Student Environmental Activists No matter where we go, we are surrounded by our natural environment every day. But do we ever think about what would happen to our world if our environment stopped providing for us? We, as students, as youth of America, have the opportunity to make change happen. Creating change in our own way, with our own ideas, is the only way to truly live. "Activism is the rent we pay for living on this Earth." Alice Walker United States Green Building Council Student Group Student organization committed to a prosperous and sustainable future through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings. CSUF Student's Recycle CSUF Student's Recycle is a volunteer-based club. It is a great opportunity to improve the environment by recycling used bottles and cans with the proceeds being used to purchase food for local soup kitchens. It builds leadership skills and improves character, and allows the development of lasting friendships. It is a great way to establish references for future aspirations, to establish strong communication skills, and to expand awareness of our service to the community.
