Announcements Hands on the Planet 2006 Pictures Who we are Environmental Action (EnAct) is the oldest environmental
organization at the
Fall Winter 06-07 campaigns
Cool People Love Recycling - Many landlords do not provide recycle bins to their tenants, and as a result, many student houses do not recycle. We are trying to persuade landlords to provide recycling bins to their tenants by going to their offices and talking with them, we are also in the process of organizing tenant phone-ins to landlord offices. Environmental Education- We are starting an environmental education program where we will teach fifth grade students about a variety of ecological issues. Make Love, Not CO2 -We are starting a campaign to encourage students to limit their CO2 emissions by providing examples of simple ways students can decrease their energy usage. Students will sign commitment forms that state they will try to limit their CO2 emissions by adopting some of these behaviors.
Recycled Notebooks- We will be selling recycled notebooks throughout the
semester. They are made from used cereal
boxes and reused paper.
