Virginia Power Shift 2008 is a historic environmental conference for the state of Virginia:  Youth are converging from across the state on the campus of Virginia Tech this October 10th, 11th, and 12th and taking the next step in the movement towards sustainability.  This conference will give students at any stage of the movement the tools to build a sustainable Commonwealth through education, grassroots political action, and campus leadership training. Participants will have the choice between workshops ranging from beginner composting to green politics and engineering. Guest speakers will reinforce the workshops with invigorating ideas and personal experiences. A roundtable discussion between local, state, and national politicians will introduce the participants to different views concerning the government’s role in building a sustainable Commonwealth. Join us in Inventing the RIGHT Future for Virginia starting right here in Blacksburg, VA!
