The name and a brief description of each student group focused on sustainability:
Our Student Goverment also known as the Excutive Council of Students (ECOS) conducts a yearly campus wide clean up event. This also would include assessments on location of trash receptacles and recycling containers. Phi Theta Kappa recently focused on a campus wide cigarette butt clean day. The butts were collected and weighed to show students the amount of butts thrown on the ground. The goal was to clean up the campus and help in a campaign to help smokers quit. Service Learning students completed two green houses that utilized recycled tires for tiles and solar energy to heat rocks in barrels to provide heat when necessary. These projects were done several years ago.
