"Members of Fossil Free Stanford acknowledge these are significant obstacles to overcome. But they also say it is a prime opportunity for Stanford to make a significant statement on fossil fuels that goes beyond hard numbers and financial documents. "Even a symbolic gesture is a huge way to drive change," says Erica Knox, '16, an outreach leader for the group. "As an educational institution, Stanford is an incubator of what the future is going to be, what kind of world we are going to build, and [fossil fuel] divestment speaks directly to that. It's a chance for Stanford to be a leader and a role model for other universities."
