The above photo demonstrates the migration of the rubber crumb turf off of the field and into the drains and sidelines. This project proposed transitioning from harmful rubber crumb turf on campus fields to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative turf. Implementing this proposed idea will help to limit campus community members' exposure to the harmful chemicals and microplastics that are found in rubber turf. Additionally, it will help to mitigate the turf from entering our campus’ local creeks and drains.

The Environmental Studies Club proposed a two-day Northern California Intercollegiate Climate Community Conference, which aims to bring together students, faculty, and staff from universities and colleges that often feel isolated. The conference seeks to address the urgent need for collaborative efforts to tackle climate change, and to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices among the participants. Each invited school will be requested to bring a presentation on their campus climate initiatives, accompanied by a faculty member and art.
