In partnership with the 1 Million Women (1MW) campaign created in Australia, Binghamton University launched the 1MReady_BING initiative on February 2, 2024 to empower students to act on climate change, setting the stage for expansion to the local community, the broader State University of New York system, and beyond.
The goal?
1MReady_BING has one simple goal with a big impact: recruit students, faculty, and staff members to pledge to take small steps in their daily lives that save energy, reduce waste, cut pollution, and demonstrate that small steps can lead to big change.
The first cohort of climate ambassadors was selected this fall in preparation for the official launch on February 2. These ambassadors — first with their University peers, and then in the larger community and local high schools — will spread the word about ways to reduce our carbon footprint through the 1MREADY app.

The Kaschak Institute worked in collaboration with a team of strong partners at the university to launch this pilot initiative: Binghamton Two Degrees, Sustainable Communities Transdisciplinary Area of Excellence, the Office of Sustainability, the Center for Civic Engagement and the Binghamton University Common Read Experience.
