Beyond Oil Campaign (Ongoing)

Description

The Beyond Oil Campaign began in Fall 2012 with the aim of reducing use of oil on the University of Illinois campus, since oil dependence has harmful economic, political, and environmental effects. The goals of the group are to persuade the administration to green their fleets, improve bike policies, and improve access to public transportation. The group plans to accomplish these goals through petitions, gaining student and faculty support, and communication with the administration.

Beyond Oil is part of a national campaign that is sponsored by the Sierra Club and the Sierra Student Coalition.

Conclusion

Beyond Oil, also known as Beyond Coal UIUC merged with Students for Environmental Concerns. The student group is apart of SECS and is now known as Fossil Free UIUC.
