the lower level of the Campus Center on the green couches.
Some of our accomplishments this year:
