5th Annual SSREC…. Right around the bend

The energy is building here in the little southern town of Valdosta Georgia, as youth from across the Southeast begin to trickle in, volunteering their time to prepare for what promises to be an exciting, and in many respects epic, weekend. Thats right, one more day, until Southern Energy Networks 5th Annual South East Student Renewable Energy Conference!

This year, more then 400 students from more then 8 states will converge to hear the stories of gulf-coast/appalachian community members and young people whos lives have been dramatically effected by fossil fuels extraction, dirty energy production, and the worst effects of global warming. Students and Youth come to share experiences, knowledge, and insight on the many ways campuses leading the way in healing America’s dirty energy addiction, with a strong dose of clean and health energy justice.

Most importantly, however, we come to rejoice in and celebrate the fellowship and stewardships of our peers who share with us the heavy burden of strengthening one of our nations weakest links in the international struggle to save our climate, our communities, and our futures.
