Leave your pledge and we will contribute $20 to Scholarship Fund

Click My Green Pledge to make a video or email pledge against global warming. Your pledge will be used to help raise awareness around buildings and climate change. In addition, Schneider Electric will contribute $20 for every pledge made up to a maximum of $10,000. The money will be used for the ActiveBE scholarship fund to be awarded to one architecture or engineering student this year.

Scholarship will help an Architect or Engineering student

Few people know it, but buildings are the single biggest contributors to global warming. But it needn’t be that way. Most existing buildings can be engineered to reduce energy consumption by a third. New buildings can achieve even greater energy savings if they are designed to do so from the start. That could save thousands of tons of CO2 from being released into our atmosphere each day.

That is why architects and the engineers hold the key to climate change. We want them to embrace this responsibility. And here’s how you can help.

500 Pledges by December 31^st

This means we need just 500 pledges to reach our target scholarship sum of $10,000. But the cut off is December 31st and that’s soon. In February, we will be announcing a contest to pick a deserving student as a candidate for the scholarship. But before that, we need you to you submit your pledge and get your friends to do the same. Remember, the more pledges that are submitted, the more awareness we raise and the more money there will be in the ActiveBE scholarship fund. Why wait for politicians to stop global warming when you can act now? Take the first step. Please make your pledge now.
