Student Groups

Interested in getting involved in environmental issues on campus? There are many things that you can do. Here are some good people to contact:

Sprout!

Sprout! is the College's sustainable gardening initiative, educating the Connecticut College community about sustainable agriculture, promoting the purchase of locally and organically grown foods, supplying sustainably/organically grown foods to the dining halls, and providing a means to learn about sustainable agriculture firsthand by working in the on-campus garden.

Renewable Energy Club

The Renewable Energy Club was formed in the spring of 2001 during the efforts to persuade the College to purchase some of its electricity from clean, renewable sources. Today the group works on educating the campus about energy efficiency and conservation, as well as continuing the drive to switch the entire campus electric load to renewable energy.

Spokespeople

Spokespeople is a student-run bicycle collective based on the credo that bicycling is a sane, inexpensive, and sustainable alternative to the reliance on motor vehicles promotes cleaner air, land, and water and helps you stay active. Come on - grab those handlebars!
