Fossil Free (Boston College)

A coalition of Boston College students, faculty, and alumni promoting the university's divestment from fossil fuel companies.

[Fossil Free (Boston College) @Fossil_Free]

We've been telling @BostonCollege to divest since 2013.

They should have listened.

@daveweigel What is raising costs for Americans right now?

Our dependence on oil and fossil fuels or wind and solar power?

[Fossil Free (Boston College) @Fossil_Free]

@daveweigel How many jobs has Trump’s war or wind and renewable energy cost?

How many good paying construction jobs got wiped out when he cancelled planned projects?

Maybe you could actually report on something like this instead of parroting the anti-environmentalist position here.

@eschor @daveweigel Hey you know what is raising costs for Americans and harming the economy right now?

Our dependence on fossil fuels.

You know what doesn’t increase when the strait of Hormuz is closed? The cost of wind and solar power.

All those people who shouted down the climate protestors blocking the road to burning man are now trapped in a flash flood.

Smoky morning. In NYC it’s a whopping 100+ ug/m3. And even in Boston where it *looks* much better outside it’s still above 30.

For reference:
—> current health-based limit is 12
—> stricter proposed standard is 8
—> indoors at Harvard w upgraded filtration? < 5

Read the account of a trans student at BC who is not allowed to live in housing of her gender identity.

BC’s policies continue to cause harm to trans students in a multitude of ways.

In 2023 it’s not just unacceptable it’s infuriating.

@bcheights @BC_CSON Weird to have a major in "globa health and the common good" when you are still invested in fossil fuels.

Penn students rush the field nearing the end of halftime of a Penn-Yale football game, protesting climate and community justice from Penn’s administration.

[Fossil Free (Boston College) @Fossil_Free]

@BostonCollege @BC_Admission Also highly ranked in ignoring the Pope's call to divest from fossil fuels and prisons.

Is it getting hotter? You be the judge. ➡️ Global heat records in June continually being broken across the world as the global average temperature rises.

[Climate Justice @ BC @BClimateJustice]

A huge thank you to @tiziana_dearing for asking about divestment and @BostonCollege’s sanctions against CJBC during yesterday’s @BCSchillerInst event! ❤️🌍

BC needs to divest from fossil fuel and stop punishing student activists for demanding action on climate change.

[Fossil Free (Boston College) @Fossil_Free]

During this time @BostonCollege invested in and profited off of companies responsible for these deaths.

#BostonCollege #BC360 #BC2026 #BCEagles

[Climate Justice @ BC @BClimateJustice]

.@BostonCollege is investing money in these criminals right now.

Why let a little human suffering and destruction of the planet get in the way of making money.

"Between 2010 and 2020, 15 times more people died from floods, droughts and storms in very vulnerable regions including parts of Africa, South Asia and Central and South America, than in other parts of the world."

This is what BC is still investing in. https://t.co/VcapuxqFoU
