Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO): The goal of ECO is to turn Dartmouth into the first 100% environmentally sustainable community. We aim to do this through a network of ECO Recycling Reps in dorms and CFS and affinity houses, through a number of student ECO interns who work in various departments, and through hundreds of different projects and great ideas. With your help, we'll make it.
Environmental Students at Dartmouth (ESD): The mission of ESD is to educate the Dartmouth community, and ourselves, on environmental issues at our College and in the global community at large. As environmentalists, it is our hope that with knowledge of these issues, the community will participate in activism that will improve the situation of our Earth and move towards a change in lifestyle to help mitigate our own detrimental effect on the land.
The Dartmouth Organic Farm: Run through the Outdoor Programs Office, the farm is located about 3 miles north of the campus. It has 2 acres of production, including 25 different flowers, herbs and vegetables, all of which are "certified organic" in their growing and harvesting. The farm is designed to help people who have no previous experience participate and learn. "Our crop is our students, not produce."--Scott Stokoe, farm manager
Campus Greens: We are looking forward to a fabulous year of campus activism, direct action, coalition building, protest and issue advocacy. From focusing on the growth & development of our own local organization and community, to establishing working relationships with the New Hampshire Green Party & broader groups, the Campus Greens promote grassroots democracy, civic participation, and progressive political action & campaigning. Keep an eye out for visitors we might bring to campus: Jello Biafra, Winona LaDuke, Tim Robbins, Cornel West, and perhaps even Ralph himself.
Dartmouth Organization for Global Awareness (DOGA): DOGA is a small group of students who believe strongly in the power of personal change and each individual's ability to engage the world in a creative manner. We were founded on the belief that nothing in this world is separate from us or our lives, and that we can do our best, with the support of friends, to live a lifestyle in accordance. DOGA's current focus is to promote the investing of Dartmouth's endowment fund in a socially responsible manner.
The Dartmouth Vegetarian Alliance (DVA): DVA is a newly formed group with the goal of making it easier to be vegetarian or vegan on campus. Goals include getting more vegetarian options at dinning halls, especially during weekends, and encouraging more students to eat less meat. The group includes students whose eating habits come from a wide range of beliefs; all are welcome!
The Resource Working Group (RWG): The RWG consists primarily of a number of mid-level administrators who identify possible improvements to operating policies and/or practices at Dartmouth related to energy conservation and the environment. They work closely with appropriate people on campus to devise strategies for implementation of these adjustments.
Environmental Studies Program (ENVS): Dartmouth's interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program is among the oldest in the country, founded in 1970 in response to a wave of environmental activism. The principal mission of the Environmental Studies Program is to investigate and teach about natural and social systems and provide students with the opportunity to assess the complexity of environmental problems and understand how to search for solutions to these problems. Be sure to check out the ENVS courses and stop by 113 Steele, in the Fairchild Science Center to say Hi!
Dartmouth Environmental Network (DEN): Founded in 1989, the Dartmouth Environmental Network (DEN) serves as a professional networking organization for nearly 500 alumni and alumnae with environmental interests. Over the last few years, DEN has broadened its focus by hosting more on-campus seminars and career panels, and by maintaining contact with the College on issues related to sustainability. For membership info, contact DEN.Membership@Dartmouth.edu
Upper Valley Sierra Club: We are the local arm of the nation's oldest and largest grassroots conservation group. Run by and for volunteers, the Sierra Club's members and leaders use grassroots conservation skills to explore, enjoy, and protect our Earth. To get involved and have fun with us, blitz
