Beanbags & Biodiversity: CFACT Collegians Take Aim at Invasive Species

When it comes to conservation, CFACT Collegians aren’t content to sit in a classroom and theorize—they bring the message straight to their peers in ways that are engaging, memorable, and rooted in real-world impact. That spirit was on full display as students at two major universities put their own creative spin on the “Invasive Species Round-Up” event, turning a serious ecological issue into hands-on, interactive learning. At the University of Tennessee Knoxville, collegian Jude Abernathy introduced what he dubbed the “Invasive Species Cornhole Quiz.” Interacting with over 25 students throughout the day while donning an orange hunting safety vest, Jude transformed a [...]

Marc Morano Brings Climate Reality to Maine Students

Under a crisp Maine evening sky, students gathered at the New Beginnings Church of God in Waterville for a powerful and timely discussion on the future of climate policy—one that challenged the narratives they hear every day in the classroom. Hosted by the Leadership Institute at Kennebec Community College and featuring CFACT’s own Marc Morano, the event drew a motivated audience eager to hear a different perspective on one of today’s most debated issues. University of Maine Orono student Payton Warren coordinated and transported a group of 7 students from his campus an hour south to attend the March 10th event—an [...]

Conservation, Not Panic: Texas CFACT Students Debunk Land-Usage Anxiety

CFACT Campus Representatives are continuing to prove that when it comes to environmental stewardship, facts—not fear—drive meaningful change. Three students in Texas recently brought that principle to life through the “Conservation, Not Panic!” campaign, each taking a unique approach to the same powerful message. To educate their fellow peers, Nicolas, Noah, and Sofia utilized colorful maps displaying the locations of land dedicated to conservation, owned by either land trusts, non-profit organizations, or individual landowners. At Sam Houston State University (SHSU), Nicolas Walker demonstrated the versatility and depth of the campaign by executing his event in two distinct settings. First, he hosted a classroom-style [...]

TX & NY Students Submit Comments on Energy, Minerals, & Land Transparency

Students with CFACT Collegians continue to make their voices heard in the federal rulemaking process by submitting formal public comments on policy proposals affecting energy reliability, mineral supply chains, and agricultural land ownership. Public comments give citizens an opportunity to weigh in on regulatory decisions before agencies finalize new rules, ensuring policymakers hear directly from those who will live with the consequences. Recently, three students — Nicolas Walker of Sam Houston State University, Skyler Perez of the City University of New York (CUNY John Jay College), and Silas Pearson of Liberty University — each submitted comments addressing separate federal proposals. One [...]

Collegians Speak Up for State Authority on Clean Water

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed revisions to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, a provision that governs how states and authorized tribes review federal permits for projects that may impact local water quality. The proposal seeks to restore a broader interpretation of state authority, allowing certifying agencies to evaluate the full scope of federally permitted activities—not just narrow point-source discharges such as pipes or ditches—and giving states greater procedural flexibility to approve, deny, or condition permits in ways that align with their own water quality standards. The proposed changes would reinforce the Clean Water Act’s original [...]

UT Austin Student Exposes Net Zero’s Human Cost

On a busy stretch of campus at the University of Texas at Austin, students traversing between classes were met with a message rarely discussed in environmental conversations: the global push for “Net Zero” energy relies on human exploitation. That message came from Thien Nguyen, a CFACT student intern who hosted a “Cobalt Kills Heart Wall”—an interactive awareness display designed to expose the human and environmental costs hidden behind so-called “green energy.” The event centered on a large backdrop posing a moral challenge about Net Zero policies, paired with heart-shaped cutouts inviting students to respond in their own words. Apart of CFACT’s [...]

Survey Says: Texas Students Want Real Energy & Real Debate

For years, campus activists and administrators have tried to sell the public a fiction: college students are unanimously devoted to “green” energy mandates and climate alarmism, and anyone who questions the prevailing narrative is some kind of relic of the past. UT Austin student and CFACT Collegian intern Thien Nguyen decided to test that assumption the old-fashioned way—by asking students directly. Over the course of roughly a month, Thien conducted a seven-question survey alongside his three separate tabling events, handing out flyers with a QR code that took students straight to the online poll. Instead of relying on a single day’s [...]

CFACT’s daring fight for sensible environmentalism

LISTEN HERE The parachute jump by members of the Washington, D.C.-based Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) into the UN’s Climate Conference in South Africa epitomizes the group’s daring and fun approach to beating environmental extremism at the own game. Or how about boarding a Greenpeace ship to lower banners opposing Greenpeace’s stance on climate change? Or how about dressing up as Al Gore and leading a march in San Francisco in response to the Global Climate Action Summit occurring at the same time in the city. And of course, no one can forget the Amazing Climate Hustle 1 and 2 documentary films [...]
