Kyoto Now!
Kyoto Now! is a student-led movement at colleges and universities across the USA through which students hope to make American universities commit to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The name of the movement reflects the Kyoto Protocol, which the USA is currently is not considering ratifying. Cornell University's Kyoto Now! [1] demanded that the University commit "to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by seven percent below the 1990 levels of emissions by 2004. These reductions are not on a square foot basis, but based on the total campus emissions." Punk band Bad Religion wrote a song called "Kyoto Now!" for their 2002 album, The Process of Belief, which spoke about the Kyoto Protocol and their opinions on it. It can be considered an anthem for the Kyoto Now! movement.
