The name and a brief description of each student group:
The PoweSave Green Campus Program at Cal Poly Pomona works to reduce energy use on campus through a student-led campaign directed at other students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community. It focuses both on education and on specific projects on campus to change behaviors and "to demonstrate how energy and sustainability are integral to our society."
The Green Team is a student club that aims to infuse environmental awareness around campus and advocate for a more environmentally friendly Cal Poly Pomona. They hold events regularly, such as film viewings, Earth Week programming, guest speaker forums, and community dinners.
