===The Group===
The Thursday Night Group Grassroots is a weekly social gathering dedicated to discussing and acting against global warming. The group was previously known as Thursday Night Group, but renamed in spring 2011 for clarity. Students concerned about carbon emissions, energy policy and paradigm shift gather on Thursday nights in [[Dodd House|Dodd]] living room Harper Houe at 109:00p.m. The group was founded by [[Morgan Goodwin]] and [[Justin Bates]] in order to increase the scope and presence of environmentally oriented groups on campus while at the same time including a more diverse group of people. Since then, it has come to replace [[Greensense]] as the student environmental group on campus. The relaxed atmosphere and social setting make the group more of a study break and repriev reprieve from the stress of other meetings than a meeting itself. Beer also helps.
