Environmental Coalition at Virginia Tech Details
Environmental Coalition (EC) at Virginia Tech is a student-run, horizontal organization dedicated to empowering and educating VT students about environmental issues. Our mission is to advocate for a sustainable future by uniting, educating and motivating community members to serve at the local, state, and national levels through promoting sustainability, fostering environmental awareness, and enabling positive change on the Virginia Tech campus and surrounding Blacksburg area. Anyone is welcome and encouraged to join us in our weekly meetings and any other event we hold with an attitude of mindfulness and respect for each other's being and ideas. There are no dues to be a member nor financial requirements to attend events.In the past EC has devoted itself to pushing the administration to create and update its Climate Action Commitment, a campaign to preserve Stadium Woods, The Big Plant, and much more. Currently, EC is working on multiple campaigns; a campaign to stop the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a fossil fuel divestment campaign, and the development of an impactful Earth Week.
