"I believe that part of the anxiety associated with global warming is our apprehension about being collectively responsible for what used to simply be called 'natural events' or 'acts of God' like hurricanes," Thomspon said. "We don't want to own it, so we don't want to believe we broke it; we fear a loss of innocence."
"The sooner we come to terms with this, I believe, the sooner we mature in the ways that will be required for the well-being of all life on Earth," he said.
The registration for the SSREC is $30 and includes the conference activities, food, and housing with students in Clemson. Students and faculty can register all the way up to the conference on Feb. 16.
Jed Hewitt, a 2006 graduate of Clemson University, is in charge of the housing committee for SSREC. The committee is responsible for finding hosts for the 300 attendees for the weekend.
According the Hewitt, they are asking friends, campus organizations and local churches for any available space or extra beds, futons or sofas where attendees can stay. He also says that camping is a great option this year, given the clear forecast for the weekend.
"I wanted to be a part of the SSREC organizing crew ever since I heard about this conference because I believe that clean and renewable energy needs to be promoted in the Southeast as well as here on Clemson's campus," said Hewitt. "This conference will continue to establish the large grassroots organization between universities of the Southeast, students, faculty and local citizens."
