Focus the Nation is organizing a national teach-in on global warming solutions for America-creating a dialogue at over a thousand colleges, universities, high schools, middle schools, places of worship, civic organizations and businesses, and directly engaging millions of students and citizens with thenation's decision-makers.

We'll have pods displaying information on Climate Change and Your Body, Energy Savings, Effective and Safe Landscaping, Transportation, UCF Faculty, UCF Student Clubs, UCF Green Activities (ex. green roofs and plug-in hybrid). < Get involved!
