Snowy weather didn’t stop the UW-L No Coal Coalition and Environmental Council from hosting a Clean Energy Rally Wednesday, April 20, on campus. The rally moved from Hoeschler Tower to Cartwright Center. Pictured here UW-L student Jennifer Dausey discusses problems caused by burning coal. UW-L Chancellor Joe Gow, La Crosse County Sustainability Coordinator Nick Nichols, La Crosse Mayor Matt Harter and others also spoke. The state of Wisconsin owns UW-L’s plant, which generally burns coal during winter months. Harter praised students for keeping the issue on the forefront. “We’re all breathing the same air,” said Harter. “Bringing coal here and to other university campuses is not going to fly in the future.”
